Subject: Lyr Req: 'Some Day' from 'The Vagabond King' 1925
As some of you know, I host a website: Blackcatter's World of TV Theme Lyrics
And am constantly looking for lyrics for the site. Gonna post some request here. Was thinking about putting a whole bunch in one thread, but they're from different generes so hopefully listing a bunch seperately will work better.
Short Story Dramas (dramatic anthology, hosted by Ruth Woods) (NBC Primetime, 1952 - 1953) aka: "Short Story Theatre"
This was a twice-weekly program of short plays (only 15 minutes, on Tuesdays and Thursdays) which were adapted from short stories, with linking narration and an introduction by Miss Woods]
Theme: "Some Day" from the 1925 operatta "The Vagabond King"
Composers: music by Rudolph Friml and English lyric by Brian Hooker
Friml was an Czech-born composer who immigrated to the U.S. He lived from 1879-1972; The stage operetta version debuted in New York in 1925; a musical film by Paramount Studios was released in 1930]
