Douglas Furber
Douglas Furber (13 May 1885 – 20 February 1961) was a British lyricist and playwright renowned for his contributions to musical theatre. He gained fame for writing the lyrics to the 1937 song "The Lambeth Walk" and the libretto for the musical "Me and My Girl," composed by Noel Gay. This musical made history in 1939 as the first full-length musical broadcast on television. Its 1986 revival achieved significant acclaim, earning nominations for Tony Awards for both Best Score and Best Book.

Furber began his songwriting career with composer A. Emmett Adams, co-writing the song "The Bells of St. Mary's" in 1917, which became a major hit in the United States. Another notable song was "Limehouse Blues," written with Philip Braham in 1924.

In addition to his songwriting, Furber also appeared on stage and contributed to several plays, including "Afgar" (1919), "Mr. Whittington" (1934), and "Running Riot" (1938–1939). His selected filmography includes titles such as "Lovers" (1927), "The Lucky Number" (1932), and "The Sky's the Limit" (1938).
