The Beauty of Bath is a musical comedy with a book by Seymour Hicks and Cosmo Hamilton, lyrics by C. H. Taylor and music by Herbert Haines; additional songs were provided by Jerome Kern (lyrics and music), F. Clifford Harris (lyrics) and P. G. Wodehouse (lyrics). Based loosely on the play David Garrick,[1] the story concerns a young woman from a noble family, who falls in love with an actor.

Her father objects to a marriage with the actor, but when it turns out that she really loves the sailor, all objections fall away.
