Choubrac's Orient-inspired advertisement for the performance of "Miss Robinson" at Paris's Theatre des Folies Dramatiques playfully synthesizes the escapades of a woman (Eva) in search of her man (Robinson Crusoe). He does offer his hand to his admirer, but upon returning dressed as a marquis, Eva does not want him—she wants the exotic. Thus Robinson returns to the Indies, tantalizing the woman into a love affair goose chase. "Miss Robinson" was performed in three acts, with libretto by Paul Ferrier and music by Louis Varney. Choubrac's imagining of this alluring world and its quixotic heroine is enticing to us, as well.
