Frederic and Fanny Hatton wrote the comedy with Leo Ditrichstein as a vehicle for him. It opened on 10 November 1915 at the Longacre and ran for 245 performances. George M. Cohan and Sam H. Harris produced the play, which was directed by Sam Forrest. Ditrichstein played a philandering baritone. Part of the appeal of the play was the sense that it offered a glimpse behind the scenes of a great opera house.
