"Four Jolly Sailor Boys" [sic]
Having been recorded by Henry Lytton in 1903, the quartette "Four Jolly Sailormen" was the most popular number in the opera. Apparently, it was popular enough to warrant being made into a silent film. I do not have this item, but the details are given by the Silent Film website:
