The Crinoline Girl is a 1914 musical comedy written by Julian Eltinge, Otto Hauerbach, and Percy Wenrich.

The thieves are operating from the Hotel de Beau Rivage in Lausanne, Switzerland, where the Ainsleys are also staying.

[3] The Brooklyn Daily Eagle praised Eltinge, Corthell and the rest of the cast for "a really good farce", although the reviewer said it was not really a musical since there were only three songs.

[4] The Theatre magazine complimented Eltinge for incorporating his female impersonation into a meaningful plot that justified it, calling the result "exceedingly diverting".

[6] Theater historian Gerald Bordman attributed the play's limited success primarily to Eltinge.
