"Daddy Long Legs" Sheet Music - 1919
"Daddy Long Legs" sheet music published by Waterson, Berlin, & Snyder Co. Lyrics by Sam M. Lewis & Joe Young. Music by Harry Ruby. Features a portrait of Mary Pickford by Lindstedt on the cover. 1919.
Not to go off on a tangent, but it's worth mentioning that this sheet music ultimately resulted in one of Mary's many, many lawsuits. In a nutshell, the Broadway Music Corporation version was agreed to by Mary; the Waterson, Berlin & Snyder Co. by her mother Charlotte and her lawyer, Dennis F. O'Brien (some reports published at the time reverse this, but the court records show otherwise.) Broadway was promoting their music as Mary's official song to exhibitors which was stifling Waterson's sales. Mary, at the behest of her mother, told Broadway to stop as she preferred the Waterson version, but the damage was done. This was perceived as a breach of contract on Mary's part and so Waterson stopped paying royalties. Mary basically sued Waterson for said royalties and (bizarrely) won, but it seems the judgement was overturned on appeal.
