• • Directed by Wesley Ruggles, this Paramount Pictures favorite was originally released with great fanfare on 6 October 1933 — — 76 years ago.
• • And it was on 7 October 1933 when Mae recorded "They Call Me Sister Honky Tonk" for the Brunswick label.
• • Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, composer Harvey Brooks [1899 — 1986] wrote all the numbers that Mae fans associate with this box office blockbuster, which also featured handsome Cary Grant.
• • Harvey Brooks's sassy song compositions included "I'm No Angel," "They Call Me Sister Honky Tonk," "[No One Loves Me Like] That Dallas Man," "I Found a New Way to Go to Town," and other numbers.
• • Brooks collaborated on these tunes with two lyricists: Gladys DuBois and Ben Ellison.
• • Ben Ellison [1902 — 1984] hailed from Pennsylvania as well. Unfortunately, there is scanty info on female ASCAP member Gladys DuBois.
• • Lion-lady Tira in New Jersey • •
