	Pore Jud is Daid
		In Green Grow the Lilacs, the homicidal farmhand who menaces the peace of a rural community near Tulsa in the Indian Territory during the summer of 1900 is named Jeeter Fry; ever mindful of singability, Hammerstein changed the villain's first name to Jud.
		A bitter quarrel is sparked by Rod's discovering in Room 2 of the hotel a green tie with polka dots that he had given to his Uncle Walt, with whom Beth has been having an affair; Beth spent the previous night with her lover, who had registered at the Royal Hotel under a fictitious name.
		In Green Grow the Lilacs, Jeeter Fry's low self-esteem accounts for much of the conduct that makes his young employer, Laurey Williams, afraid of him, although he is essential to the operation of her farm.

		The Scots' marching song was the folk-tune 'Green Grow the Rashes O' and that is why Santa Ana's army and finally the whole of Mexico called the Americans Gringos."
		And the song involved in the version I heard was Green Grow the Lilacs.

		When Jerome Kern declined Hammerstein's invitation to write the musical adaptation with him, and when Hart bowed out of his commitment to musicalize the work with Rodgers, it was only inevitable that the ensuing musical play would become the first work by the team of Rodgers and Hammerstein.

		Nunn also does all he can to stress the social conflict between farmers and cowboys that underlies the region's growing pains and is the subject of the opening song in Act 2 "The Farmer and the Cowman." But Hammerstein hasn't given him much besides this song to work with.
		Ever the cock-eyed optimist, Hammerstein the liberal admitted social evils like discrimination and economic aggrandizement into the previously socially virginal world of musical comedy, usually to triumph over them.
