	Playbill News: Adolph Green's Life Celebrated Dec. 3 at the Shubert Theatre
		Green was 87 when he died at his home in Manhattan early Oct. 24 (the initial obituary on Playbill On-Line indicated he died the night of Oct. 23).
		Green, a native New Yorker from the Bronx, made a name in showbusiness starting as a scrappy downtown actor songwriter in a 1930s sketch-comedy group called The Revuers, which included Comden and Judy Holliday.
		Green later admitted it was a project they grudgingly adapted; he felt the picture was perfect and didn't necessarily belong on stage, but said he felt it was going to be adapted anyway, with or without him and Comden.

		The Comden And Green Fan Club was more select than they might have wished, but it included some heavy-hitters: their friend and composing partner, Leonard Bernstein, adored Adolph because he was a mine of knowledge about great art but was also a great laugh, a balancing act Lenny himself eventually lost the knack of.
		Betty and Adolph were good friends of Kelly's and they bristled a little when I put this theory to them, but one of the reasons why Singin' is Kelly's greatest picture is because it transforms his limitations into strengths.
		But Green was a madcap white-haired elf, and wistfulness and regret doesn't seem quite the tone.
