The Catch of the Season by Seymour Hicks and Cosmo Hamilton

The Catch of the Season by Seymour Hicks and Cosmo Hamilton, with music by Herbert Haines and Evelyn Baker. The flyer is headed Mr George Dance's Co, by arrangement with Charles Frohman'. Seymour Hicks wrote the part of the Duke of St. Jermyns for himself. He is recognisable as the man on the left standing sheepishly with his back to a long row of women dressed for dancing, all are looking hopefully his way. He holds his hat in his hands and is looking nervously over his shoulder. The caption below says Duke, We Are All Unmarried'.
1904
