Innocent Eyes

Innocent Eyes is a musical revue in two acts with music by Sigmund Romberg and Jean Schwartz, lyrics by Harold Atteridge and Tot Seymour, and a book by Atteridge. Produced by brothers Jacob J. and Lee Shubert, the musical premiered at the Winter Garden Theatre on May 20, 1924, where it ran for 126 performances; closing on August 30, 1924. Set in Paris, France, the work had no unifying plot and was instead a series of vignettes intended to show off the various talents of the work's stars. The production's lavish sets and costumes rivaled those of the Ziegfeld Follies; the work's chief competitor in the musical revue genre that Broadway season. Charles Gesmar designed the costumes and Watson Barratt designed the sets.
