There's a song called "In Love" in the musical Blue Eyes that opened in London April 27, 1928, and had 276 performances.
Composer was Jerome Kern (lyrics by Graham John) - it was a revised version of a song called "Alone At Last" from the 1913 musical Oh, I Say!.

Thanks, Joe, looks likely. The Salzkammergut is in White Horse Inn: the programme notes I got off the web give it as "In Sal...." followed by a ballet titled "Sal...."

Having paid to enter this for a charity, if I win they'll get the prize money back! I wanted to check as I'll spring it on some friends whow are more into this amateur shows to see how many they can get without checking!

There's also, "So in Love," from "Kiss Me, Kate." Cole Porter, 1948.
