Its wonderful to hear the music during my father's young life. He told of me the Friday or Saturday movies at the local theatre for a 5 cents or 10 cents. Movie matinees and his family going to the movies. Telling me names that I had to look up and research. It was a time that I can only imagine through the movie or news reels of the day. My dad was born in mid 1920's. This music reminds me of his recollection of those times. Nice to hear music I was not aware of and appreciate the times of the past.
I adore this number -- yet another good song to debut in a Shirley Temple film. Russ sounds just polite and genteel enough to deliver my favorite line from this cute ditty, "Meet the future Mrs Hemingway!" Musically, it's the tenor and trumpet trading fours, though,, that is the highlight of this bit of Depression-era fun.
I was thinking of Fats Waller, whose first Victorious Rhythms quasi coincided with the release of this recording. _Baby, Take a Bow_ would have suited him so well.
@@henridelagardere264 Indeed! I'm sure Fats would have taken this charmer into territory that Russ never could have imagined. ... Of course not only Mrs. Hemingway but also Mrs. Throckmorton turned up in the refined environment of "Lounging at the Waldorf."
Seems like Nye Mayhew was hedging his bets at the time, playing like Freddy Martin one minute, and then venturing into Hawkins-esque jazz territory the next. Remember he was a veteran of the early Paul Whiteman orchestra, so he had plenty of experience under his belt by this time.
yeah! he has lots of good stuff where he sings, my favorite being on the LP ‘Let’s Dance… to RUSS MORGAN’. High quality and cozy as most Russ songs are.
It doesn't quite hold up to the standards of Charlie Barnet's supercharged version, although Russ Morgan's vocal is certainly preferable to the nasally Jackie Martin.

Thank you for sharing this excellent post. I love the recording and your informative notes.
These 78; shellacs are doubly beautiful - first they have beautiful labels, colorful and ornate, and second, the music is gorgeous.
So wait Russ Morgan from Good night my Beautiful and a room with a view is the vocal for this song?
