[P. G. Wodehouse. Guy Bolton]
Wodehouse and Bolton's irreverent account of their collaborative involvement in Broadway musicals of the early twentieth century. The pair worked together on several musical comedies including Oh, Boy!, Wodehouse providing the lyrics and Guy Bolton the play. Their anecdotes are peopled with the major players from the golden age of Broadway, including Flo Ziegfeld, Jerome Kern, George Gershwin, Noel Coward, Marion Davies, Adele Astaire and Gertrude Lawrence.
