The musical "Take A Chance" opened November 1932, played for 243 performances, and starred Ethel Merman and Jack Haley. Songs included this one, plus "Turn Out The Light," "Rise 'n' Shine,"...
Ethel Merman belts out the bawdy ballad "Eadie Was a Lady" -- with the lyrics considerably toned down for TV!
Eadie Was A Lady ~ 1933 ~ With Lillian Roth . Look for an un-billed and uncredited young Vivian Vance singing a brief verse to a man on the stairs. I am unable to verify this, however.
