supports: Harry Warren (born Salvatore Antonio Guaragna, December 24, 1893  September 22, 1981) was an American composer and lyricist. Warren was the first major American songwriter to write primarily for film. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song eleven times and won three Oscars for composing "Lullaby of Broadway", "You'll Never Know" and "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe". He wrote the music for the first blockbuster film musical, "42nd Street", choreographed by Busby Berkeley, with whom he would collaborate on many musical films. Bert Lahr (born Irving Lahrheim, August 13, 1895  December 4, 1967), was an American actor, particularly of stage and film, and comedian. Lahr is principally known for his role as the Cowardly Lion, as well as his counterpart Kansas farmworker Zeke, in "The Wizard of Oz" (1939). He was well known for his explosive humor, but also adapted well to dramatic roles and his work in burlesque, vaudeville, and on Broadway. A song, most broadly, is a single (and often standalone) work of music that is typically intended to be sung by the human voice with distinct and fixed pitches and patterns using sound and silence and a variety of forms that often include the repetition of sections. Written words created specifically for music or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs in a simple style that are learned informally are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers for concert or recital performances. Songs are performed live and recorded on audio or video (or in some, cases, a song may be performed live and simultaneously recorded). Songs may also appear in plays, musical theatre, stage shows of any form, and within operas. Gold Diggers of Broadway is a 1929 American Pre-Code musical comedy film directed by Roy Del Ruth and starring Winnie Lightner and Nick Lucas. Distributed by Warner Bros., the film is the second two-color Technicolor all-talking feature-length movie (after "On With the Show", also released that year by Warner Bros). Alexander "Al" Dubin (June 10, 1891  February 11, 1945) was an American lyricist. He is best known for his collaborations with the composer Harry Warren. Winnie Lightner (September 17, 1899  March 5, 1971) was an American stage and motion picture actress. Perhaps best known as the gold-digging Mabel in "Gold Diggers of Broadway" (1929), Lightner was often typecast as a wise-cracking gold-digger and was known for her talents as a comedian and singer. She is also noted for introducing the song "Singin' in the Bathtub" in the 1929 motion picture "The Show of Shows". Vaudeville is a theatrical genre of variety entertainment. It was especially popular in the United States and Canada from the early 1880s until the early 1930s. A typical vaudeville performance is made up of a series of separate, unrelated acts grouped together on a common bill. Types of acts have included popular and classical musicians, singers, dancers, comedians, trained animals, magicians, strongmen, female and male impersonators, acrobats, illustrated songs, jugglers, one-act plays or scenes from plays, athletes, lecturing celebrities, minstrels, and movies. A vaudeville performer is often referred to as a "vaudevillian". "You're the Cream in My Coffee" is a popular song. It was published in 1928.  Hold Everything is a 1930 American Pre-Code film . It was the first musical comedy film to be released that was photographed entirely in early two - color Technicolor . It was adapted from the DeSylva - Brown - Henderson Broadway musical of the same name that had served as a vehicle for Bert Lahr and starred Winnie Lightner and Joe E. Brown as the comedy duo . The romantic subplot was played by Georges Carpentier and Sally O'Neil . Only three songs from the stage show remained : `` You 're the Cream in My Coffee '' , `` To Know You Is To Love You '' , and `` Do n't Hold Everything '' . New songs were written for the film by Al Dubin and Joe Burke , including one that became a hit in 1930 : `` When The Little Red Roses Get The Blues For You '' . The songs in the film were played by Abe Lyman and his orchestra . The Show of Shows is a 1929 American Pre-Code musical revue film directed by John G. Adolfi and distributed by Warner Bros. The all talking Vitaphone production cost $850,000 and was shot almost entirely in Technicolor. "The Show of Shows" was Warner Bros.' fifth color movie; the first four were "The Desert Song" (1929), "On with the Show" (1929), "Gold Diggers of Broadway" (1929) and "Paris" (1929). ("Song of the West" was actually completed by June 1929 but had its release delayed until March 1930). "The Show of Shows" featured most of the contemporary Warner Bros. film stars, including John Barrymore, Richard Barthelmess, Noah Beery, Sr., Loretta Young, Dolores Costello, Bull Montana, Myrna Loy, Chester Conklin, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Tully Marshall and Betty Compson
