==Production history==
The show had tryouts in Atlantic City, New Jersey in August 1919 and the Colonial Theatre, Boston in September 1919 prior to its Broadway premiere.〔("''Hitchy-Koo of 1919''" ), sondheimguide.com, accessed 20 December 2013〕 The revue debuted on Broadway at the Liberty Theatre on October 6, 1919 and closed on November 22, 1919, running for a total of 56 performances. The show later toured the United States.〔Schwartz, p. 54〕 It starred, and was produced by, Raymond Hitchcock, who also produced and starred in versions of ''Hitchy-Koo'' in 1917, 1918, and 1920.
Some of the songs were written while Porter was in Paris, during World War I. As Porter was returning to the United States by ship, he met Hitchcock. After hearing some of Porter's songs, Hitchcock engaged Porter for the 1919 show.〔Porter, Cole and Kimball, Robert. ''The complete lyrics of Cole Porter'' (1992), Da Capo Press, ISBN 0-306-80483-2, p. xxviii〕 The song "When I Had a Uniform On", helped launch the stage career of the Broadway comic, Joe Cook.〔("COLE PORTER: THE GREAT SOPHISTICATE," ) theatrehistory.com (originally published in ''The Story of America's Musical Theater''. David Ewen.1961. pp. 134-139.), accessed August 1, 2009〕 One of the songs, "Old-Fashioned Garden" became Porter's first hit. (The song used the surplus flower costumes the producers had bought from Florenz Ziegfeld.)〔

Doherty, Raymond Hitchcock, Charles Howard, Waneta Means, Ruth Mitchell, Florence O'Denishawn, Ursula O'Hare, Elaine Palmer, Eleanor Sinclair, Mark Sullivan, and Charles Witzell.
