Poor Little Ritz Girl is a musical comedy in two acts, with book by George Campbell and Lew Fields.

The cast headlined Charles Purcell and Andrew Tombes, and included Eugenie Blair, Ruth Hale, Eleanor Griffith, Lulu McConnell, Aileen Poe, and Florence Webber.

[2] Several songs in Poor Little Ritz Girl were recycled from Fly With Me, which Rodgers and Hart had written for the Varsity Show earlier that year, including "You Can't Fool Your Dreams", "Love's Intense in the Tents", and "Mary Queen of Scots".

[3] Set in New York City, the plot revolves around Annie “Sweetie” Farrell (Florence Webber), an honest but poor chorus girl who rented a furnished apartment on Riverside Drive during the run of a musical in which she was appearing.

Late one night she learns that the apartment belongs to a rich young bachelor named William Pembroke (Charles Purcell), who had not given anyone permission to rent it.
