Description: This is a rare piece of sheet music for the song "IT'S NOBODY'S BUSINESS BUT MY OWN" introduced by BERT WILLIAMS in the 1919 Edition of the "ZIEGFELD MIDNIGHT FROLIC" atop the New Amsterdam Theatre in New York City. (The production opened October 2nd, 1919 and ran for 171 performances.) ..... The "ZIEGFELD MIDNIGHT FROLIC" was a late-night series that Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr. staged in the New Amsterdam's intimate rooftop theater, "Danse de Follies". It featured a glass runway that let the chorus girls parade over the audiences heads, wearing tasteful ankle-length linen bloomers. A genuine hit, Ziegfeld produced a fully revised edition each year, but Prohibition and changes in popular taste kept attendance down and made 1921 the last regular year for the Frolic. Ziegfeld would stage one further edition in 1928. (Wikipedia) ..... The 1919 edition featured BERT WILLIAMS, W. C. FIELDS, FANNY BRICE, ALLYN KING, TED LEWIS, CHARLES "CHIC" SALE, FRANCES WHITE and JANE GREENE of "GREENE and BLYLER" ..... CREDITS: Music and Lyrics by WILL E. SKIDMORE and MARSHALL WALKER; Staged by LEON ERROL; Produced by FLORENZ ZIEGFELD, Jr. ..... DETAILS: The four page piece of sheet music measures approx. 9 3/8" X 12 3/8" inches and is copyrighted 1919 by Skidmore Music Co., New York City .....
