Mae West: Rochester

Rarely did MAE WEST miss a performance. When she did, however, it made the news.
• • Exactly sixty years ago today, on 16 February 1950, Mae was starring in her popular Bowery drama "Diamond Lil" at the Auditorium Theatre in Rochester — — when she collapsed onstage. She was suffering from food poisoning.
• • The Auditorium Center was originally constructed for the Freemasons in 1928.
• • Happily, the Rochester Auditorium Theatre is still open for business and in the same location as back in 1950: 875 East Main Street, Rochester, NY 14605.
