Fade Out - Fade In, the story of a hopeful but clumsy chorus girl accidentally given a starring movie role, had a book and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green and music by Jule Styne.  Initially a box-office hit which outgrossed Hello, Dolly! and Funny Girl, it lost momentum and closed after the star, Carol Burnett, was injured.
