Music by Jerome Kern, lyrics by P. G. Wodehouse. Published by T. B. Harms Co., New York

Using a minstrel-show catch line for a title, the last Kern-Wodehouse-Bolton Princess Theatre Musical was the exclamatory successor to Oh, Boy! In a plot that amounted to virtual self-plagiarism, the characters were again caught up in a series of amatory mixups and misunderstandings.

'Bolton and Wodehouse and Kern are my favourite indoor sport. I like the way they go about a musical comedy. I like the way that action slides casually into songs.' As Dorothy Parker wrote of Oh, Lady! Lady!!
