Notes

Although no precise performance details relating to this revusical have yet been established, it was likely staged on the Clay circuit in 1916. The only reference to Who's the Liar found to date is the 4 October 1916 edition of Australian Variety ('Clay's Budget' column) in which Arthur Morley warns pirates that the following revues and burlesques were his property: A Kiss in the Dark, On the Sands, Not a Word to the Wife, Who's the Liar, On Deck, In Old Kentucky, and Saints and Sinners ('Clay's Budget', n. pag.).
-
It is not known if any relationship existed between this revusical and a similarly titled Arthur Morley production, Who's the Boss (first known to have been staged on the Clay circuit in February 1917).
