Autograph Lyrics inscribed and signed: "Irv Caesar" on verso
of photograph of him (b/w, 5x7). In full: "Dear John - This is the
best I can do. I am not a musician - composer - just a lyric writer.
'Picture you upon my knee. Tea for two and two for tea. Best wishes."
Irving Caesar (1895-1996) wrote over 100 songs, including "Tea for Two",
"Sometimes I'm Happy," "Swanee" (with Gershwin), "Crazy Rhythm", "Imagination"
and "Animal Crackers in My Soup" and the Broadway musical No No
Nanette. He collaborated on songs and shows with George Gershwin,
Vincent Youmas, George M. Cohan and many others, and wrote several of Al
Jolson's songs. When asked which came first, the music or the lyrics, Caesar
replied, "What comes first is the contract." Creased
and soiled, with vertical fold very visible on photo side. Otherwise, fine
condition.
