There is a light bit of toning on the semi-glossy pages that have photographs. And I saw a little bit of the same toning on the text pages that face the semi-glossy photographs.

(B&W photographs) The book and lyrics (but not the music) for the Broadway musical about Fiorello LaGuardia, the popular New York City mayor who served from 1934 to 1945. The musical was popular, too: it ran for two seasons (November 1959-October 1961; 795 performances), and did very well in the major theatre awards, winning three Tony Awards (including Best Musical, shared with "The Sound of Music," and Best Featured Actor for star Tom Bosley), the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Musical. And yet it's never made it into the canon of "great Broadway musicals," and none of its songs has ever become a standard.…

Julie Newmar (born Julia Chalene Newmeyer, August 16, 1933) is an American actress, dancer, and singer, known for a variety of stage, screen, and television roles, as well as a writer, lingerie inventor, and real-estate mogul. She won the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play for her role as Katrin Sveg in the 1958 Broadway production of The Marriage-Go-Round and reprised the role in the 1961 film version. In the 1960s, she starred for two seasons as Catwoman in the television series Batman (19661967). Her other stage credits include the Ziegfeld Follies in 1956, Lola in Damn Yankees! in 1961, and Irma in Irma la Douce in 1965 in regional productions. Newmar appeared in the music video for George Michael's 1992 single "Too Funky" and had a cameo as herself in the 1995 film To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar. Her voice work includes the animated feature films Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders (2016) and Batman vs. Two-Face (2017), where she reprised her role as Catwoman 50 years after the original television series. Newmar had first appeared on Broadway in 1955 in Silk Stockings. Newmar's fame stems mainly from her television appearances. Her statuesque form and height made her a larger-than-life sex symbol, most often cast as a temptress or Amazonian beauty, including an early appearance in sexy maid costume on The Phil Silvers Show. She starred as Rhoda the Robot on the television series My Living Doll (19641965), and is known for her recurring role on the 1960s television series Batman as the villainess Catwoman. In the 1970s, Newmar received two U.S. patents for pantyhose and one for a brassiere. The pantyhose were described as having "cheeky derriere relief" and promoted under the name "Nudemar." The brassiere was described as "nearly invisible" and in the style of Marilyn Monroe. Haymer Lionel Flieg (January 19, 1920 November 18, 1989), known professionally as Johnny Haymer, was an American actor known for his role as Staff Sergeant Zelmo Zale, a recurring character in the television series M*A*S*H.
