Musical comedy with lyrics by Irving Caesar and Otto Harbach and music by Vincent Youmans based on Frank Mandel's 1919 Broadway play "My Lady Friends". It opened for tryouts in the Garrick Theater in Detroit.
The lighthearted coming of age plot centers on a fun-loving Manhattan heiress who gives her boyfriend the cold shoulder and runs off to Atlantic City for a weekend. By the final curtain Nanette and her man are reunited and her bible publishing foster father mends his philandering ways.
