The Earl and the Girl is a musical comedy in two acts, with a book by Seymour Hicks, lyrics by Percy Greenbank and music by Ivan Caryll. It was produced by William Greet and opened at the Adelphi Theatre in London on 10 December 1903. It transferred to the Lyric Theatre on 12 September 1904, running for a total of 371 performances.[1][2] It also ran at the Casino Theatre in New York beginning on 4 November 1905 for 148 performances (with some added music and lyrics by Jerome Kern and others), starring Eddie Foy and W. H. Denny.[3] A production toured Australia in 1906 and 1907.[4] A revival in London in 1914 ran for a total of 107 performances,[5] and there were later revivals and tours.[6]
The original London cast included a number of performers who had recently appeared in productions of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, which was no longer performing at the Savoy Theatre at the time of the premiere of The Earl and the Girl, including Walter Passmore, Henry Lytton, Robert Evett, M. R. Morand, Reginald Crompton, Powis Pinder, Charles Childerstone, Alec Fraser, Ernest Torrence, Rudolph Lewis, Agnes Fraser, and Louie Pounds.[7][8] Lytton later used the song "My Cosy Corner" from the show in his music hall acts with much success, and made a recording of it.[9] Kern's song "How'd You Like to Spoon with Me?" was interpolated into the New York production, and it also became a hit.[10]
