Dec. 23, 1960: “Mary Martin invited the sons and daughters of radio and TV writers to a rehearsal of ‘Peter Pan.’ They were assembled on stage and she flew down to greet them. ‘Why, you're a girl!’ said one smart little lad. She explained Peter has always been played by a girl, invited them all to a matinee of ‘Sound of Music.’ ”
