Ernst Steffan ( 1890 -1967 ) was an Austrian composer, librettist and conductor born in Vienna in 1890. He studied piano with Robert Fischhof and composition with Hans Thornton at the Vienna Music Academy . The young music student's favorite composer was Johannes Brahms . In his early compositions, in which he sought exclusively to write "serious music," he emulated him, not without success; indeed, these works belong to Brahms's expressive world . But things turned out quite differently: Steffan's successful career was to become operetta . In 1914, his first work, Betty , which he wrote in collaboration with Paul A. Rubens, premiered at Daly's Theatre in London
================
Gerard, the Earl of Beverley, a philanderer, has pushed his father, The Duke of Crowborough, to the limit. The Duke storms into his son's home demanding that the younger man settle down with a wife and take on some responsibility. The young Earl, drunk and embarrassed in front of his friends, proposes to Betty, a kitchen maid, to spite his father. Gerard has no intention of following his father's wishes and makes plans to send Betty away and to continue with his profligate lifestyle. But the Duke is a step ahead of his son: He gives Gerard's allowance to his wife, Betty, so that Gerard must depend upon her. The charming Betty manages to become accepted by the society into which she has married and eventually charms her way into the heart of her wayward husband. He returns to her of his own accord and they find happiness.
Betty is an Edwardian musical comedy in three acts, with a book by Frederick Lonsdale and Gladys Unger, music by Paul Rubens and Ernest Steffan, and lyrics by Adrian Ross and Rubens.
