Artist/Maker
Place of origin

Sheet music for a selection of songs from the revue Bubbly selected and arranged by Henri Jaxon and composed by Philip Braham, published by Ascherberg, Hopwood & Crew Ltd, London ca. 1917.

This music sheet is for ‘Bubbles’, a piano solo arrangement of songs from the popular revue Bubbly. It includes the songs: 'We'll have a little Cottage', 'Reckless Reggie', and 'She'd a Hole in her Stocking'. Bubbly opened at the Comedy Theatre in May 1917 and featured twelve sketches, or 'Bubbles', as they were billed. The public loved the light and frothy mixture of songs and sketches which were a much-needed antidote to the gloomy news about World War 1. The cast included the 25-year old Jack Hulbert, who went on to become a star of musical comedy. Bubbly was produced by André Charlot, the Frenchman who was one of the most prolific 20th century West End producers. He became famous for his series of intimate revues, some co-produced by the great showman C.B.Cochran.
