The New York Times article archive now seems to be behind the paywall. The Library of Congress had a copy of the Omaha Daily Bee for January 11, 1914. I found this article on the ninth page. I wasn't able to find any candidates on YouTube for the song referred to as "You Little Rag Doll", but I did find a song called, "There's a Girl in the Heart of Maryland". The YouTube poster says it is from 1913. Perhaps that's the song.
Check out Henry Burr, one of the performers in "There's a Girl in the Heart of Maryland", singing the future Elvis hit, "Are You Lonesome Tonight", recorded, according to the uploader, in 1927. Gentle & soaring.
