These come off the person record, which names a work and not a production. So we can say this name is attached to the work and we cannot say which staging, or in what capacity. For a composer or a writer that is the whole career we hold; there is no cast list to find them in.

- The Red Mill was closer to being a musical farce than the kind of operetta usually associated with Victor Herbert. There was ample compensation, however, in the fact that it achieved the longest run of any of the composer’s 41 book musicals produced during his lifetime. The show, which was typical of many of the period in depicting Americ…ebooks/Green, Stanley/Broadway Musicals, Show By Show - Seventh Edition - Stanley Green & Cary Ginell.txt
- Prompted by the successful 1945 revival of Herbert’s The Red Mill starring comic Eddie Foy Jr., Herbert’s Sweethearts was resuscitated for comic Bobby Clark (see page 134). Here the secondary role of political operator Mikel Mikeloviz was retailored to Clark’s specifications, and the resourceful clown turned the evening into a self-kiddin…ebooks/Green, Stanley/Broadway Musicals, Show By Show - Seventh Edition - Stanley Green & Cary Ginell.txt

- A circus acrobat in his youth, Stone made a specialty of executing at least one physical stunt in each of his shows. In The Red Mill , he had two, the first on his entrance, falling backward down an eighteen-foot ladder. (It was managed with padded trousers that gripped the ladder’s sides to control what appeared to the audience to be a s…ebooks/Mordden, Ethan/Anything Goes_ A History of American Musical Theatre - Ethan Mordden.txt
- Producer Dillingham billed The Red Mill as “a musical comedy,” and he was right. Today, Victor Herbert is the CEO of operetta, but while he did start off in comic opera, he worked in every available form (including revue) from Babes in Toyland on. Further, his phenomenal national presence as the man who spanned classical and popular music…ebooks/Mordden, Ethan/Anything Goes_ A History of American Musical Theatre - Ethan Mordden.txt

What this page does not know
- What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
- Any staging. This name appears in no production cast list we hold — 1,877 of 7,139 people are in that position, most of them writers, composers and designers rather than performers.
- Birth or death year. Neither is on the record.
- Any biography.
- Which of the credits above the roles on this record — composer — apply to. The roles sit on the person and never on a credit, so a director who also acted looks the same here as one who did not.
