Bill Snibson (Lupino Lane), a bookmaker, joins an anti-gambling organisation in a fit of guilt.
It ran for other four hundred performances at the Coliseum Theatre in the West End.
Combined with provincial tours it ran for over a thousand shows.
The lead character of Bill Snibson was such a success, that he was revived in 1937 for another musical Me and My Girl.
This proved to be an even greater hit with its well-known song "The Lambeth Walk".
