The IMSLP has a vocal score for this operetta, and the color cover is, of course, by McCay, in ink and paint. Let’s see if I can embed it here (second try: the first one was rather large):
The moiré patterns are in the original scan. I could have fixed that for them if I’d done it, but now it’s embedded.
The vocal score is here. It doesn’t have the orchestration, but everybody re-orchestrates old shows now anyway. All the songs are there. (Also, it’s in the public domain, so no royaties.)
Just looked around. The libretto is here. The link is at the bottom. Better scan of the cover, too.

Victor Herbert—this was no small-time operation.

Hmm-mm-mm, I wonder if it’s possible to find the original music to that production…

Good grief! Here are MIDI sound files of the numbers. What a world!
And this might be the same libretto, or a revised one.

Pretty amazing the the whole score exists in midi form and doesn’t even sound that bad. What a world, indeed!
