Notes
-
Another of Arthur Morley's popular revues, first staged on the Harry Clay circuit, Everybody's Doing It does not appear to be related to a similarly titled English revue, dating back to 1913.
-
A similarly titled revue was later staged at Sydney's Tivoli Theatre (ca. December 1918). It is not clear if this was an original revue or adapted for the local stage from the earlier English production. The Tivoli cast included Lottie Sargent, Elsie Parkes, Charles Workman, and J. A. Lipman (as Moses Margulus).
-
'Planer,' one of the Theatre's variety critics, writes of the 1917 Bridge Theatre season that 'The outstanding feature of the comedy ... is Olive Stevens' presentation of a quaint old women. Never for a moment does Miss Stevens give the impression that she is anything other than the creation she is depicting' (n. pag.).
