Because the topic was so immediate, Witmark rushed it into production and promotion, It enjoyed short-lived but intense popularity, primarily in vaudeville; interest waned after March 1919, as enforcement of the Wartime Prohibition Act—effectively the first step to prohibition—approached. After July, with that act in place and total prohibition to come six months later, the song quickly receded from view."},{"label":"Historical Note","value":["This is the second variant of the second of three printings, distinguished only by front and back covers. Witmark also copyrighted an arrangement for voice and orchestra by George J. Trinkhaus on March 17, an arrangement for full orchestra by William Schultz on May 7, and an arrangement for band by T. M. Taylor on August 12.","Belle Baker introduced this song on February 10, 1919, over three weeks before copyright was registered. Promoted by a full-page advertisement in The New York Clipper February 19, by the end of the month it had been taken up by dozens of headliners, including Sophie Tucker, Eva Tanguay, and Ed Morton. Enthusiasm  continued through March, when Gus Edwards featured the song in his new revue, but it waned rapidly after the start of April. Witmark copyrighted mechanical rights on March 12, in anticipation of a March recording by Irving Kaufman (released by Aeolian Vocalion) at the start of May and an April Rythmodik piano roll played by Donald Makay."]},{"label":"Musical Note","value":"A typical novelty one- or two-step in 2/4, animated by pervasive mild syncopation and many chromatic inflections; a ritard and fermata at the climax, with an ossia high note at the end."},{"label":"Repository","value":"Sousa Archives and Center for American Music"},{"label":"Rights","value":"No Copyright - United States"},{"label":"Rights Description","value":"This item is in the public domain."},{"label":"Back Cover Description","value":"In a simple border, text and sample: My Rosary for You (© 1916 06 20)."},{"label":"Local Identifier","value":"2014_12996_053"},{"label":"Collection Title","value":"James Edward Myers World War I Sheet Music Collection"}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://images.digital.library.illinois.edu/iiif/2/937e7cc0-c565-0134-2373-0050569601ca-b/full/!256,256/0/default.jpg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://images.digital.library.illinois.edu/iiif/2/937e7cc0-c565-0134-2373-0050569601ca-b","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"service":[{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://images.digital.library.illinois.edu/iiif/2/937e7cc0-c565-0134-2373-0050569601ca-b","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}],"logo":"https://digital.library.illinois.edu/assets/Illinois-Logo-Reversed-Orange-RGB-100-4dc138603db54952c91732afd189efd828ba543796a2ab0f9a81afcf2b308b27.png","related":{"@id":"https://digital.library.illinois.edu/items/edc94170-c556-0134-2373-0050569601ca-4","format":"text/html"},"seeAlso":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.illinois.edu/items/edc94170-c556-0134-2373-0050569601ca-4.json","format":"application/json"},{"@id":"https://digital.library.illinois.edu/items/edc94170-c556-0134-2373-0050569601ca-4.atom","format":"application/atom+xml"}],"viewingDirection":"left-to-right","viewingHint":"paged","navDate":"1919-01-01T06:00:00Z","license":"https://rightsstatements.org/page/NoC-US/1.0/","attribution":"This item is in the public domain.","within":{"@id":"https://digital.library.illinois.edu/collections/692ae4c0-c09b-0134-2371-0050569601ca-6/iiif","format":"application/json"},"sequences":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.illinois.edu/items/edc94170-c556-0134-2373-0050569601ca-4/sequence/page","@type":"sc:Sequence","label":"Pages","viewingHint":"paged","canvases":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.illinois.edu/items/9628aa30-c565-0134-2373-0050569601ca-0/canvas/canvas1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"America Never Took Water - Cover","height":7557,"width":5552,"metadata":[{"label":"Title","value":"America Never Took Water - Cover"},{"label":"Composer","value":["Brennan, J.
