He remembered the time he bet his shirt against a lady's blouse-and won. "She took off her blouse right in the public bar," he said. "She was a sport, she was."

Unlike the usual musicomedy plot, this one is never for a moment let out of the audience's sight, is even shoved into two boring Antony Tudor ballets.
