Hodges, who wrote the lyrics, and the composer Vinton Freedley each played roles in the performance, Freedley performing the role of "Isabelle Rankin, a rich American heiress". The parts have the stamps of the Bendix Music Bureau of New York. Max Bendix made his Bendix Symphony Orchestra, which he conducted, available for special occasions. Some of the parts additionally have the stamp of composer/conductor George Lowell Tracy. Tracy (1855-1921) had made his first appearance as a conductor when he was only 10 years old leading an orchestra in a performance of "Oliver Twist" produced by Fannie Davenport and her husband. He lived in Lewiston, Maine where he founded the Rubenstein Club of Lewiston and Auburn, and the Maine Conservatory of Music. He eventually became a professor of music at Boston College. Composed in 1912, "The Legend of Loravia" was first performed by The Hasty Pudding Club at Harvard from March 30 to April 7, 1914. It was then performed at The Carnegie Lyceum in New York City from April 20 to 22, 1914. Vinton Freedley [1891-1969] was an American theatre and television producer known for his productions of works by Cole Porter, George Gershwin and Richard Rodgers, and for such television shows as Talent Jackpot and Showtime U.S.A. Among his musical productions were Lady Be Good featuring Fred and Adele Astaire, Let's Face It!, Leave It to Me!, Cabin in the Sky, Anything Goes, Pardon My English, and Red, Hot and Blue. Informally known as "The Pudding", The Hasty Pudding Theatrical was and is a student society at Harvard University which performed burlesque cross-dressing musicals. In 1897 John Wheelwright described The Hasty Pudding as a "kindly association of men of all ages in a gay evening of simple enjoyment". A rare and very unusual item. Good .
