Lord Piccolo

Lord Piccolo is an operetta in two acts with music by Henri Berény and a German-language libretto by Rudolph Schanzer & Carl Lindau.

Frustrated at his failure and desiring to fulfill his contract with the Earl of Goberdeen, Dupont convinces Daisy to go to Scotland and pretend to be her brother.

Matters are further complicated for Daisy by the arrival of her lover Gaston, the Marquis de la Tour, who has followed her from Paris, and may reveal her identity.

He hired playwrights Albert Ellsworth Thomas (1873–1947) and Edward A. Paulton (1866–1939) to adapt the libretto by Shanzer and Lindau into English; ultimately resulting in the operetta being retitled Little Boy Blue.

Others in the cast included John Dunsmure as The Earl of Goberdeen, Otis Harlan as Dupont, Charles Meakins as Gaston, and Maude Odell as Amaranth.
