Jack Horntip Lyr Req: Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines (40) RE: Lyr Req: Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines 17 Apr 25


The song "Captain Jinks" was made into a popular musical in 1901.


See here: ETHEL BARRYMORE ... who became a Broadway star in 1901
in the new romantic comedy play, “Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines”.


In 1902 a couple of books of "Captain Jinks" were released. I guess
taking the popularity of music and the character of "Captain Jinks".

The tune is used for "Away Away with Rum by Gum [aka The Song of the
Salavation Army]" and it is used for the "North Atlantic Squadron" songs.
