 <\/p>\n

Here is a record from the Edward Mitchell collection<\/a> with two catchy songs from a mostly forgotten musical comedy, The Madcap<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The New York production ran from January 31 through April 28, 1928, at the Royale<\/a> and Casino<\/a> Theaters.\u00a0 These recordings were made when the show was still in out-of-town tryouts<\/a>.\u00a0 It initially opened in January 1927 under the name Green Fruit<\/em>.\u00a0 By April, the show had gone back into rehearsal with a new cast except for the show’s star, Mitzi Hajos<\/a>, and was given a new name, Chibi<\/em>, which was changed again to The Madcap<\/em> by the time it opened up at Poli’s Theatre<\/a> in Washington DC on April 19.<\/p>\n

This record was released to Victor dealer’s stores in September 1927.<\/p>\n

Nat Shilkret<\/a> was the music director for Victor’s in-house studio orchestra.\u00a0 Johnny Marvin<\/a> was an early crooner famous for accompanying himself on the ukulele during the 1920s ukulele craze<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
