MR. FARRELL started underwriting show business last May, when he backed a review — ealled “Hold It, which never achieved the proportions of “Oklahoma!” by a margin of several years. “When “Hold It!” succumbed of natural causes, Mr. Farrell was unwilling to bury it. Mr. Farrell liked it. He Kept the chorus boys and girls on salary all summer, and employéd them in a barnstormer called “We Found Us An Angel.” He then re-cast his dependents into “All for Love.” which recently opened. “Hold It!" cost him a quiet quarter-mil-Mr. Farrell was annoyed with the Shuberts;
