Nippy, The Musical
In 1930, the nippy concept was adapted into a hit musical comedy for the stage called Nippy. Popular actress Binnie Hale played the nippy in question. The show was written by Arthur Wimperis and Austin Melford, Billy Mayerl wrote the music and Arthur Wimperis and Frank Eyton the lyrics. Several records were released with songs from the musical, such as the title song and the lively "The Toy Town Party" sung in the show by Binnie Hale. Another of Mayerl's lesser known but attractive melodies from the show was "It must be you".
