- Musical show named after producer Rufus LeMaire. The show debuted in Chicago in 1926 with a cast, which included Sophie Tucker and bandleader Ted Lewis. The production was so successful that LeMaire took it on the road and booked it in New York City where it openened at the then brand new Majestic Theater on March 28, 1927. On the road between Chicago and New York LeMaire decided to replace Tucker with Charlotte Greenwood and make changes to the sketches and costumes. The revised New York production was a relative flop and closed after less than two months in May 1927.
