[3] The story concerns an engaged young lady, Yvonne Savigny, the daughter of old professor who loves riotous gaiety.
A young man has fallen in love with Yvonne and disguises himself as a servant in her father's house.
After various complications, Yvonne leaves her silly fiancé for the amorous suitor and all ends happily.
Yvonne was first played in the British provinces before premiering at Daly's Theatre, London, in May 1926, directed by Herbert Mason and produced by the company originally created by impresario George Edwardes.
Other cast members included Maria Minetti, who played the music hall star; Mark Lester as Professor Savigny, Horace Percival and later Gene Gerrard as the hapless fiancé, and American dancer Hal Sherman as a comic waiter and gardener.
