Fifty Million Frenchmen (1929), a musical comedy by Herbert
Fields (book), Cole
Porter (music, lyrics). [Lyric Theatre, 257 perf.] In Paris, the rich American Peter Forbes ( William
Gaxton) bets a friend $25,000 that he can win American tourist Looloo Carroll ( Genevieve
Tobin) without disclosing how wealthy he is. He takes a job as a Parisian guide and wins Looloo away from the titled Russian, whom her snobbish parents hope she will marry.
Notable songs: Find Me a Primitive Man; You Do Something to Me; You've Got That Thing; You Don't Know Paree. The E. Ray
Goetz production had such lavish sets that they had to be cut down before they would fit into the theatre, but the musical's biggest problem was the onset of the Depression, which shortened what might have been a longer run. All the same, it was the first of Porter's many hit shows.
