Too Hot For Toddy

New York, 1950

New York Times, 11/13/1950 - Princeton, NJ - Rehearsing for the 5th annual production "Latin Follies," members of the Princeton University Triangle Club players are joined by Orchestra De La Vega leader and Broadway producer Don Felipe as they practice a high kick routine. "Too Hot For Toddy" is the title of the 1950 production, which will be staged in New York Dec. 14, 15, & 16. Left to right are: Sammy La Fontaine, Shreveport, LA; Kippie Harvel, Yeadon, PA; Billy Allendale, Pittsburgh, PA; Ritchie Trig; Don Felipe De La Verga; Lannine Lanin; Johnnie Dee, Lockport IL.

Unfortunately, the production closed to scathing reviews after one week and poor attendance. Don Felipe abruptly returned to Los Angeles to focus on live performance with Orchestra De La Vega.
