Vintage Ad

The original sheet music cover for Watch Your Step (1914) gives you an idea of the ornate, colorful style that dominated theatrical memorabilia and advertising in the 1910s. The score by Irving Berlin included several hits, most notably the counterpoint "Play a Simple Melody," and the less well known "When I Discovered You."
