Lee Theodore

Arthur Eichengrün (13 August 1867 – 23 December 1949) was a German Jewish chemist, materials scientist, and inventor.
 He is known for developing the highly successful anti-gonorrhea drug Protargol, the standard treatment for 50 years until the adoption of antibiotics, and for his pioneering contributions in plastics: co-developing (with Theodore Becker) the first soluble cellulose acetate materials in 1903, called "Cellit", and creating processes for the manufacture of these materials which were influential in the development of injection moulding.
 During World War I his relatively non-inflammable synthetic cellulose acetate lacquers, marketed under the name "Cellon", were important in the aircraft industry.
 He also contributed to photochemistry by inventing the first process for the production and development of cellulose acetate film, which he patented with Becker.
The American Dance Machine was a theatrical dance company created by Lee Theodore, which played on Broadway at the Century Theatre, opening Jun 14, 1978 and in total running 199 performances.
 It was duplicated with a second cast for the American Dance Festival at Duke University in 1978.
 The show was a "Living Archive" of Broadway theatre dance; great theatre dances saved from oblivion.
 Films were made of the performances to preserve original Broadway choreography and can be found at the Lincoln Center Library of the Performing Arts in New York City.
 Broadway legend Gwen Verdon appeared in film versions of the show.
 Choreographers included: Agnes De Mille, Jack Cole, Joe Layton, Michael Kidd, Ron Field, Bob Fosse, Onna White and Peter Gennaro.
 Featured dancers and guest artists included Janet Elber, Carol Estey, Harold Cromer, Liza Gennaro, Patti Mariano, Nancy Chismar, Lawrence Leritz and Donald Young.
The Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Play is an honor presented at the Tony Awards, a ceremony established in 1947 as the Antoinette Perry Awards for Excellence in Theatre, to actresses for quality supporting roles in a Broadway play.
 The awards are named after Antoinette Perry, an American actress who died in 1946.
 Honors in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by the Tony Award Productions, a joint venture of The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing, to "honor the best performances and stage productions of the previous year."
 Originally called the Tony Award for Actress, Supporting or Featured (Dramatic), it was later changed to its current title in 1976.
 Before 1956, nominees' names were not made public.
 The change was made by the awards committee to "have a greater impact on theatregoers".
The Apple Tree is a series of three musical playlets with music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and a book by Bock and Harnick with contributions from Jerome Coopersmith.
 Each act has its own storyline, but all three are tied together by a common theme (someone who believes that they want something, but once they get what they wanted they realize that it wasn't what they wanted) and common references, such as references to the color brown.
 The first act is based on Mark Twain's "The Diary of Adam and Eve"; the second act is based on Frank R. Stockton's "The Lady or the Tiger?
"; the third act is based on Jules Feiffer's "Passionella".
 The working title for the evening of three musicals was "Come Back!
 Go Away!
 I Love You!"
