6 of these 28 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 22 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.
Recordings 2 held for the work
None of these is attributed to this staging. They are filed against The Red Mill, and nothing in the record says which production any of them documents. Closing that join is the point of this catalogue and it is not closed yet.
Around this production
- Mlle. Modiste inaugurated the partnership of composer Victor Herbert and librettist-lyricist Henry Blossom (they wrote eight scores together), and was their second in popularity to The Red Mill . Broadway Musicals Show By Show Seventh Edition Stanley Green Cary Ginell, p. 23
- 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.

- Prompted by the successful 1945 revival of Herbert’s The Red Mill starring comic Eddie Foy Jr. Broadway Musicals Show By Show Seventh Edition Stanley Green Cary Ginell, p. 31
- Mile. Modiste inaugurated the partnership of composer Victor Herbert and librettist-lyricist Henry Blossom (they wrote eight scores together), and was their second in popularity to The Red Mill. Broadway Musicals Show By Show Green Stanley Green Kay 5th Ed Rev and Updated By, p. 34
- In 1945 the successful revival of Victor Herbert's The Red Mill moved here from the Ziegfeld Theatre and remained for a year. At This Theatre 100 Years of Broadway Shows Stories and Botto Louis Viagas Rober, p. 200
