The primary item was part of the collection of Henry J. Hauschild Jr., who billed himself as a “Physiognomist – Bibliopolist – Cognoscente di Eccellentissimo”, and was the very proud owner of the world famous "Nose Gallery” at “The Oldest House” in Victoria, Texas. Henry Senior founded the Hauschild Music Company which was later owned by his 8 children and eventually the four brothers before being closed in 1980; After the Opera House Restaurant failed, the space became the Bible Book Store and later Opera House Antiques; This item was part of the leftover inventory of the Music Store and at one time was on consignment at the Bible Book Store;

"Musicologist and historian, Delmer Rogers, longtime member of the staff of the Department of Music at the University of Texas, is of the opinion that the Hauschild Music Company, founded in Victoria, Texas in 1891, was the second oldest institution to commercially publish sheet music in Texas. (Thos. Goggan of Houston being the first.) Also, his extensive research indicates that Hauschild's was the first in Texas to issues music with Spanish titles. About thirty were published, many by talented writers, and sold in large numbers. In addition, probing seems to prove that Hauschilds was the first to publish the efforts of several of the music-loving Germans of the area. Most interesting, too, is that the spritely composition, the Cowboy Rag offered in 1904 possibly was the purcursor of this genre of popular music." taken from "The Cognoscenti Collections";

HISTORICAL NOTE: ""The Boulevard of Broken Dreams" was a 1934 hit song by Al Dubin (words) & Harry Warren (music), set in Paris.

