Carson. Her career started when she understudied Ruby Keeler in Florenz Ziegfeld Jr's musical "Show Girl" (1929) with music by the Gershwins. A two-week substitution for Miss Keeler led to important roles in Gershwin's "Strike Up the Band" (1930), Kern & Harbach's "The Cat and the Fiddle" (1931) and Rodgers & Hart's "On Your Toes" (1936) in which she played Frankie Frayne.
