 He was responsible for successful theater shows including "Broadway Rastus" (1921), "Liza" (1922), "Dinah" (1923), which introduced the wildly popular black bottom dance, and "Desires of 1927" starring Adelaide Hall.
 For thirty years he directed the popular review, "Brown Skin Models", influenced by the "Ziegfeld Follies" but exclusively using black performers.
 "In the 1920s and 1930s, he was arguably the most well-established and successful producer of black musical comedy."

Sally is a musical comedy with music by Jerome Kern, lyrics by Clifford Grey and book by Guy Bolton (inspired by the 19th century show, "Sally in our Alley"), with additional lyrics by Buddy De Sylva, Anne Caldwell and P. G. Wodehouse.
 The plot hinges on a mistaken-identity: Sally, a waif, is a dishwasher at the Alley Inn.
 She poses as a famous foreign ballerina and rises to fame (and finds love) through joining the Ziegfeld Follies.
 There is a rags to riches story, a ballet as a centrepiece, and a wedding as a finale.
 "Look for the Silver Lining" continues to be one of Kern's most familiar songs.
 The song is lampooned by another song, "Look for a Sky of Blue," in Rick Besoyan's satirical 1959 musical "Little Mary Sunshine".
