Garrick Gaieties, The, a series of revues produced by the Theatre Guild in 1925, 1926, and 1930.The 1925 edition was originally mounted only for two Sunday performances in an effort to raise funds for tapestries for the new Guild Theatre. However, it was so well received that the revue was soon brought back for a regular run. Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart wrote the songs for the first two editions, including “Manhattan” and “Mountain Greenery,” as well as a short jazz opera, “The Joy Spreader,” and a spoof of operetta, “The Rose of Arizona.”
