Description

This is a photocopy of the piano vocal score for No. 32,  Herbert’s The Madcap Duchess, which opened on the Broadway stage on November 11, 1913 in the Globe Theatre (today the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre at 205 W. 46th Street).  The operetta was actually based on a novel by Irishman Justin Huntly McCarthy (1859 –1936) entitled Seraphica (1908). McCarthy was assisted by David Stevens in creating The Madcap Duchess libretto and lyrics.  The producer was Harry H. Frazee (1880-1929).  Fred G. Latham was  stage director, Max Hirschfeld began in as musical director but it was Robert Hood Bowers who opened on Broadway.  The work is set in the Paris of Louis XV with scenery a la Watteau.
