Burlesque
This was originally a straight play, first performed in London in 1928.
On the pre London tour Ronnie Genarda had two listed roles as A Fireman and Tenor. By the time the production opened in London the roles seem to have disappeared along with Mr Genarda.
When the production transferred to the Garrick it ran twice nightly and Annabella Ross replaced Zoe Gail as Mazie.
