In this ground-breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period – from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media – and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at doi.org/10.1017/9781108614306. derek b. scott is Professor of Critical Musicology at the University of Leeds.

    INFORMATION TO USERS Tins reproduction was made from a copy o f a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality o f the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “ target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Pagc(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing pagc(s) or section, they arc spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication o f either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part o f the material being photographed, a definite method o f “ sectioning" the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • 1 'Believe ME OR Not'
    1 ‘Believe me or not’ Actresses, female performers, autobiography and the scripting of professional practice Maggie B. Gale Confessing the professional Borrowed for the title of my chapter, Believe Me or Not! was the first of two autobiographies written by the Gaiety Girl, stage and screen performer, writer and celebrity raconteur Ruby Miller (1889–1976). Published in 1933, after the early death of her husband, the pianist Max Darewski, the book takes the reader on a chronological journey through Miller’s career, from objectified ‘stage beauty’ to silent film star and society celebrity – with an uncanny onscreen resemblance to the film ‘vamp’ Pola Negri (Darewski [Miller], 1933: 178; Miller, 1962: 111–12). Miller’s intense autho- rial voice shifts in register between a woman concerned to assert her professional achievements and one still grieving for a love lost too soon. Her second autobiography, Champagne from My Slipper (Miller, 1962), repeats numerous anecdotes from the 1933 autobiography, but covers an additional thirty years of professional activity: it speaks to an altered market and an ageing, differently nuanced readership. Both autobiogra- phies articulate a professional presence in an industry transformed from one end of the century to another – by war, the emancipation of women, the development of the film industry and its impact on live theatre, by class conflict and shifts in the relationship between class and leisure, and by changed understandings of the social and cultural function of theatre. Miller challenges us to ‘believe her or not’ – and questions, up front, the precarious and fluid relationship between fact and fiction, through time and within the frame of autobiographical writing.
