- Abstract
- An operetta in three acts. American book and lyrics by George V. Hobart. Staged by George Francis. Opened 7 October 1912 at the Astor Theatre and closed 2 November 1912 after 32 performances.
The out of town run of this operetta was Jack Donahue's first experience with musical comedy. In its out of town run, he was engaged for a bit and specialty dance, alternating taps with a rhythmic swish of the brush. His specialty was sand dancing; he played with the show in Springfield, MA at the Court Square Theatre and then in Boston, where he received notices. (Norton 1912.37). - Source
