CONDITION: VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS only hint of greying some rubs, plays E minus very quiet The first American production opened on 21 October 1907 at the New Amsterdam Theatre on Broadway for another very successful run of 416 performances, and was reproduced by multiple touring companies across the US, all using the Hood/Ross libretto.

Since then, it has been staged frequently in English.John Scantlebury Macdonald (May 30, 1871 – September 26, 1931) was a Canadian-Irish-Scottish singer and recording executive. Under the pseudonym Harry Macdonough, he was one of the most prolific and popular tenors during the formative years of the recording industry. Based upon the ledgers of the four major record companies of the early twentieth century (Edison, Victor, Columbia and Brunswick), which are accessible online through the Discography of American Historical Recordings (DAHR), some of his most popular recordings included “Shine On, Harvest Moon” (with Elise Stevenson), “Down By The Old Mill Stream”, “They Didn’t Believe Me” (with Olive Kline), “Tell Me, Pretty Maiden” (with Grace Spencer), and “Where The River Shannon Flows”.Music careerMacdonald was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.[1] His earliest recorded performances were for the Michigan Electric Company in Detroit, which made phonograph cylinders for penny arcades.[2] He caught the attention of Edison Records with a demo recording he made in October 1898, and began recording for Edison in the Haydn Quartet.[3] From 1899 until his retirement in 1920, he recorded hundreds of songs both as a soloist and in ensembles.[4]One of Macdonald's lesser-known performances is for performing "Tessie", then billed as "Tessie (You Are the Only Only Only)" from the Broadway musical The Silver Slipper in 1903, becoming a rallying cry for the Boston Red Sox until 1918 and starting again in 2004 during the World Series.[5][6][7]During the 1900s Macdonald took a job with the Victor Talking Machine Company, becoming assistant manager and later manager of its New York City studio.[8] As studio manager he oversaw the studio schedule, as well as negotiating contracts with artists and music publishers.[9] In October 1913 he recorded a duet with the American singer Marguerite Dunlap of "When It's Apple Blossom Time in Normandy".[10] Macdonald rose rapidly at Victor, becoming its national sales manager in 1920 and manager of artists and repertoire in 1923.[9] He moved to Columbia Records in 1925 and oversaw the technical development of its studios until his death.[11]7 More Great Records on sale right now: CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE MORE GREAT RECORDS CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE ALL ITEMS - VINTAGE BOOKS, VICTROLA and TURNTABLE ITEMS, CDs, Books and DVDs http://shop.ebay.com/carsten_sf/m.html ==== A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING: As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

Quick note on grading: The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise."EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET" is close to noiseless, like a vinyl pressing."VERY QUIET" is an above average quiet record for a given pressing."Quiet" is a record that is a great example with some noise. These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment. Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.
