Trivia

The main character is based upon the music hall star Lottie Collins, who popularized the song "Ta-Ra-Ra-Boom-de-Ray" and who also had an illegitimate daughter who grew up to be a famous actress, Jose Collins.

The stage revue was notable for its use of a rotating stage, the first of its kind in England. In fact, Charles B. Cochran had to import the machinery from Germany. The play also provided Jessie Matthews with a real-life love interest; she married the leading man Sonnie Hale in January 1931, a few months after the revue opened. Together, they adopted a daughter, Catherine, born in 1935. They divorced in 1944.
