The Wylie-Tate revue Brighter London by Laurie Wylie, with lyrics by Clifford Harris, and others, was produced by Julian Wylie at the London Hippodrome on 23 March 1923. Additional scenes were written by R.P. Weston and Bert Lee, the music was composed, selected and arranged by Herman Fink, and the ballets, musical numbers and ensembles were staged by Gus Sohlke. All costumes were designed by Dolly Tree. The principal members of the cast were Billy Merson, Lupino Lane, who introduced the popular American song, 'Yes, We Have No Bananas,', Annie Croft and Elsie Prince. One of the attractions of Brighter London was the appearance of Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra. |
