The lyrics were written by Francis Beatty Silverwood (1863–1924), a Los Angeles clothier,[1][2] and the words were subsequently put to music by Abraham Franklin Frankenstein (1873–1934),[3] then conductor of the Orpheum Theatre Orchestra,[4] with an inaugural performance by Mary Garden. Frankenstein was a cousin of the San Francisco Chronicle's long-time music and art critic Alfred V. Frankenstein.[5] The song was published by Hatch & Loveland, Music Printers, Los Angeles, California,[6] and copyrighted by F.B. Silverwood in 1913. It was the official song of expositions held in San Francisco and San Diego in 1915.
