The Honeymoon Express (musical)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Honeymoon Express is a musical in two acts and six scenes with music by Jean Schwartz, lyrics by Harold Atteridge, and a book by Joseph W. Herbert.[1] Frank Saddler orchestrated the score.[2] Essentially a musical revue, the work had a loose plot which was crafted around the talents of its star-studded cast, among them Al Jolson, Fanny Brice, Gaby Deslys, and Jenny Dolly. The show was notable for its elaborate costumes and sets and for its groundbreaking special effects for that time period; including possibly the first use of film footage on the stage of a Broadway musical.[3]
