One must turn back the pages OF
theatrical history through many vol
umes to arrive at the distant period
when Illustrated songs enjoyed Inn
mense popular favor. One of the
first performers to make use OF this
stereoscopic medium of telling the
story of a song was Joseph Z. How
ard, then a youthful and dashingly
handsome chap with glorious voice.
and he captivated his audiences every
where. Howard was the first vaude-
vile artist to introduce illustrated
songs into a dramatic sketch, and
did so most effectively. No sooner
had the motion pictures made their
appearance than Howard Illustrated
his songs with these-again the first
in this field. Then he began writing
his own songs, with signal success.
until his fame as a. composer Of
popular melodies was nationwide. !
His first score for a complete mu-
sical play was given to the stage about
fifteen years ago. and since that time
Howard has provided the musical set
tings for almost a score of popular
and for the most part successful
musical comedies. If asked to name
that in which his best numbers we're
sung he would probably say "The
Time, the Place and the Girl" al
though The District Leader, and
THE Flower OF the Ranch. NUM-
bered some of his most popular songs.
