The Girl in the Train
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Girl in the Train (Die geschiedene Frau -- literally, The Divorcee), is an operetta in three acts by Leo Fall (1873-1925) with a libretto by Victor Léon. It opened at the Carltheater in Vienna on December 23, 1908. An English adaptation in two acts was produced by George Edwardes at the Vaudeville Theatre in London, opening on 4 June 1910 with lyrics by Adrian Ross. The London production starred Robert Evett, Phyllis Dare and Rutland Barrington. The American production opened at the Globe Theatre in New York on October 3, 1910 with a new adaptation by Harry B. Smith, and subsequently toured in Britain, America and Australia, among others.
The operetta was described as "Tuneful music, pretty girls and good clean comedy judiciously combined."[1]
