THE WAR YEARS (1942- 1945): "THE GOLDEN AGE OF PHILIPPINE THEATER"/ ROGELIO DE LA ROSA, PACITA DEL RIO/ NORMA BLANCAFLOR, KATY DE LA CRUZ, PUGUING & TUGUING, SOTO & BAYANI AND AN ALL-STAR CAST IN "SI, SI, SENORITA" (1943)

A record-breaking production in 1943, Gerardo de Leon’s “Si, Si Señorita,” the stage adaptation of the hit film “Anong Ganda Mo,” enjoyed a five-week run at the Life Theater from March 16 to April 15. Set in the Maria Clara era and hailed as “the gayest musical comedy of the season,” the show starred the popular love team of Rogelio de la Rosa and Norma Blancaflor, who stepped in midway through the run to replace Pacita del Rio.
