Notes
-
Although no details regarding the storyline have been located, Slavin's revusical may have been influenced by W. B. Brown's revue Winning Tatts (1917), which is also possibly based on the 1911 Australian silent movie, A Ticket in Tatts. Directed by Gaston Mervale (from a screenplay by P. W. Marony) for the Australian Life Biograph Company, A Ticket in Tatts tells of a penniless and unemployed wastrel who wins a lottery and spends his fortune on alcohol and race-track gambling. There is no relationship between the Mervale film and F. W. Thring's 1934 film A Ticket in Tatts, starring George Wallace.
