| - Sally ist eine Musical Comedy, die Florenz Ziegfeld für den Star seiner Revue Ziegfeld Follies of 1918, Marilyn Miller produzierte. Er beauftragte Jerome Kern für die Komposition der Musik und Guy Bolton für das Verfassen eines Buches. Als Vorlage diente eine nicht realisierte Princess Theatre-Show von Bolton und P. G. Wodehouse. Die Gesangstexte stammen im Wesentlichen von Clifford Grey. Des Weiteren fanden zwei Songs aus einem misslungenen Musical Verwendung, die Kern mit Buddy DeSylva geschrieben hatte, darunter der Hit der Show, Look for the Silver Lining. Eine zusätzliche Ballettnummer wurde von Victor Herbert komponiert. (de)
- Sally is a musical comedy with music by Jerome Kern, lyrics by Clifford Grey and book by Guy Bolton (inspired by the 19th century show, Sally in our Alley), with additional lyrics by Buddy De Sylva, Anne Caldwell and P. G. Wodehouse. The plot hinges on a mistaken-identity: Sally, a waif, is a dishwasher at the Alley Inn. She poses as a famous foreign ballerina and rises to fame (and finds love) through joining the Ziegfeld Follies. There is a rags to riches story, a ballet as a centrepiece, and a wedding as a finale. "Look for the Silver Lining" continues to be one of Kern's most familiar songs. The song is lampooned by another song, "Look for a Sky of Blue," in Rick Besoyan's satirical 1959 musical Little Mary Sunshine. (en)
