In Remembrance....

After the success of “Face the Music,” in 1933 Irving and Moss Hart collaborated on another Broadway show, but this time it was just a review, without a plot. The theme was the Depression. Irving was wary of writing a review, but the show ran for over a year and became a huge success. It was a massive moneymaker for Irving.
Sing these words to the melody that everybody knows: “Smile and show your dimple...” That was the title of this song in 1917 when Irving first jotted it down. He gave it a new set of lyrics for the show and created his most memorable song. It became so successful that MGM built an entire movie musical around it in 1948 from the Arthur Freed unit. This is from the movie.
