Historical Note
  • This is the fourth variant of the third printing. Feist’s usual practice was to deposit a first printing, for copyright only, that had identical music but with a front cover containing only text and a back cover that was blank. The printings are distinguished by their front covers; the variants are distinguished and ordered by their back covers. This variant postdates June 23, 1918, based on the back cover. The Saturday Evening Post advertisement cited on the back cover appeared on June 22, 1918.
  • The Passing Show of 1917 opened at the Winter Garden Theatre, New York, on April 26, 1917, closing on October 13.
Dedication
