Harriet Walker’s Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves was so well-received in 1932 that the Players reprised it in 1940, this time directed by Tom Herbert. The music was arranged from original Arabian themes by Evelyn Sczuck and Patience Paschall and with lyrics by Patience Paschall.
“For the first time since the beginning of the Forest Theatre the Players did not have the invaluable aid of Bill Darling in the sets . . . . However, Norbert Schaal stepped into the breach and created settings which matched anything that had been done in the past.”