HISTORICAL NOTE: "Harry Warren (December 24, 1893 – September 22, 1981) was an American composer & lyricist. Warren was the 1st major American songwriter to write primarily for film. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song eleven times & won three Oscars for composing "Lullaby of Broadway", "You'll Never Know" & "On the Atchison, Topeka & the Santa Fe". He wrote the music for the 1st blockbuster film musical, 42nd Street, directed & choreographed by Busby Berkeley, with whom he would collaborate on many musical films. Over a career spanning four decades, Warren wrote over 800 songs. Other well-known Warren hits included "I Only Have Eyes for You", "You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby", "Jeepers Creepers", "The Gold Diggers' Song (We're in the Money)", "That's Amore", "The More I See You", "At Last" & "Chattanooga Choo Choo" (the last of which was the 1st gold record in history). One of America's most prolific film composers, Warren's songs have been featured in over 300 films. Warren was born Salvatore Antonio Guaragna, one of eleven children of Italian immigrants Antonio (a bootmaker) & Rachel De Luca Guaragna, & grew up in Brooklyn, New York. His father changed the family name to Warren when Harry was a child. Although his parents could not afford music lessons, Warren had an early interest in music & taught himself to play his father's accordion. He also sang in the church choir & learned to play the drums. He began to play the drums professionally by age 14 & dropped out of high school at 16 to play with his godfather's band in a traveling carnival. Soon he taught himself to play piano & by 1915, he was working at the Vitagraph Motion Picture Studios, where he did a variety of administrative jobs, such as props man, & also played mood music on the piano for the actors, acted in bit parts & eventually was an assistant director. He also played the piano in cafés & silent-movie houses. In 1918 he joined the U.S. Navy, where he began writing songs. Warren wrote over 800 songs between 1918 & 1981, publishing over 500 of them. They were written mainly for 56 feature films or were used in other films that used Warren's newly written or existing songs. His songs eventually appeared in over 300 films & 112 of Warner Brothers "Looney Tunes" cartoons. 42 of his songs were on the top ten list of the radio program "Your Hit Parade", a measure of a song's popularity. 21 of these reached #1 on Your Hit Parade. "You'll Never Know" appeared 24 times. His song "I Only Have Eyes For You" is listed in the list of the 25 most-performed songs of the 20th Century, as compiled by the American Society of Composers, Authors, & Publishers (ASCAP). Warren was the director of ASCAP from 1929 to 1932. He collaborated on some of his most famous songs with lyricists Al Dubin, Billy Rose, Mack Gordon, Leo Robin, Ira Gershwin & Johnny Mercer. In 1942 the Gordon-Warren song "Chattanooga Choo-Choo", as performed by the Glenn Miller Orchestra, became the 1st gold record in history, with sales of 1,200,000. Among his biggest hits were "There Will Never Be Another You", "I Only Have Eyes for You", "Forty-Second Street", "The Gold Diggers' Song (We're in the Money)", "Lullaby of Broadway", "Serenade In Blue", "At Last", "Jeepers Creepers", "You're Getting to Be a Habit with Me" & "Young and Healthy". Warren's 1st hit song was "Rose of the Rio Grande" (1922), with lyrics by Edgar Leslie. He wrote a succession of hit songs in the 1920s, including "I Love My Baby (My Baby Loves Me)" & "Seminola" in 1925, "Where Do You Work-a John?" & "In My Gondola" in 1926 & "Nagasaki" in 1928. In 1930, he composed the music for the song "Cheerful Little Earful" for the Billy Rose Broadway revue, Sweet & Low, & composed the music, with lyrics by Mort Dixon & Joe Young, for the Ed Wynn Broadway revue The Laugh Parade in 1931. He started working for Warner Brothers in 1932, paired with Dubin to write the score for the 1st blockbuster film musical, 42nd Street, & continued to work there for six years, writing the scores for 32 more musicals. He worked for 20th Century Fox starting in 1940, writing with Mack Gordon. He moved to MGM starting in 1944, writing for musical films such as The Harvey Girls & The Barkleys of Broadway, many starring Fred Astaire. He later worked for Paramount, starting in the early 1950s, writing for the Bing Crosby movie Just for You & the Martin & Lewis movie The Caddy, the latter containing the hit song "That's Amore". He continued to write songs for several more Jerry Lewis comedies. Warren is particularly remembered for writing scores for the films of Busby Berkeley; they worked together on 18 films. His "uptempo songs are as memorable as Berkeley's choreography, as [sic] for the same reason: they capture, in a few snazzy notes, the vigorous frivolity of the Jazz Age." The 1980 stage musical 42nd Street showcases his popular songs from these films. Warren won the Academy Award for Best Song three times, collaborating with three different lyricists: "Lullaby of Broadway" & Al Dubin in 1935, "You'll Never Know" with Mack Gordon in 1943, & "On the Atchison, Topeka & the Santa Fe" with Johnny Mercer in 1946. He was nominated for eleven Oscars. In 1955, Warren wrote "The Legend of Wyatt Earp", which was used in the TV series The Life & Legend of Wyatt Earp. The last musical score that Warren composed specifically for Broadway was Shangri-La, a disastrous 1956 adaptation of James Hilton's Lost Horizon, which ran for only 21 performances. In 1957, he received his last Academy Award nomination for "An Affair To Remember". He continued to write songs for movies throughout the 1960s & 1970s but never again achieved the fame that he had enjoyed earlier. His last movie score was for Manhattan Melody, in 1980, but the film was never produced. Warren composed a Mass, with Latin text, in 1962. This was performed a decade later at Loyola Marymount University but has yet to be recorded commercially. Warren married Josephine Wensler in 1917. They had a son, Harry Jr. (1919–1938), & a daughter, Joan (b. 1925). Warren died on September 22, 1981 in Los Angeles. He is interred in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles. The plaque bearing Warren's epitaph displays the 1st few notes of "You'll Never Know". A theatre in Brooklyn, New York is named after Warren. According to Wilfrid Sheed, quoted in Time Magazine, "By silent consensus, the king of this army of unknown soldiers, the Hollywood incognitos, was Harry Warren, who had more songs on the Hit Parade than Berlin himself & who would win the contest hands down if enough people have heard of him." William Zinsser noted, "The familiarity of Harry Warren's songs is matched by the anonymity of the man... he is the invisible man, his career a prime example of the oblivion that cloaked so many writers who cranked out good songs for bad movies."
