Fascination, 1922
Scope and Contents note
This sub-series consists of sheet music for songs performed by Julian Eltinge in his theatrical performances and in vaudeville. The majority of the songs are associated with Eltinge’s three greatest theatrical successes, the musical comedies The Fascinating Widow (1911), The Crinoline Girl (1914), and Cousin Lucy (1915). The range of copyright dates for songs Eltinge performed in The Fascinating Widow (ranging from 1909 to 1913) and Cousin Lucy (from 1915 to 1917), suggests both that the works utilized songs not written specifically for them and that new songs were substituted from time to time, possibly to "freshen" the works and to entice repeated attendance. Eltinge himself contributed lyrics to songs for The Fascinating Widow (1912 and 1913) and The Crinoline Girl.
