Speranza
"Old Fashioned Garden".
The war over, Porter returned to America.
His already growing reputation as a clever sophisticate resulted in this commision.
HITCHCOCK, a fairly successful comic, began his annual revue series in 1917.
Although parts of HITCHY-KOO's score displayed Porter's sophisticated lyricism, it was the simple, sentimental, "Old Fashioned Garden" that became his first song hit.
