  • Summary

    A sense of hope permeated the revues and musical comedies that appeared from March through May, though an underlying seriousness was emerging in both how the popular musical theatre was being viewed on the whole and how such works were being constructed. Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart and Herbert Fields had two amateur musicals for schools appear (Temple Belles and The Prisoner of Zenda); the popular Spanish zarzuela Doña Francisquita began touring South America; the team of Guy Bolton, P. G. Wodehouse and Jerome Kern reunited to create Sitting Pretty; and stars such as José Collins, Leslie Henson and Jack Buchanan starred in new productions.
