Whipped Cream was and is one of Wenrich's most popular works. This is a fine bubbling, frothy, effervescent rag well whipped up and living up to its title and the charming cover of the original sheet music. The charming young lady pictured has more than a passing resemblance to that unfortunate Gisbon Girl, Evelyn Nesbit. Indeed Evelyn Nesbit is shown with her dancing partner Jack Clifford on one edition of
Whipped Cream, the publishers no likely cashing-in on her notoriety. [Evelyn Nesbit (1884-1967) was an artist's model and actress noted for her entanglement in the murder of her debaucher and ex-lover, the architect Stanford White, by her husband Harry K. Thaw, the millionaire son of a coal and railroad baron. She is the subject of books, a film and a musical.]
Whipped Cream was published by
Wenrich-Howard Co., New York, USA.
