| Publisher Description: "The Pink Lady" was the musical sensation of its day, breaking all box office records. Based on a popular French farce concerning a mysterious masked man who steals kisses from maidens in the woods, along with the romantic intrigues of its principals, librettist C. M. S. McLallan's book received high phrase from The New York Times claiming "the fun is developed logically out of its situations and so are its songs-not a musical number occurs which does not carry the plot along further, instead of halting it." Journalist turned playwright and librettist C. M. S. McLallan, who also wrote the historically significant musical "The Belle of New York" under the name Hugh Morton, wrote the librettos to the musicals of some of the best well known Broadway composers of the time including Gustave Kerker and Ivan Caryll. The complete book and lyrics published as part of Theatre Arts Press' Historical Libretto Series of Musicals |
