Tip‐Toes (1925), a musical comedy by Guy Bolton, Fred Thompson (book), George Gershwin (music), Ira Gershwin (lyrics). [Liberty Theatre, 194 perf.] When Al ( Andrew Tombes) and Hen Kaye ( Harry Watson Jr.) of the vaudeville act The Three K's are stranded in Palm Beach with the girl in their act, Tip‐Toes ( Queenie Smith), they wangle some money and set Tip‐Toes up in local society, where she is wooed and won by a handsome young glue magnate, Steve Burton ( Allen Kearns). Notable songs: Looking for a Boy; Sweet and Low‐Down; That Certain Feeling; These Charming People; When Do We Dance? Although Ira Gershwin was later to claim this was the first show in which he honed his skills as a lyricist, Alexander Woollcott concluded, “It was of course [George] Gershwin's evening, so sweet and sassy were the melodies . . . so fresh and unstinted the gay, young blood of his invention.”
