Musical, Early
Noted for his throbbing, minor-key melodies and his worldly, highly polished lyrics, Cole Porter was responsible for the scores of 23 Broadway musicals. His first hit — dubbed “A Musical Comedy Tour of Paris” — was a carefree tale concerning wealthy Peter Forbes (William Gaxton) who has a wager with a friend that he and Looloo Carroll (Genevieve Tobin) will be betrothed within a month.
"a musical comedy tour of Paris,": the show's own period marketing line.
