Of the 2,148 productions we hold that opened in the 1920s and record a performance count, this is the 780th longest. That is a rank within what we hold, not within everything that was staged.
This is a New York theatre. The address is Manhattan and the former names are Broadway names, but the record is filed as West End and its coordinates, architect and history were taken from the London theatre of the same name. Every one of these names exists on both streets. Reported to broadway-data as issue #97.

5 of these 44 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 39 are set from the identifier in the cast list, which is a slug of the name — so hyphens and full stops are lost and a few come out wrong. We hold nothing else about them. Nobody here is matched to a character: the cast list records who was in the company and not what they played.

A producer is one string on this record, however many people or companies it names. Directors and choreographers are held both as text and as identifiers; where an identifier exists the name links to a page.
Around this production
This was one of Oscar Hammerstein II's earliest Broadway credits as a lyricist. The show was primarily a vehicle for popular comedian Frank Tinney, whose improvisational antics were the main draw.
