Edition Notes
Playscript, including song lyrics, for the musical comedy in two acts. From the 1953 Dallas production.
Opened at the Alvin Theatre in New York City on October 14, 1930, and ran for a total of 272 performances. It was directed by Alexander Leftwich, with choreography by George Hale and sets by Donald Oenslager. This musical made a star of Ginger Rogers. Ethel Merman made her stage debut in this musical production. It has been adapted three times for film, most notably in 1943, with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland. In that version, the roles played by Ginger Rogers and Ethel Merman were combined into one, played by Garland. The opening night pit orchestra was composed of many well-known jazz musicians, including Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa, Glenn Miller and Jimmy Dorsey. The score is thought to be one of the Gershwins' best.
Mimeographed reproduction from typescript.
