 Ziegfeld 101 - The Follies - Part 1
An otherwise forgettable score featured Nora Bayes singing her great hit "Shine On Harvest Moon." The Ziegfeld girls were the main attraction, appearing as curvaceous New Jersey mosquitoes (wings and all) commuting through the then-unfinished Holland Tunnel.
Notes: Nora Bayes returned, singing her latest hit, "By the Light of the Silvery Moon." When newcomer Sophie Tucker proved a hit on the pre-Broadway tour, a jealous Bayes demanded Tucker be dismissed.
When Bayes left early in the Broadway run, Ziegfeld brought in the dynamic vaudeville star Eva Tanguay – who was such a hit that she had to be given top billing.

 Catalogue » Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth: Together and Alone
Act 1 begins with the "Together" period of Bayes and Norworth, who billed themselves as "America's Happiest Couple." They were married in 1908, when each was already a big hit in vaudeville.
Nora took another break from recording just as 1914 was ending, and now Jack Norworth, equally a star attraction in vaudeville, left for a sustained period in England.
Bayes returned to recording in 1916 with a great number, "Homesickness Blues." Her songs were now featured on double-sided discs, so the flipside was "The Greatest Battle Song of All," a comic war song in which "Here Comes the Bride" is the greatest battle song, beating out all other nationalist anthems.
