Harbach. Organized into a prologue, two acts, and an epilogue, the operetta is set in Moscow, Russia and Paris, France in the Spring of 1917.[1]Song of the Flame premiered on Broadway at the 44th Street Theatre on December 30, 1925. It ran for a total of 219 performances; closing on July 10, 1926 after 219 performances. Directed by Frank Reicher and choreographed by Jack Haskell, the production used sets created by the Australian designer Joseph Urban and costumes designed by Mark Mooring. The cast included Phoebe Brune as Natasha, Greek Evans as Konstantin, Tessa Kosta as Aniuta ("The Flame"), and the 52-member Russian Art Choir.[1]Tessa Kay Kosta (December 12, 1890[1] – August 23, 1981) was an American actress who starred in Broadway musicals and operettas during the early decades of the twentieth century.Early life and careerKosta was born in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of Edward and Emma Kosta. Her parents came to America from Hungary the year of her birth, settling first in Chicago and then San Francisco where her father worked as a confectioner.[2] Sometime after the turn of the twentieth century Kosta’s family moved to Ely, Nevada where she graduated from Ely High School in 1907. Prior to entering college at Salt Lake City, she studied music at the Holy Rosary Academy in San Bernardino, California.[3][4][5]Kosta’s break came in February 1911 when producer George W. Lederer plucked her from the chorus to play the title role Yvonne Sherry in road productions of his hit Broadway musical, Madame Sherry.[4][6] She stayed with Madame Sherry for over a year to positive reviews before touring in late 1912 as Claudine with the musical comedy The Pink Lady opposite Olga De Baugh and Harry Depp.[7][8][9][10]Broadway and later yearsHer adult Broadway debut[11] came on April 13, 1914, at the Astor Theatre as Anna Budd in the musical comedy The Beauty Shop.[12] Kosta’s Broadway career would span at least fifteen years,[13] with Chu Chin Chow (1917/18),[14] Lassie (1920),[15] The Chocolate Soldier (1921/22),[16] Caroline (1923)[17] and Song of the Flame (1926)[18] among her more memorable productions. She last appeared on Broadway in 1929 at Jolson's 59th Street Theatre playing the multiple roles Musette, Irma and Lieutenant Fedor in The Fortune Teller.[19]Kosta was married to Richard J. Madden, a theatrical agent, and was a member of the board of directors of the Episcopal Actors Guild, the Ziegfeld Girl’s Club and the Twelfth Night Club. She made numerous trips abroad over the decades following her retirement from the stage. Kosta died in Manhattan of a heart attack in 1981 at the age of 90. Her husband had died some years earlier.[20] More Great Records on sale right now: CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE MORE GREAT RECORDS CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE ALL ITEMS - VINTAGE BOOKS, VICTROLA and TURNTABLE ITEMS, CDs, Books and DVDs http://shop.ebay.com/carsten_sf/m.html ==== A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING: As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.
