Introducing: “She’s Just A Baby” from “George White’s Scandals of 1921”
(George Gershwin)
Played by The Happy Six
Columbia, A3467 (79955), 1921.
This sprightly performed piece by The Happy Six is from the third annual Broadway musical revue, “George White’s Scandals.” Music for the show (which also included the better-known “Drifting Along with the Tide”) was composed by George Gershwin, with lyrics by Arthur Jackson.
The Happy Six was a band organized by Harry Yerkes (of Yerkes’ S. S. Flotilla Orchestra fame), which made many recordings for Columbia in the early 1920s.
The autographed movie star photos were collected by my mother and her sisters in the 1920s by writing to the stars.
You can always win with a Gershwin song
My Darling Anthony,
How WONDERFUL you are back and posting.
Love the Fabulous song....Love those BANJOS.....
Love the gorgeous autographed photos. As Norma Desmond said in "Sunset Blvd".....they had FACES!
Your Mother and Aunts had fabulous taste..:-))
I collect autographs...not so much movie stars but Broadway stars....sometimes they are from the Big Screen appearing in short term play.....My latest acquisition is Clive Owen from "Old Times" and my most precious one is Kevin Spacey from "Iceman Cometh."
Love the video and the thought that young girls made this happen. :-)
Millions of STARS
Happy New Year
Smooch

Thanks for this happy tune - your notes ere interesting, as very young children we used to write to all the stars and many sent us autogaphed pics, sadly lost over time.
