Script
source;
Library of Congress, Washington.
The Finale changed a bit during the run of "I'll Say She Is". The script in Library of Congress calls the final scene "Oriental" and is as shown to the left. In the review of the Philadelphia version of the show in Variety in June 1923, Waters mentions "a rather silly comedy number, In the Sheik's Tent" with Baggott and Herbert and that "a fine finishing touch was put on the show by the appearance of the Yerkes Happy Six (augmented to nine) orchestra, which rendered both jazz and semi-classical numbers to the tune of wild applause." On Broadway, the show had the song A

performed

10, and Beauty's Russian Garden, a dance number in
four parts as the
11th and last scene. The four parts were:
