Comments
Broadway musical with a book and lyrics by Harold R. Atteridge and music by Sigmund Romberg. It opened in October 1921 at the Jolson Theatre, where it ran for 219 performances. The cast included Al Jolson and Janet Adair. The musical has a thin story designed to showcase Al Jolson, who was at the height of his popularity. Songs were added by several composers during the run of the show so that, by the end of the run, there were more songs by composers other than Romberg than by him. The success of the musical on Broadway led to a national tour.
Toot, Toot, Tootsie (Goo' Bye) was included later on in Bombo [1922] .
