		Fifty Million Frenchmen achieved a run of 254 performances on Broadway and was filmed twice, first in 1931 as a nonmusical feature and again in 1934 as a musical two-reeler starring Bob Hope.
		Yet possibly because of the size of the original production (in addition to its twenty-three speaking roles, there were seventy-five in the chorus—plus several specialty acts), the show was never acquired by a theatrical rental library to be made available to stock and amateur companies.
		Through the years, most of the original Fifty Million Frenchmen materials were thought lost —until the orchestrations surfaced in 1987 at the Tarns-Witmark Music Library in New York City.

		"Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong." Some may use this adage seriously, but to others it is a sarcastic way of saying that truth cannot be decided by majority vote—a point driven home by Paul in Romans 3:4, "Let God be found true, though every man be found a liar."
		Historically, those associated with the conservative branches of the Restoration Movement have enthusiastically accepted Paul's admonition, being content to hold on to certain theological convictions, even if they perceived themselves to be in the minority.
		If evangelicals agree that baptism is simply the new Christian's obedient expression of or witness to his new status as a member of the body of Christ, then there must be something wrong with the "minority" view that baptism is the point of time when God gives salvation.

		In the case of "Fifty Million Frenchmen," this means unearthing a glittering Cole Porter score (the story is the flimsiest boy-meets-girl stuff, which gets most of its interest from the fact that these rich American boys and girls are doing their thing in colorful Paris).
		The Lost Musicals staging is the very barest of staged readings: a single grand piano, tuxedoes for the gents and fl and white finery for the ladies.
		But twith Porter’s gorgeous melodies and crackling lyrics, Feild’s snappy wit, and an embarassingly talented cast, "Fifty Million Frenchmen" is opulently entertaining.
