Irving got the standing "O" in 1942 when "This is the Army" premiered on Broadway, and Irving came on stage in his World War I doughboy uniform and sang "Oh How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning."
He got a 15 minute standing "O" and stopped the show. But that's a story that will come up in a few months.
