Synopsis

Having left Ireland, Finian McLonergan and his daughter Sharon arrive in the American state of Missitucky with a magical golden crock which has been stolen from Og, a leprechaun. Finian buries the crock believing that it will grow bigger. Rawkins, a racist Senator, is determined to get his hands on the it but is thwarted when he is magically turned black and gets a helping of his own bigotry. After many plot twists all is resolved and love, wealth and happiness descend on Rainbow Valley.

The Story

Finian McLonergan arrives in Rainbow Valley, Missitucky, with his daughter, Sharon, and a "borrowed" pot of gold. His theory is to plant the gold near Fort Knox. Surely it will multiply just as America's bullion burial has made all Americans rich. They encounter poor sharecroppers who are about to lose their land. Henchmen of Senator Billboard Rawkins are ready to pay back taxes and take over. However, his plan is foiled by Woody, who returns from the big city with the tax money, and by Finian, who covers the hidden charges when Woody cannot. In exchange, Finian gets property rights for enough land to sow his golden dream.

While Sharon and Woody are falling in love, Og, a leprechaun, confronts Finian and demands the return of his pot of gold. But Finian ignores him, as a figment of his imagination. Geologists, working on a secret dam project, detect gold on the sharecroppers' land. Learning this, Rawkins moves in to take the land by force. As he is manhandling a Negro sharecropper, Sharon wishes that Rawkins was black. Unwittingly, she is standing over the magical pot, and her wish is granted. Rawkins dashes into hiding.

A telegram arrives from Shears and Robust granting unlimited credit to the people of the gold-rich valley. Woody persuades them to use the credit to buy tractors and equipment to improve the harvest. Without his gold, Og will become mortal. However, his search for the pot is interrupted by Sharon with whom he immediately falls in love. When Shears and Robust arrive to collect for all the merchandise, Woody satisfies them with proof of future profit. The McLonergan economic theory is working, but Sharon is charged with witchcraft and the mysterious disappearance of Rawkins. Og encounters Billboard in the woods and magically improves his disposition.

Arriving back in the Valley, Og encounters Susan the Silent. Love strikes again, only harder. He also learns Sharon is to be burned as a witch unless a white Rawkins can be found. Og believes Susan can tell him where the gold is hidden and so wishes. She talks. He is sitting above the crock. He unearths the pot and makes the final wish that saves Sharon for Woody, but renders himself completely mortal. But Og has Susan. Finian, having proven his theory without a shadow of doubt, moves on to Oak Ridge, Tennessee, to proclaim the miracles of a small rock given him by Nicholas the Nucleus.

ELLA LOGAN BIO:

With her Irish brogue and her comely-lass looks, Ella Logan made a perfect Sharon McLonergan in the musical Finian’s Rainbow. As it happened, this Irish rose wasn’t Irish at all, but a native of Scotland who enjoyed her greatest success in the United States.

Born in 1913 in Glasgow, Logan – who came from a musical family – was on stage already at age three, singing at the Grand Theater in Paisley. As a band singer in her teens, she performed not only in Scotland but also in England, Germany, and Holland. In 1929 she took to the stage in Edinburgh in the musical Open Your Eyes, written by the displaced Russian composer Vernon Duke, the last musical he wrote before settling permanently in the United States.

Logan went on to make a few records in London in the 1930s and appeared on the West End stage in Darling, I Love You (1930). By 1933 she had come to America and was recording as a band singer with Abe Lyman’s California Orchestra and Adrian’s Ramblers.

In December 1934 she made her Broadway debut in Calling All Stars, a musical revue with a huge cast. She returned to the Great White Way in two more musical revues, George White Scandals (1939; she recorded several of its numbers for Columbia) and Sons o’ Fun (1941), then in the vaudeville Show Time (1942). The producer of Show Time, Fred Finklehoffe, married Logan in 1942.

She made her movie debut in Flying Hostess (1936), a film about the high-altitude adventures of some aspiring stewardesses in the early days of flying. The New York Times review noted that Flying Hostess served “to introduce Ella Logan … whose flair for comedy and unsettled headgear is amusingly capitalized in the film.” She then had a leading role in Top of the Town (1937), a movie musical in which she plays the well-to-do owner of a nightclub at the top of a skyscraper. Also in 1937 she appeared in 52nd Street, a movie musical about the changes in a neighborhood that goes from placid to funky in twelve short years.

But by far the most important movie that Logan appeared in was The Goldwyn Follies (1938) – a lush musical, and the first Goldwyn film shot in Technicolor. The music was by George Gershwin (his last film score), Vernon Duke, and Ray Golden; Ira Gershwin wrote the lyrics, and George Balanchine choreographed. Also in 1938, she recorded “Two Sleepy People” in a duet with its composer, Hoagy Carmichael (the author of the standards “Stardust” and “Heart and Soul”).

In the early 1940s, she joined the USO and sang for troops overseas; she also continued to sing in nightclubs. She returned to Broadway in 1947 for her greatest triumph there as Sharon McLonergan, the spirited female lead in Finian’s Rainbow, which won multiple Tonys. With a book by E. Y. Harburg and Fred Saidy, lyrics by Harburg, and music by Burton Lane, Finian’s Rainbow enjoyed 725 performances and became the first of many musicals to be released by Columbia Records. Logan sings a large share of the numbers.

In her later career, Logan occasionally appeared on television and continued to sing in nightclubs. She died in 1969 at age fifty-six.
