[78-L] Sophie wannabe

[David Lennick]

Incidentally, Sophie Tucker was NOT singing "Some of These Days" in 1920. She'd 
introduced it in 1911 and once it became popular and overexposed, she dropped 
it and didn't pick it up again for twelve years, according to the notes in the 
Archeophone CD.  I also wonder whether Sophie was "working blue" in 1920. 1950, 
yes, but the gags in last night's routine would have gotten the place shut down 
in 1920.
