Fanchon and Marco

The productions were "distinguished by their snappy pace, intricate choreography, spectacular costumes, lavish sets, and teams of chorus dancers",[4] and also toured nationally.

Unlike other productions, Fanchon and Marco's "Ideas" were designed to be independent of the films shown, allowing them to be performed in many different cities and circumstances.

Among the performers whose careers started in Fanchon and Marco shows were Dorothy Lamour, Janet Gaynor, Charles Walters, Bing Crosby, and Judy Garland.

They operated a costume company, a talent and ballet school (one of whose pupils was Cyd Charisse), a string of theatres in Los Angeles, and nightclubs.

She continued to produce the spectacular shows annually, at the Pan-Pacific Auditorium in Los Angeles, supervising not only the ice dancing but all aspects of the presentation.

Fanchon started to work for 20th Century Fox and produced the musical sequences in films including those by Sonja Henie and Betty Grable.
