  Otto Harbach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He was born in Salt Lake City, Utah to Danish immigrant parents Adolph Hauerbach and his wife Sena Olsen, and attended the Salt Lake Collegiate Institute, transferring to Knox College, in Galesburg, Iowa, where he was a friend of Carl Sandburg, and graduated in 1895.
Harbach, an inductee of the Songwriter's Hall of Fame, passed away in New York City.

It was while working as a young advertising executive that Harbach met composer Karl Hoschna and the two began collaborating on songs for vaudeville and minstrel acts.
While several of the Broadway shows Harbach worked on were made into Hollywood Musicals, the lyricist never moved to Hollywood for the studio incarnations, as did so many of his counterparts.
Otto A. Harbach died in New York City on January 24, 1963.

Alan Jay Lerner called Harbach "The most unappreciated and yet one of the most influential lyric writers of the first third of the Twentieth century...
He began to contribute songs to other musicals (a common practice at the time, and the way many lyricists and composers began their careers), and eventually worked his way up to writing and co-writing the complete lyrics and librettos for many operettas and musicals.
In 1920 Harbach took the young Oscar Hammerstein II under his wing (Hammerstein would eventually do the same for Stephen Sondheim), and together they wrote several operettas, including The Desert Song.

The man is Otto Harbach, lyricist for such songs as 'Rose Marie,' 'Gianina Mia.' 'Indian Love Call,' 'Who,' 'Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,' and 'Cuddle Up a Little Closer.' He was born in Salt Lake City between H and I streets on Third Avenue 84 years ago.
His father owned a jewelry store and Otto was raised in a little two-room adobe house on I street, (272 Second Avenue).
Otto stated: "Sooner or later in my young life came the question of school, and so when I was eight years old, I took my 'shining morning face' down the road to the Collegiate Institute of Salt Lake City, which in reality was merely a combination grade and high school.

 The Film Tribune - Rose-Marie (1936)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The 1936 film was afterwards also occasionally titled "Indian Love Call" for its re-release on television, to avoid confusion with the 1954 version, which is generally considered inferior.
The musical "Rose-Marie", more rightly called an operetta, was composed by Rudolf Friml and Herbert Stothart, with a book and lyrics by Otto A. Harbach and Oscar Hammerstein II, premiered on Broadway on September 2, 1924, and lasted for 557 performances in its initial run.
However, while the films of MacDonald and Eddy would perform phenomenally at the box-office during the 1930's, the style of their vehicles -- operatic, superficial, stilted, melodramatic, overly innocent and naive as it is -- would lose its appeal with the advent of the Second World War, and would become subjected to criticism and parody.

Although technically a remake, this film differs greatly both from the original operetta (by Otto Harbach, Oscar Hammerstein II, Rudolf Friml, and Herbert Stothart) and from the 1936 Eddy-MacDonald film based on the operetta (see above).
The first musical to be shot in color and CinemaScope, it uses the big screen to good advantage, making the most of its Canadian Rocky Mountain locations, but when one's eyes stray from the mountains to the people in front of them, the film is in trouble.
Tunes from the original score include: "Rose Marie" (Rudolf Friml, Otto Harbach, Oscar Hammerstein II, sung by Keel), "Indian Love Call" (Friml, Harbach, Hammerstein II, sung by Keel, Blyth), "Totem Tom Tom" (Friml, Harbach, Hammerstein II, Herbert Stothart, sung by chorus), "The Mounties" (Friml, Harbach, Hammerstein II, Stothart, sung by Keel, chorus).
