Today in J/N History

1935 Bob Ritchie visits Jeanette at Lake Tahoe, where "Rose Marie" is filming. According to surviving letters, Ritchie was interested in rekindling a romance with Jeanette but as she later wrote him, she didn't think she could ever feel that way about him again. He remained her manager but not surprisingly, he was shipped off to work in England by MGM, to find and sign more talent for the studio.  This conveniently moved him out of Jeanette's personal life.
