Original 1930 sheet music for Sittin’ on a Rainbow, theme song from the Columbia Pictures production Call of the West. Lyrics by Jack Yellen and music by Dan Dougherty, published by Ager, Yellen & Bornstein, Inc.
The cover features glamorous star Dorothy Revier, who appeared in numerous silent and early sound films, along with co-star Matt Moore. Directed by Albert Ray, Call of the West was a Western romance blending adventure with music — and this sheet music represents one of its key promotional pieces.
Historical Background:
Jack Yellen was one of America’s most successful lyricists of the early 20th century, known for hits like Ain’t She Sweet and Happy Days Are Here Again. His collaboration with Dougherty on this Columbia release reflects the era when studios heavily promoted films through popular sheet music. Dorothy Revier, often billed as a “jazz age vamp,” was a star of the late 1920s and early 1930s, making this piece especially collectible for fans of pre-Code Hollywood and early sound films.
Condition: Good vintage condition with some edge wear, small creases, and pencil marks including a faint “Complimentary” stamp, but overall cover image remains strong and
