About The Defender
The Defender is a musical in three acts with music by Charles Dennée and both book and lyrics by Allen Lowe. It is best remembered for introducing the popular standard "In the Good Old Summer Time"; a song which was performed in the production by Blanche Ring who made her Broadway debut in this show. Set in Newport, Rhode Island and on the yacht "Hibernia" while at sea, the musical's story focused on the rivalry between an American yachtsman and English yachtsman who are both attempting to win an international yachting competition. Its plot was loosely based on the life of American businessman and yachtsman Thomas W. Lawson.
