About this film

Irish bagpipes solo, Ted Levy - piano, Victor 18286. The first and last are lyrics of Thomas Moore's, Killarney is a composition of Michael Balfe, a Dublin born opera composer. This tune was also recorded on cylinder by piper Patsy Touhey, and flute player John Sheridan paired Believe Me and Killarney on a 78 in the late 20s. These are all sentimental songs which would've brought many a tear to audiences of the vaudeville houses Ennis and Touhey performed in.
