It is 1885 and Horace, a press photographer, is fired when he bungles the covering of the Statue of Liberty ceremonies. At his girlfriend Maisie's urging, he goes to Paris in pursuit of the ultimate scoop, the model who posed for the statue. When he finds her in sculptor Bartholdi's studio, Maisie sets about persuading the paper which sacked Horace to fund a US tour for the model. What Horace doesn't realise is that he has the wrong girl, and what Maisie doesn't know is that Horace has fallen in love with the model! Some heartfelt complications ensue but a happy ending is inevitable when the statue is dedicated in a rousing finale that only Irving Berlin could have written. Music and lyrics by Irving Berlin. Imperial Theatre, Broadway 15 July, 1949.
