Cabaret Girl: Gripps and Gravvins are London song publishers and the producers of The All-Night Follies. Their shaky enterprise is really held together by their secretary, Effie.

Our hero, Jim, is land-rich but money poor and is so in love with cabaret girl Marilynn (Nanne Puritz) that he is willing to sacrifice a much-needed inheritance to marry her.

The trustees, his aunt � Marchioness Harrogate, and his cousin the Marquis must be persuaded that the match is 'suitable'. Conspiring to bring about this union are the members of the cabaret troupe � Harry Zona; Lily; Little Ada; the dance team of March and April; and their manager Feloosi.

The London success of Jerome Kern's 'Sally' prompted its producer to hop an ocean liner with P.G. Wodehouse and write a new show for Kern to musicalize. Although Cabaret Girl ran for over a year on the West End, it never came to New York. Songs include: You Want the Best Seats, We Have 'Em; Whoop-De-Oodle-Do; Dear Old London; Shimmy with Me; London, Dear Old London; Dancing Time; Chopin Ad-Lib.
