After a tryout in Rochester, New York,[2] the musical opened at the Knickerbocker Theatre in New York City, on September 4, 1905.[3] It was produced by Charles B. Dillingham and directed by Al Holbrook, with music direction by Antonio DeNovellis. The scenic design was by Homer Emens and Edward G. Unitt, and costumes were by Caroline Seidle. The show soon transferred to the New Amsterdam Theatre on October 16, 1905. It ran for a total of 56 performances.[1]
