Musical, Early

They did't believe me — ["Kern, Jerome, 1885-1945 composer"]

The show was the first musical hit on Broadway following the outbreak of World War I. With its appealing Kern additions (it was the composer’s sixth of 39 Broadway shows), the production was a transitional work leading to the soon-to-come American domination of the musical-comedy field.

Music: Jerome Kern, etc.
