Sheet music for The Pianoforte by Julia Frances Smith. Published by Harold Flammer, Inc., New York.
Pennsylvannia native Marjorie Henderson Bruell (1904-1993) , whose work appeared under the pen name "Marge" first had Little Lulu published as a single-panel cartoon in THE SATURDDAY EVENING POST on February 23, 1935. The single-panel continued in the POST until the December 30,1944 issue.and continued from then as a regular comic strip. In 1950, Little Lulu became a daily syndicated series by Chicago Tribune-New York News Syndicate, and ran until 1969. Little Lulu was a resourceful, silent,(at first) little girl whose loopy curls were reminiscent of the artist's own as a girl.Buell explained to a reporter, "I wanted a girl because a girl could get away with more fresh stunts that in a small boy would seem boorish."
