The Candy Shop

Produced by Charles Dillingham, the production was directed by William E. MacQuinn and staged by Fred G. Latham; scenic design by Homer Emens and John H. Young, with costumes designed by Elsie DeWolfe.

[2] The cast featured Ida Adams, Maude Fulton and William Rock[3] (a vaudeville duo then known as Rock & Fulton) and received mixed [4] to positive reviews, with one paper describing the show as "a stage reproduction of a Coney Island scene a thing of vivid color, life, and comics.

"[5] After closing, a condensed version of the show was performed at Bay State Hospital in Boston for a wealthy patient.

[9] The musical also features a song that employs negative stereotypes of Chinese people, part of an offensive yet persistent "enthusiasm for Chinese-themed entertainments, especially during the first two decades of the twentieth century".

[10] The story features the adventures of Jack Sweet, son of a candy shop owner, after his father accuses him of theft.
