I removed this line: In 1915, Herbert became the first man to compose a film score -- for The Fall of a Nation, a forgotten sequel to The Birth of a Nation.

because it's simply untrue. Saint-Saëns was the first, for a film called L'Assassinat du duc de Guise (The Assassination of the Duke of Guise) in 1908. Melodia Chaconne 18:59, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

16 Dec 05 I removed the reference to "Sally (1920)" in the list of Herbert's compositions. The music to that show was composed by Jerome Kern. User:Jeffmatt

I added a lot of info from the web, but the article needs a better bibliography, footnoting, etc. Ssilvers 01:21, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I romoved this line "If one does not know about dis dude than they shall rejoice." And added nicer things! ---

3 Apr 08. Although Jerome Kern wrote the music for SALLY (1920), Victor Herbert wrote its "Butterfly Ballet", per E.N. Waters biography, p. 525. He wrote songs for other Ziegfeld shows, including contributing to several editions of the Ziegfeld Follies - 1917, 1920, 1921, 1922, 1923 (per the J. Kaye biography, p. 266) [User: Eriknorcal] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eriknorcal (talk • contribs) 06:13, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
