Lighter	Origins: Ten Green Bottles... (10)	RE: Origins: Ten Green Bottles...	17 Jun 25
Earliest mention?" Falls City (Neb.) News (May 24, 1889): "Professor Gilmore and his female minstrel orchestra....After this followed songs, duets and recitations by the individual females, closing with the Italian opera '99 Green Bottles Hanging n the Wall.' This was the climax, and before the sixtieth bottle had been 'sung from the wall,' the exhausted members of the troupe fainted away, one by one, until only Mrs. Powell and the professor remained, seemingly determined to get the last bottle off. A [comic stage-business] telegram...brought the entertainment to a close."
