Carolina Blues

Opening schtick, band leader Kay Kyser as himself, sax-player sidekick Sully Mason, Jeff Donnell as publicist "Charlotte," comic Ish Kabibble, Victor Moore as industrialist "Carver," and singer Georgia Carroll, who had just become Mrs. Kyser, in Columbia's Carolina Blues, 1944.

At the wartime Carver shipyard Julie (Ann Miller), daughter of the boss, can't get the fake Kay Kyser (Doodles Weaver) on stage, resorts to doing her own bit first, song by Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn, not recognizing the real Kyser when he shows up, the first number in Carolina Blues, 1944.

Band leader Kay Kyser's intro, surprised to see Ann Miller replacing his usual vocalist, song by Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn, named for the columnist and bon vivant Lucius Beebe, dancer Harold Nicholas stealing it, with singing Layson Brothers and hoofing Four Steps, in Carolina Blues, 1944.
