The Arcadians by Mark Ambient and Alexander M Thompson
The Arcadians, a musical comedy by Mark Ambient and Alexander M Thompson, with lyrics by Arthur Wimperis and music by Lionel Monckton and Howard Talbot. First produced at the Shaftesbury Theatre, London, April 1909. The comic Arcadian, Doody, has just been thrown and savaged by the racehorse, The Deuce (Act II). Doody's injuries prevent him from riding in the race, but as the Arcadians are able to talk to animals in their language, Smith/Simplicitas is able to take over and ride The Deuce to victory
