 | | Today, alas, nothing remains of The Rogue Song save a three-minute comedy sequence featuring Laurel and Hardy; the rest, as was the case with hundreds of pictures of that era made with perishable nitrate film, was not preserved. |
 | | Fortunately, we do have recordings of the songs, especially the meltingly lyrical When I'm Looking At You, which was played in theatres across the country as a trailer for the film itself. |
 | | Glory Road and other songs of that genre have long since fallen out of favour, but to hear Tibbett's performance of it is even today a thrilling experience: nostalgic to those old enough to have heard him sing it in person, ear-opening to listeners of a younger generation. |
