[edit] Dubious assertion

This source claims that it's the first professional production since the 19th century. This source says it was in the repetory until about 1930. The second source is Crowther, and I'm inclined to trust him more than advertising copy, particularly one that also claims to be the first professional The Zoo, which I find hard to believe given 47 years and it being recorded here.

Good catch. The assertion about The Zoo is correct, however, according to Stephen Turnbull, who makes it his business to know such things. I will fix the assertion about Sweethearts. -- Ssilvers 00:09, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Ah, Aye, I see: America vs. Britain for The Zoo, which is fair enough. Adam Cuerden talk 00:48, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
