- From Zip! Goes a Million (1919), Jerome Kern's only musical comedy to close during its tryout runs. "Whip-Po-Will", one of the show's songs, did however - retitled as "Whip-Poor-Will" - find its way into the score of the 1920 musical comedy Sally sung by the characters Mme. Nookerova and Blair Farquar.
