The Blackstone Theatre in Chicago, Illinois presents The Chocolate Soldier for the week beginning November 2, 1947. The show starred Keith Andes, Ruth Gillette, Kaye Connor, Henry Calvin, Doretta Morrow, Donald Clarke, Jack Gansert, Barbara Heath, Lillian Lanese and Billy Gilbert. (See the pages below for more information on the actors.)
Al ittle information:
The Chocolate Soldier (German title: Der tapfere Soldat or Der PralinĂ©-Soldat) is an operetta composed in 1908 by Oscar Straus (1870–1954) based on George Bernard Shaw's 1894 play, Arms and the Man. The German language libretto was by Rudolf Bernauer and Leopold Jacobson.
I am not sure how long the play ran at the Blackstone. Unfortunately, that information seems to be lost to the ages.
