The fall season proved disastrous for Oscar Hammerstein II, who had two huge failures in a row. Both opened at the Manhattan Theatre, Free for All on September 8 for fifteen performances and East Wind on October 27 for twenty-three showings, and while the latter may have been burdened by its clichéd operetta plot book:the-complete-book-of-1930s-broadway-musicals-dietz-dan-rowman-littlefield-publis#p162
several impressive operettas appeared in the 1930s, including Friml’s Luana (1930) and Romberg’s East Wind (1930), Nina Rosa (1931) and May Wine (1935). book:cambridge-companion-to-the-musical-cambridge-companions-to-music-the-the-cambrid#p111
