The cast included singer Adelaide Hall, who came from the Miller and Lyles Broadway production Runnin' Wild, The Three Eddies, Rufus Greenlee and Thaddeus Drayton, Bobbie and Babe Goins, Charles Davis and Sam Wooding and his Orchestra. Russian-born Jewish American impresario Arthur Seymour Lyons[5] (1895–1964) staged an adaptation and, for several weeks prior to departure, rehearsed the company at Bryant Hall.[6] Before settling on the name Chocolate Kiddies, the show had been billed as the Club Alabam Revue and Club Alabam Fantasies.[Note 1]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-412.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-412.txt
