Sydney Leff (illustratore). Ukulele arrangement by W. J. C. Lewis. Original large-format sheet music, complete as issued, featuring photographic inset of orchestra leader Leo F. Reisman. Rear cover advertises 'Sometime' by Gus Kahn and Ted Fiorito. Copyright 1925. A vibrant Roaring Twenties dance-era sheet music issue celebrating the Charleston craze that swept American popular culture during the mid-1920s. The striking cover features a fashionable flapper in vivid red attire posed against a stylized pastoral backdrop rendered in strong Art Deco-inspired colors and linework. The inclusion of ukulele chord diagrams reflects the instrument's enormous popularity in American homes during the Jazz Age, while the inset portrait of bandleader Leo F. Reisman connects the song directly to contemporary dance orchestra culture and hotel ballroom performance circuits. Jerome H. Remick & Co., one of Tin Pan Alley's leading publishers, produced many enduring standards of the dance-band era, and this issue remains an attractive example of Charleston-themed musical ephemera. Condition: Very Good. Covers retain bright, unfaded color with strong overall eye appeal. Moderate edge wear, corner creasing, and a small chip/loss at the lower left front cover noted but not visually distracting. Light age toning and handling wear throughout. Interior pages clean and complete with secure fold and no detached leaves, tears, or writing beyond a small contemporary pencil notation to the upper and lower front cover. Roy Turk (1892-1934) was a prolific Tin Pan Alley lyricist whose credits include numerous Jazz Age hits and popular standards recorded by major dance orchestras of the 1920s. Composer Lou Handman (1894-1956) was an American pianist and songwriter remembered for both novelty dance tunes and enduring popular ballads, collaborating widely across vaudeville and Broadway circles. Leo F. Reisman (1897-1961), pictured on the cover, was among the leading American dance-band conductors of the interwar period. His sophisticated orchestra became closely associated with hotel ballroom entertainment, radio broadcasting, and stylish society dance music during the height of the Jazz Age. Sydney Leff (1901-2005) was an American commercial illustrator active during the 1920s and early 1930s whose work appeared on numerous Tin Pan Alley sheet music covers during the height of the Jazz Age. His illustrations are especially associated with fashionable flapper imagery, streamlined Art Deco compositions, and vibrant theatrical color palettes designed to attract attention in music-store displays and department-store windows. Working during a transformative period in American graphic design, Leff helped move sheet music illustration away from Victorian ornamental traditions toward the cleaner, modern visual language that would come to define late-1920s commercial art and advertising. Today, surviving examples of his signed covers are appreciated both as musical ephemera and as representative works of early American Art Deco illustration.

Sydney Leff (illustratore). Original large-format sheet music edition featuring a striking Jazz Age cover illustration by noted commercial artist Sydney Leff (1901-2005), one of the most prolific and influential American sheet-music illustrators of the 1920s. Printed in bold blue, gray, and orange tones, the cover depicts a melancholy fireside interior scene with inset publicity photograph of vaudeville performers Lewis and Smith. This issue also includes a ukulele arrangement by May Singhi Breen ('The Queen of the Ukulele'), reflecting the immense popularity of fretted-instrument accompaniment during the height of the 1920s ukulele craze. Rear cover advertises the Irving Berlin title Yearning (Just for You) by Benny Davis and Joe Burke. Condition: Very Good. Light age toning and moderate handling wear consistent with use and age. Mild edge wear, several tiny edge tears, and small corner creases; no major losses or detached leaves. Interior music pages remain clean and fully legible with strong paper integrity and no substantial staining or notation. Cover colors remain bright and attractive, especially uncommon for a 1924 popular-music issue printed on inexpensive stock. Presumed first edition / early commercial printing, 1924. Copyright statement on interior music page reads 'MCMXXIV by Irving Berlin, Inc., 1607 B'way, N.Y.' Original Irving Berlin imprint, period advertising, and the contemporary May Singhi Breen ukulele arrangement are all consistent with a first-year commercial issue intended for home performance and phonograph-era sales. Sydney Leff became one of the defining visual stylists of Tin Pan Alley publishing during the Jazz Age, producing hundreds of highly recognizable covers characterized by elegant elongated figures, theatrical interiors, and bold flat-color lithographic design. His work for Irving Berlin and related New York publishers remains especially sought after by collectors of American commercial illustration and music ephemera. Benny Davis, Joe Burke, and Mark Fisher were major contributors to interwar American popular music. Joe Burke later composed enduring standards including Rambling Rose and Moon Over Miami, while Irving Berlin's publishing house represented one of the dominant forces in Tin Pan Alley music production during the 1920s.

Sydney Leff (illustratore). Popular Jazz Age novelty and dance-era standard issued in ukulele arrangement form, with ukulele transcription by May Singhi Breen, celebrated as 'The Queen of the Ukulele.' Cover features a stylish Art Deco-influenced flapper illustration with inset portrait of vocalist Francis Williams of Williams and Van Nessi. Rear cover advertises the contemporary Irving Berlin publication Ukulele Lady by Gus Kahn and Richard A. Whiting, another landmark of the 1920s ukulele craze. This example remains in Very Good condition overall. Light rubbing and age toning to covers, with mild corner wear and a few small edge stresses typical of 1920s sheet music. Interior pages remain clean and supple with no detached leaves or loss to notation. The cover illustration retains strong contrast and unusually vivid orange coloration, enhancing display appeal. A faint contemporary pencil notation appears near the lower left margin of the front cover, adding period character without materially detracting from presentation. First published in 1925, Yes Sir! That's My Baby became one of the defining popular songs of the Jazz Age and was widely recorded by dance bands, vaudeville performers, and later swing and early jazz revival artists. The present ukulele-arranged edition reflects the enormous national popularity of the instrument during the mid-1920s, when publishers routinely issued specialized 'uke' arrangements for amateur musicians and college performers. Copies specifically crediting May Singhi Breen are especially desirable, as her arrangements and advocacy helped legitimize and standardize the ukulele in American popular music publishing. Sydney Leff (1901-2005) was one of the most prolific and influential commercial illustrators of the 1920s, whose refined Jazz Age covers became closely associated with the vibrant, fashionable sheet music design of the era. Leff began his career as a commercial artist in high school and quickly became a go-to illustrator for Tin Pan Alley publishers. Known for his efficiency, he often produced three to four cover designs each day, ultimately creating over 2,000 unique illustrations. His work blended elegance, playfulness, and the spirit of the Jazz Age, capturing the energy and style of the 1920s through stylized figures, decorative borders, and clever typography. May Singhi Breen (1891-1970), often promoted as 'The Queen of the Ukulele,' was among the most influential figures in the American ukulele movement of the 1920s and 1930s. Born in New York City, she became a nationally recognized performer, arranger, recording artist, and radio personality. Breen successfully campaigned for music publishers to recognize the ukulele as a legitimate instrument in published arrangements, and her instructional methods and transcriptions introduced countless Americans to popular music performance during the Jazz Age. Lyricist Gus Kahn (1886-1941) was one of Tin Pan Alley's most successful songwriters, producing enduring standards including Makin' Whoopee, Dream a Little Dream of Me, and It Had to Be You. Composer Walter Donaldson (1893-1947) was likewise among the era's premier melodists, responsible for classics such as My Blue Heaven, Love Me or Leave Me, and Carolina in the Morning. Together, Kahn and Donaldson helped define the sophisticated yet accessible sound of 1920s American popular song.
