1933
The Kiss Before the Mirror
The Kiss Before the Mirror is a 1933 American Pre-Code mystery film directed by James Whale, starring Nancy Carroll, Frank Morgan, Paul Lukas and Gloria Stuart.
James Whale
James Whale (22 July 1889 – 29 May 1957) was an English film director, theater director and actor.
 He is best remembered for his four classic horror films: "Frankenstein" (1931), "The Old Dark House" (1932), "The Invisible Man" (1933) and "Bride of Frankenstein" (1935).
 Whale also directed films in other genres, including what is considered the definitive film version of the musical "Show Boat" (1936).
 He became increasingly disenchanted with his association with horror, but many of his non-horror films have fallen into obscurity.
Charles D. Hall
Charles D. Hall ( April 20, 1888 – April 8, 1970) was a British-American art director and production designer.
 He is perhaps best remembered for his tenure at Universal Pictures, where he began his career during the silent era.
 He was art director for many of Universal's most famous productions of the 1920s and '30's: "The Phantom of the Opera" (1925), "All Quiet on the Western Front" (1930), the original Bela Lugosi "Dracula" (1931), the original "Magnificent Obsession" (1935), and the 1936 "My Man Godfrey" among them, as well as eleven films directed by James Whale, including the original Boris Karloff "Frankenstein" (1931), "The Invisible Man" (1933), "Bride of Frankenstein" (1935), and the 1936 film version of "Show Boat".
 Hall also worked on the 1929 part-talkie film version of "Show Boat", directed by Harry A. Pollard. Show Boat (1929 film)
Show Boat is a 1929 American romantic drama film based on the novel "Show Boat" by Edna Ferber.
 It is not, as has been often claimed, based on the Kern-Hammerstein stage musical, although the film does have songs.
 This version was released by Universal in two editions, one a silent film for movie theatres still not equipped for sound, and one a part-talkie with a sound prologue. Sound of Redemption: The Frank Morgan Story
Sound of Redemption: The Frank Morgan Story is a 2014 documentary film directed by N.C. Heikin.
 The film focuses on Frank Morgan, a jazz saxophonist and the protégé of Charlie Parker.
 Funding for the film was partially raised through a successful Kickstarter campaign. Port of Seven Seas
Port of Seven Seas is a 1938 drama film starring Wallace Beery and featuring Frank Morgan and Maureen O'Sullivan.
 The movie was written by Preston Sturges based on the plays of Marcel Pagnol and the films based on them, and was directed by James Whale (director of "Frankenstein" and "The Invisible Man").
 The cinematography is by Karl Freund, who filmed Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" and "I Love Lucy". Laughter (film)
Laughter is a 1930 American pre-Code film directed by Harry d'Abbadie d'Arrast and starring Nancy Carroll, Fredric March and Frank Morgan. Howard Marsh
Howard Marsh (1888 - 1969) was a leading Broadway tenor of the 1920s.
 He created the role of Baron Franz Schober (not Franz Schubert) in Sigmund Romberg's operetta drawn from Schubert's life and music, "Blossom Time", in 1921, and that of Prince Karl Franz in the original 1924 production of Sigmund Romberg's operetta "The Student Prince".
 Marsh also played Gaylord Ravenal in the original 1927 Broadway production of Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II's "Show Boat".
 He played Ravenal only in the original production of "Show Boat", not in any of the revivals, and never appeared in films or on television.
 Despite appearing in three musical theatre smash hits over a span of seven years, Marsh made his last appearance in a new show in 1930, "The Well of Romance", opposite his "Show Boat" co-star, Norma Terris.
 After that, he appeared in major roles on Broadway in 1930's revivals of some Gilbert and Sullivan operettas.
 He made no recordings of the songs that he sang either in "The Student Prince" or "Show Boat", but he did record some of those Gilbert and Sullivan selections.
 None of his recordings has appeared on CD as yet.
 Marsh was born August 16, 1888 in Bluffton, Indiana. Bill (song)
"Bill" is a song heard in Act II of Kern and Hammerstein's classic 1927 musical "Show Boat".
 The song was written by Kern and P.G. Wodehouse for their 1917 musical "Oh, Lady!
 Lady!!
" for Vivienne Segal to perform, but withdrawn because it was considered too melancholy for that show.
 However, when Kern and Hammerstein were at work on the serious and somewhat tragic "Show Boat", they decided that the song would be perfect for a nightclub scene in the show.
 Hammerstein revised Wodehouse's original lyrics somewhat (though he would always give full credit to Wodehouse for the song and take none for himself), and the song was given to real-life nightclub singer Helen Morgan, who portrayed the mulatto Julie in "Show Boat", to sing.
