The Ham Tree: 1906
New Orleans, 1906. "Arcade of Crescent and Tulane Theatres." At the Tulane, the blackface team of McIntyre and Heath headline "The Ham Tree," a musical novelty described by one reviewer as "an amplified vaudeville sketch." 8x10 inch glass negative. View full size.
Separate, but not unequal
Built at the same time, by the same company, but no, not for the reason one might think: one was for "popular" entertainment, the other for drama. All you might want to know.
The arcade continued on to the left, slightly narrower, giving it a "T-shape" and providing access to Baronne Street.
The Ham Tree
Sounds like a variation on the story of the settlers' scout crawling back to the wagon train, "It wasn't a Bacon Tree like the Indian said; it was a Ham Bush!"
"Sweethearts in Every Town"
At least one song from "The Ham Tree" is available on YouTube, although not performed by McIntyre & Heath: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMPe30V8udo
W.C. Fields
was in the original 1905 Broadway show.
