The night of Oct. 25, 1922 was a time for Roper-style inspiration. His moderately talented boys were about to hit the road for the toughest game of their season in Chicago. It was a contest of undefeateds, but the big, burly undefeated team from the University of Chicago looked like it could overpower the small, scrappy undefeated team from Princeton, and no one outside the ivy-covered walls of Old Nassau seemed to think the Tigers had a chance.

It is during this time of increased national fire safety awareness and education that PEARL Protected announces the availability of its flagship product, the Permanent Escape And Rescue Ladder (PEARL). PEARL is a revolutionary, first-of-its-kind home safety device that is permanently installed into the wall space below upper-story windows. This device allows homeowners to quickly and easily escape or be rescued in the event of a residential fire or other home emergency.

"Mister Gallagher and Mister Shean," featured in Ziegfeld's Follies of 1922 and performed in hit recordings by a number of artists, including two very different versions included here. One is by the originators, Ed Gallagher and Al Shean (listen to the less-known "B" side of their big hit in our November Recording of the Month"), and the second is by Jones and Hare, who recorded it for both Brunswick and Okeh. As in previous years, Al Jolson continued his unbroken streak of popularity with the smash hit "April Showers," from Bombo, and "Angel Child."
