    Innocent Eyes is a musical revue in two acts with music by Sigmund Romberg and Jean Schwartz, lyrics by Harold Atteridge and Tot Seymour, and a book by Atteridge. Produced by brothers Jacob J. and Lee Shubert, the musical premiered at the Winter Garden Theatre on May 20, 1924, where it ran for 126 performances; closing on August 30, 1924. Set in Paris, France, the work had no unifying plot and was instead a series of vignettes intended to show off the various talents of the work's stars. The production's lavish sets and costumes rivaled those of the Ziegfeld Follies; the work's chief competitor in the musical revue genre that Broadway season. Charles Gesmar designed the costumes and Watson Barratt designed the sets.

    The Ham Tree is a "musical vaudeville" in three acts with music by Jean Schwartz, lyrics by William Jerome, and a book by George V. Hobart. A popular success from its debut in 1905, the work toured for several years; including three separate runs on Broadway. The work was created as a starring vehicle for vaudeville and minstrel show stars James McIntyre and Thomas Heath who were known for their work as blackface performers. The work incorporated several of their prior popular routines and sketches from their work on the vaudeville stage in order to appeal to their fan base. The concept of a "ham tree", along with other humorous trees like an "egg tree", was a repeating gag in their works dating back to their performances in The Georgia Minstrels in the 1890s and early 1900s. Following its initial tour, the work was revived by McIntyre and Heath several times, and was later heavily revised and retitled Hello, Alexander for a Broadway staging in 1919.
