by H. S. Goodhart-Rendel
H. S. Goodhart-Rendel describes and criticises English musical comedy- as it was in its heyday—‛ the day of the song-and-dance, of the This-Girl or the That-Girl in the title role, and of Girls, Girls, Girls in the choruses.'
He illustrates the more characteristic lyrics and musical settings of the period and claims for them a higher entertainment value than is usually provided in the larger and less intimate entertainments of today.
