Notes
-
This production is believed to have been the first of Thornton's one act musical revues for Harry Clay, and perhaps the first that he wrote. Previews and reviews indicate that Thornton's revusicals, and this one in particular, contained a stronger plot within their story lines than most contemporary productions. Everyone's, for example, wrote in May that 'all [his productions] are written with a view to continuity of plot and the inclusion of song numbers of an appropriate nature' (6 May 1925, p.37).
