David Warfield in The Music Master

The Music Master was a theatrical play written by Charles Klein, and produced and directed by David Belasco. The three-act comedy-drama opened at the Belasco Theatre in New York on September 26, 1904.[1] It ran for 124 performances before it was moved to the Bijou Theatre[2] where it ran for another 511 performances over that and the next two seasons (taking summers off), before going on tour.[3] David Warfield originated the title role, Anton Von Barwig,[4] and continued playing it in revivals and on tour for two decades. William Furst composed the play's incidental music.[5]
