シカゴといえば、ホットジャズ、チャールストン、密造酒、ギャング、アル・カポネ、エリオット・ネス、シカゴブルース、アメリカ第二の都市（たぶん）。
永井荷風が訪れた明治半ばのシカゴはすでに世界に冠たる大都会で、巨大な摩天楼がぎっしりと立ち並ぶ威容にさしもの荷風山人も息を呑んだと想像される。

Both this and the flip side “Wasn’t It Beautiful While It Lasted?” were written for the Broadway musical “Flying High” （355 performances）, which starred Bert Lahr and Kate Smith. Lahr & Charlotte Greenwood filled those roles for MGM’s 1931 film version, though none of the play’s DeSylva-Brown-Henderson songs were used.
