Adaptations were not common back then. But even a few shows that
one would think were originals were based on earlier works, usually
farces.

And novels were drawn on as well.

A partial list of adapted musicals from the 1910s. 1920s, and 1930s:

Peggy-Ann
Hello, Lola!
Chee-Chee
Hit the Deck
Through the Years

and all from Jerome Kern:
Very Good Eddie
Leave it to Jane
Toot-Toot!
Rock-a-Bye Baby
The Night Boat
The City Chap
Roberta
