Description A musical in two acts, written in1898, set in Corsica and Venice. Features songs like 'The Cigarette Song'. Sample lyrics: 'If girls and boys/ were asked what joys/ They found the most entrancing,/Each boy would name/ His favorite game/ From 'Ducks and Drakes' to dancing;/ but girls with me/ would all agree/ Although you'll think I'm joking,/With twinkling eye/ They'd make reply/ 'The best of all is smoking.' / Oh sly cigarette/ Why did you teach me to love you so … (Music Lionel Monckton, words by Aubrey Hopwood.).
