Sigmund Romberg Extremely Rare Early Original Autographed 8/10 Photo

Description

Here is a very rare early vintage original autographed 8" by 10" photo of composer Sigmund Romberg (1887-1951), who wrote over 2,000 popular songs as well as romantic operettas with songs flavored by his earlier Viennese influences, and was also a film composer (see credits below). Romberg's most famous operettas were The Student Prince (1924, included the songs "Deep in My Heart", "Serenade" and "Drinking Song"), The Desert Song (1926, featuring "One Alone") and The New Moon (1928, with songs "Lover, Come Back to Me" and "Stout Hearted Men"). Sigmund Romberg was a Hungarian-born American composer. He is best known for his musicals and operettas, particularly The Student Prince (1924), The Desert Song (1926) and The New Moon (1928).
Early in his career, Romberg was employed by the Shubert brothers to write music for their musicals and revues, including several vehicles for Al Jolson. For the Shuberts, he also adapted several European operettas for American audiences, including the successful Maytime (1917) and Blossom Time (1921). His three hit operettas of the mid-1920s, named above, are in the style of Viennese operetta, but his other works from that time mostly employ the style of American musicals of their eras. He also composed film scores. Tape/staining corners, creasing corners, minor paper loss left corner. Very rare.
