- Arlette is a 1917 operetta in three acts by Austen Hurgon and George Arthurs with lyrics by Adrian Ross and Clifford Grey. Produced by George Grossmith Jr. and Edward Laurillard it was adapted from the French with music by Jane Vieu, Guy Le Feuvre and Ivor Novello. It opened at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London on 6 September 1917 where it ran for 260 performances. It starred Winifred Barnes, Joseph Coyne and Stanley Lupino. Originally produced in Brussels in October 1904 with music by Jane Vieu and a book and lyrics by Claude Roland and Louis Bouvet, it underwent considerable alteration for the British production resulting in only two of Vieu's songs remaining while the rest were specially written for the show by Ivor Novello and Guy Le Feuvre. The critic for The Stage commented that these changes reduced the piece from an operetta to a musical comedy. The London production was directed by Austen Hurgon, and the musical director was Leonard Hornsey. The play's opening night coincided with the worst of the German air raids on London during World War I, but the cast decided to continue with evening performances. In 1936 the show was revised and retitled How Do, Princess?, with six new songs by Novello, but the subsequent tour of the British provinces was a financial disaster and quickly closed. On 14 October 1937 a one-hour condensed version was broadcast on BBC Radio with Jean Colin as Arlette and Tommy Handley as Rono. (en)
