1925
In 1925 Imogene Coca had a supporting role in
When You Smile, a musical
adaptation of the 1923 play
Extra. The show played the entire summer at the
Walnut, but flopped when it reached Broadway in the fall. This was Coca's first
professional job, but the actress went on to have a successful Broadway theatre
and Emmy-winning television career. (Photograph courtesy of the Theatre Collection,
