''The French Maid'' is a musical comedy in two acts by Basil Hood, with music by Walter Slaughter, first produced at the Theatre Royal, Bath, England, under the management of Milton Bode on 4 April 1896. It then opened London's Terry's Theatre under the management of W. H. Griffiths beginning on 24 April 1897, but later transferred to the Vaudeville Theatre on 12 February 1898, running for a very successful total of 480 London performances. The piece starred Louie Pounds, Kate Cutler, Eric Lewis, Herbert Standing and Richard Green. There was a New York production in 1897. ''The Times'' gave the piece a very favourable review at its London opening, saying that "a fresher, brighter piece has not been seen for many a day."〔"Terry's Theatre", ''The Times'', 26 April 1897, p. 13〕 ==Roles and original London cast== *Admiral Sir Hercules Hawser - H.
