Summary

Musicals that opened in November tended to operate in pairs. Annie Dear, a musical comedy starring Billie Burke and produced by Florenz Ziegfeld, opened days before a revival of the play Peter Pan, starring Marilyn Miller and produced by Charles B. Dillingham. Burke was known for her dramatic roles and Miller for her dancing and singing ones, so this was a reversal of norms. Two adaptations of continental European works opened on Anglophone stages: The First Kiss, a transformation of a Spanish zarzuela, in London, and a new version of Madame Pompadour in New York.
