Herald newspaper, Dolly Dip, a pretty
girl who loves dancing and music, was
featured in the Sunday comic section
from November 1914 to June 1915. "Dolly Dip" was a
feature absolutely unique, for each
adventure was accompanied by an
entirely new piece of "Modern
Music."
The series of Dolly's spirited
adventures, where her dancing
tendencies always save the situation is
accompanied with a story line-song
lyrics written by Mary Watts. Dolly
Dip's dance escapades are set to music
composed by Sol P. Levy, with new and
original tangoes, one-steps, maxixes, hesitations, and fox
trots. A complete dance in weekly each
installment. Story lines include; Dolly
Dip, Dances The New Year In, Dolly Dip
at the Opera, Dolly Dip Adventures
On Skates, Dolly Dip in China
town, and Dolly Dip At The Auto Show.
The 1915 Boston Sunday Post Newspaper, one of a number that carried the
Dolly Dip comic-sheet music, features
the dance song; "A touch of Tango makes
the whole World spin," with the story
line "Dolly Dip Opens the Baseball
Season," which can be sung to the dance
music. (This Tango was also used in
other story lines) The Sheet Music
Drawing was done by Herman Hirschauer,
which illustrates an early 20th century
ball game, with Dolly Dip throwing a
ball from the stands, with a caption,
"Dolly starts the 1915 Series but, __
the game had to be postponed."
Wrapped around the top of the sheet are 5 posters which reads; Base Ball
Science, Base Ball News, Base Ball
Talk, Baseball Guides, and Base Ball
Dope. Each poster illustrates a 1910s
ballplayer. At the bottom of the page,
Dolly is in front of a ballplayer
catching a ball, with fans and ball
players dancing in the background. The
bottom right reads; "(Copyright 1915 by
the New York Herald Co.) All Rights
Reserved" A baseball that reads
'"L'ENVOL" PLAY BALL" is in the right
bottom corner.
"A
touch of Tango makes the whole
World spin" was also a dance score from the
1915 theatrical play "Nobody Home;" a
musical comedy that tells a story with
lots of dancing and a host of pretty
girls, of the adventures of Freddy Popple an Englishman, who apparently is
an empty-headed creature (hence Nobody
Home). Dolly Dip is a character that
dances, with the latest steps and
movements.

"Dolly Dip
Opens The Baseball Season" - Lyrics 1915
(Can be sung to the dance
music) words by Mary Watts
|
|
| |
When Dolly threw the opening ball
At Baseball Park that day,
"She made a hit!" they cried;
"Her batting average is O.K."
But when the seventh inning came
She straight began to whirl.
The players looked, then "threw the game"
To the laughing girl
Chorus
"Come along!" said laughing Dolly;
"Play ball!" the fans are crying.
Every man is off his base,
The players from the game are flying.
"Come along!" the girl is winning.
"Play ball!" its Dolly's inning.
"Come along!" the game is won
By Dolly Dip's home run.
