IRVING BERLIN
Signature of composer Irving Berlin on a match book.
Match Book Signed: "Irving Berlin", 4½x1½ match book. Irving Berlin
(1888-1989), born Israel Isidore Baline in Tumen, Siberia, Russia, was such a
force in American music that in 1924, when Berlin was just 37, songwriter
Jerome Kern gave this assessment: "Irving Berlin has no place in American music.
He is American music." If the only song he ever wrote was "God Bless
America", made famous by Kate Smith, Berlin would be an important part of
American music. But Berlin wrote more than 900 songs, including the
classics "A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody", "There's No Business Like Show
Business", "Always", "Easter Parade" and "Blue Skies", 19 musicals,
including Annie Get Your Gun and Call Me Madam, and the scores
of 18 movies, including Holiday Inn, which featured his 1942
Academy Award-winning song, "White Christmas". Staple holes at left margin.
Ink note (unknown hand) on verso (no show through). Fine
condition.
