I don't remember reading about Conductor 1492, adapted from Fitzgerald's story "The Camel's Back." Johnny Hines starred, along with Dorothy Vernon, the mother of Christie comedian Bobby Vernon.

I do not remember reading that Zelda Fitzgerald wrote the book and lyrics for a musical called The Clinging Vine, using her maiden name, Zelda Sayre. The reporter may have been confused. The author appears to have been Zelda Sears.
