and e	Origins: 'Sarah Sitting in Shoe Shine Shop' (27)	RE: Origins: 'Sarah Sitting in Shoe Shine Shop'	04 Mar 24
. . . . an informal banquet was held at the Elks' Club, Wednesday, July 16 1919 . . . . Frank Sherman, the other entertainer on the program, sang several character songs. Chief among them was "Sarah of the Shoe Shine Shop." Down in the yard they are still singing that song. "Foot Ball Team Honored", The Morse Dry Dock Dial, August, 1919. pg 3. See google books here: https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Morse_Dry_Dock_Dial/-Oc_AQAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=sarah+%22shoe+shine+shop%22&pg=RA18-PA3&printsec=frontcover This reference would place "Sarah Sarah Sitting in a Shoe Shine Shop" a year after the publishing of "Ja-da" and five years before the copyrighted 1924 "Sarah Sarah" song.
