The Dubarry is a musical comedy romance, adapted by Eric Maschwitz from the play by Paul Knelper and J. Welleminsky.
This production starred Binnie Hale, Trevor Watkins, Mari Dayne and Billy Leonard, prior to a West End run, commencing 14 April 1932 at His Majesty's Theatre.
Liverpool born Binnie Hale (22 May 1899 – 10 January 1984) was an English actress, singer and dancer. She was one of the most successful musical theatre stars in London in the 1920s and 1930s, able to sing leading roles in operetta as well as musicals, and she was popular as a principal boy in pantomime.
Her best-remembered roles were in the musicals No, No, Nanette (1925) and Mr. Cinders (1929), in which she made famous the song Spread a Little Happiness, covered by Sting in 1982 in Brimstone and Treacle.
