Levy's (2) (see my post above) is the first edition, published June 29, 1914. The Heart of Paddy Whack opened in New York City on Nov. 23, 1914. Ball, a composer, was born in Cleveland in 1878 and died in California in 1927. Brennan, a lyricist and singer, was born in san Francisco in 1873 and died in California in 1948. Ball composed "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" and "Mother Machree" (with Chauncey Olcott) too. Those pieces of info are from Fuld's Book of World-Famous Music.
