Porteriana: "LEAVE IT TO ME!"

Speranza

Song:

"My heart belongs to daddy"

Porter bounced back with a string of hits well into the war years -- although the scores were far below the quality of earlier work.

The Spewacks had an enormous success with their George Abbott face BOY MEETS GIRL.

LEAVE IT TO ME! was in the same vein.

Victor Moore for once had a better role than Gaxton (who was getting a little past the age for romantic leads) and gave one of his funniest performances.

Red-hot Sophie Tucker played in her only musical comedy role.

And Mary Martin overshadowed them all in her Broadway debut, with the auspicious, "My heart belongs to daddy" striptease.
