808 GEDDES FIGURES IN A ZIEGFELD JOKE
The “American Billboard,” a theatrical journal, contains an amusing reference to Bob Geddes's recent lawsuit against Guy Bolton. “A message from Mr. Ziegfeld for Mr. Bolton,” announced Guy Bolton’s servant on the morning of the opening date of “Simple Simon,” the Ziegfeld show, in New York. “Come right in,” answered Bolton. The page entered and handed Bolton a bound paper which resembled a manuscript, and was duly thanked by Bolton and bowed out. Bolton discovered the message was no other than Robert Geddes’s notice of application for judgment against him. Geddes, who is an Aucklander and a former member of the Auckland Operatic Society, won a verdict against Bolton some time ago for £560 for breach of contract.
