'''''Me and My Girl''''' is a [[musical play|musical]] with book and lyrics by [[Douglas Furber]] and [[L. Arthur Rose]] and music by [[Noel Gay]]. It takes place in the late 1930s in [[Hampshire]], [[Mayfair]], and [[Lambeth]].
There are several different types of inhalers. The most common is the pressurized [[metered-dose inhaler]] (''MDI''). In MDIs, medication is most commonly stored in solution in a pressurized canister that contains a propellant, although it may also be a suspension<ref>''Pharmaceutical Inhalation Aerosol Technology'', ed. A. J. Hickey, 2nd edition, Marcel Dekker, NY, 2004.</ref>. The MDI canister is attached to a plastic, hand-operated actuator. On activation, the [[metered-dose inhaler]] releases a fixed dose of medication in [[Aerosol spray|aerosol]] form. The correct procedure for using an MDI is to first fully exhale, place the mouth-piece end of the pump into the mouth, and having just started to inhale at a moderate rate, depress the canister to release the medicine. The aerosolized medication is drawn into the lungs by continuing to inhale deeply before holding the breath for 10 seconds to allow the aerosol to settle onto the walls of the [[bronchus|bronchial]] and other airways of the lung.


The musical had a successful original run on the [[West End theatre|West End]] in 1937 and very successful revivals in both London and New York in the 1980s. The show stopper, "[[The Lambeth Walk]]", was the subject of a news story in ''[[The Times]]'' of October 1938: "While dictators rage and statesmen talk, all Europe dances - to The Lambeth Walk."
To reduce deposition in the mouth and throat, and to reduce the need for precise synchronization of the start of inhalation with actuation of the device, MDIs are sometimes used with a complementary [[Asthma spacer|spacer]] or holding chamber device<sup>1</sup>.


==Production history==
Besides the MDI, other types of inhalers<sup>1</sup> include [[dry powder inhaler]]s (DPIs), which release a dose of medicine as a powder aerosol that is inhaled by the patient, and [[nebulizer]]s, which instead supply the aerosol as a mist created from an aqueous formulation.
It originally opened at the [[West End theatre|West End]] [[Victoria Palace Theatre]] on December 16, 1937, and starred [[Lupino Lane]]. At first attracting little notice, the production gained immediate success after a matinee performance was broadcast live on [[BBC]] radio, following the cancellation of a sporting event. On May 1, 1939, a performance was televised from the theatre, one of the first times such was done. The original West End production ran for 1646 performances.


A film version was produced in 1940, titled ''The Lambeth Walk''.<ref>{{imdb title|id=0032688|title=The Lambeth Walk (1940)}}</ref>
The largest manufacturers of inhalers are [[GlaxoSmithKline]] (makers of the Advair Discus (a [[Dry powder inhaler|DPI]])), [[Merck & Co.|Merck]], [[AstraZeneca]] (makers of Pulmicort and Symbicort) and [[Boehringer-Ingelheim]] (makers of Atrovent, Combivent, and Spiriva). BI, GSK, Merck, and AstraZeneca manufacture the medication being delivered via inhaler. However, 3M Drug Delivery Systems does some of the finished product manufacturing, as they are one of the leaders of MDI canisters, metering valves and other components.


It was revived in 1952. In 1984, a revised production opened at the Leicester Haymarket Theatre with a revised script by [[Stephen Fry]] and contributions by Mike Ockrent. It transferred to the West End [[Adelphi Theatre]] on Feb. 12, 1985 and closed on Jan. 16, 1993 after an eight year run. The production won two [[Olivier Awards]]: [[Robert Lindsay]] (Bill) for Outstanding Performance of the Year by an Actor in a Musical and Musical of the Year.<ref>[http://www.thisistheatre.com/shows/adelphi48.html Adelphi Theatre listing]</ref><ref>[http://www.officiallondontheatre.co.uk/olivier_awards/view/item98520/Olivier-Winners-1985/ Olivier Awards listing]</ref> The production subsequently toured throughout Britain.

In the 1930s, the Harefords, a family of haughty aristocrats, are seeking the legitimate heir to the title of Earl of Hareford. Bill Snibson, a [[Cockney]] from Lambeth is found and named as the long-lost "Earl of Hareford". It seems that the 13th Earl had secretly and briefly wed a girl from a bad neighborhood. But Bill's rough Cockney ways do not satisfy the Will of the last Earl: In order to gain his inheritance of the title and estate, Bill must satisfy the very proper executors (Maria, Duchess of Dene, and Sir John Tremayne) by learning gentlemanly manners. The Duchess thinks that she can make Bill "fit and proper", but not his Cockney girlfriend, Sally Smith. The Duchess plans a party in Bill's honor, but Sally is not to be invited. Sir John tells Sally that she and Bill ought to return to Lambeth, but he is moved by Sally's heartfelt declaration of love for Bill.
