	Untitled
		The opening night audience at Berlin's Theater am Schiffbauerdamm didn't quite know what to expect when the curtain rose on The Threepenny Opera on August 31, 1928, but after the first few musical numbers they began to cheer and call for encores.

	Playbill Features: A User's Guide to Cole Porter's "You're the Top
		"The eyes of Irene Bordoni": French actress (1895-1953) who starred on Broadway in Cole Porter's 1928 musical Paris and introduced "Let's Do It."
		One of Cole Porter's specialties was the "catalogue" song in which he compared a loved one to famous people, landmarks, products, etc. A prime example of this genre is "You're The Top!" from the 1934 hit, Anything Goes.
		The song, in which one character compares another to all that's best in the world is full of topical allusions, snapshots of Porter's world, some of which may be obscure to today's younger generation.

	The New Yorker: The Critics: A Critic At Large
		Although Porter had had three variable outings on Broadway in the twenties (“Greenwich Village Follies,” in 1924, “Paris,” in 1928, and “Wake Up and Dream,” in 1929), the thirties were the decade when he came into his own, with ten musicals for the stage and two for Hollywood.
		This yoking together of high and low culture was part of Porter’s sumptuous impertinence—and a pop landscape new to the musical.
		Porter’s homosexuality is the news at the center of Irwin Winkler’s latest film, “De-Lovely,” which stars Kevin Kline as Porter and Ashley Judd as Linda, his wife of thirty-five years, and which manages somehow to tell Porter’s story without any of the three stylistic ingredients that defined him: rhythm, elegance, and wit.
