AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Produced for the first time only two weeks before the death of its composer, H. T. Harrision, Saucy Suzie was described in advertising as a 'nautical burlesque,' comprising over forty songs composed, arranged and selected by H. T. Harrison. Divided into 3 acts and five scenes, Peter Downes records in The Pollards that the work stuggled for acceptance due to its excessive length (p. 137).
