Harry Fitzner put together a video of The Muni Movie 
Celebration of 90 Years. It has been removed it from 
YouTube. However, I will be leaving his words here.
In Harry's own word: 
"In 2007 The St. Louis Municipal Opera (Muni) celebrated
its 90 years of Summer Stock Broadway shows. It's the
largest outdoor revolving stage. I am proud to have 
been a part of the celebration I was a performer (dancer)
at the young age of 22 in 1965 Season 47."
