Bring on the Girls, P.G. Wodehouse and Guy Bolton, 1954

P. G. Wodehouse and Guy Bolton's Bring on the Girls! is a lively and frequently irreverent memoir of their years in American musical comedy, recalling the writers, composers, producers and performers who inhabited Broadway during its great early twentieth-century flowering. Drawing upon their own long and successful theatrical partnership, Wodehouse and Bolton recount behind-the-scenes stories involving figures such as Jerome Kern, George Gershwin, Florenz Ziegfeld and Cole Porter, blending theatrical history with anecdote and characteristic Wodehouse humour. First published in 1954, the book is illustrated with a substantial selection of contemporary photographs.
