    The Geisha, a story of a tea house is an Edwardian musical comedy in two acts. The score was composed by Sidney Jones to a libretto by Owen Hall, with lyrics by Harry Greenbank. Additional songs were written by Lionel Monckton and James Philp. The Geisha opened in 1896 at Daly's Theatre in London's West End, produced by George Edwardes. The original production had the second-longest run of any musical up to that time. The cast starred Marie Tempest and C. Hayden Coffin, with dancer Letty Lind and comic Huntley Wright. The show was an immediate success abroad, with an 1896 production in New York and numerous tours and productions in Europe and beyond. It continued to be popular until World War II and even beyond to some degree. The most famous song from the show is "The Amorous Goldfish".[1] Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Geisha

    "BOXER BECAME BALLET STAR The fairly general Australian view that male ballet dancers are "cissies" is condemned by Valentin Zeglovsky in his highly entertaining autobiogrgphy, "Ballet Crusade." Zeglovsky, who came to Australia with the Colonel de Basil company and decided to stay, was a timber cutter and cowhand in Latvia. He almost became a prizefighter before he joined the Riga State Opera ballet and began world travels as a dancer. His story, translated from the Russian, is quickly-told in the clipped style of modern journalism, with plenty of humour and drama. The chapters on his childhood in Russia before and during the Revolution make an incredible picture. Of particular appeal to the balletomane (and printed on pastel-coloured paper: pink, fawn, blue and green), the book has numerous photographs and ends with a critical appraisal of ballet in Australia.
