THAT’S A GOOD GIRL A musical comedy in 2 acts: Book by Douglas Furber; lyrics by Douglas Ferber, Ira Gershwin and Desmond Carter; Music by Joseph Meyer and Philip Charig. London Hippodrome, 5 June, 1928 (363 perfs) SYNOPSIS Joy Dean is a lady detective with a range of traditional but nonetheless funny disguises, and Bill Barrow as her quarry - at first professional but later amorous - in a story which wanders from the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden to the South of France. The journey involves a rich aunt, Helen, and her fortune, a singing couple, Francis Moray and Moya Malone, a voluminous opera singer, Sunya Berata and a line-up of leggy dancers. MUSICAL NUMBERS.
