[edit][Moved from user talk page]: Citations are hard to come by for out-of-town closings. Ref. books don't care about anything but Broadway. Hitchy Koo 1922 (by the way, the "of" in the titles of this series is incorrect) gets into books because the score was by Cole Porter. It's mentioned on p. 92 of the McBrien bio and also in Suskin: Show Tunes 2nd edition p. 120. Both cite a brief Phil. tryout. H K 1923 is hard to cite, because most of the score was by Lewis Gensler and Irving Caesar. No bios or major ref. entries. I've seen the sheet music, however. The show did exist. I'm told it played a lengthy tryout but may never have had a Broadway date. Hitchcock's folksy art was going out of style by then. The racier revues--Ziegfeld's, but also White's, the Greenwich Village Follies, and even Earl Carroll--knocked him off. Fred Lane (talk) 08:18, 28 May 2009.
