In the Spring of 1962, seven years after Lemuel Ayers demise, Edwin Lester and his Los Angeles/San Francisco Civic Light Opera Association, remounted the original Broadway 1953 "Kismet" production for their summer revival season. The production's original costumes and scenery had been purchased by the Dallas Light Opera and warehoused in Texas. The Lemuel Ayers Estate loaned all of the original set and costume designs, including 1/2" = 1'-0" scenic drop and set paint illustrations and conceptual designs to Edwin Lester's scenic shop. Phil Raiguel, the scenic supervisor who had painted the original production, supervised the scenic restoration; most of the scenic artists and stage carpenters employed had built and painted the original production.

Ayers sometimes designed costumes for shows, as well, but frequently collaborated with costume designer Miles White. The Arthur Freed MGM Unit and Vincente Minnelli brought Ayers to the Culver City MGM Studios to design "Meet Me in St. Louis". As was the custom with a NYC "imported Broadway theatre designer", Cedric Gibbons, MGM art department supervisor, appointed Jack Martin Smith, assigned to co-art direct the film. Upon completion of "Meet Me in St.
Louis", Lemuel Ayers recommended the Alfred Lunt-Lynn Fontanne Broadway play "The Pirate" (1942-177 performances) to Vincente Minnelli and Judy Garland for his next follow up feature.
