Broadway history. This was Carroll's first attempt at one of his own script adaptations. He made the critical error in casting his girlfriend, Miss Knapp in the lead role in a musical. Knapp couldn't (and didn't) sing in the production and was ridiculed by critics. Carroll's principal backer, Mrs. Anne Warren Weightman Penfield lost her $350,000.00 investment in this show.
Louder, Please (1931). Comedy.
