He wrote many other works including several musical items. In 1923 Watch Your Thirst was performed at Wister's club The Tavern Club a private social club in Boston that held frequent dinners lectures and musical and theatre performances for its members. <br /> <br /> The fictional preface attributed to the long past Samuel Johnson sets the tone by noting his distaste not just lack of esteem for a people that can no longer trust itself to drink moderately. The half title asks the question "You may lead a man to water but can you stop his drink The libretto tells the story of Juno the Queen of Olympus concerned with propriety and virtue championing prohibition and other restrictions on mankind whilst other gods including Bacchus Venus and Minerva seek to circumvent or ignore her wishes drinking synthetic gin and cocktails where ever possible. Falling in love under the unwitting influence of his 'hooch' she embarrasses herself with Ganymede a mortal Bootlegger. Juno's principles are undermined and when confronted by the other residents of Olympus she agrees to relent so long as her secret is kept safe.<br /> <br /> There does not appear to have been any public performance and there is no record of any music although Wister most likely wrote music for the work having studied music at Harvard. Contemporary newspaper reviews are limited to reviewing and announcing this work: "A picture of prohibition enforcement on Mt Olympus that in both its satire and its wit is a most original burlesque on prohibition in theory and in practice."²</p> <br /> <p>An unusual and amusing response to prohibition and a worthy addition to any imbiber's collection.<br /> <br /> Uncommon. <br /> <br /> § Well held institutionally in the USA OCLC records only one holding in Australasia the University of Sydney.<br /> § Gabler G44470; Noling p.453.<br /> ¹ A second much shorter and rewritten version was performed and published upon the end of prohibition in 1933<br /> ² "Watch Your Thirst" San Francisco Bulletin 4 June 1923 p.5</p> </p> The Macmillan Company unknown
