246 Broadway Melody of 1938 (1937)

- For the number ``Your Broadway and Mine'', the set is decorated with the
names of Broadway stars from the 1910s and 1920s. When Alice (played
by 'Sophie Tucker' (qv)) starts talking about former times, Tucker's
name can be seen at least twice in the background.
- The song ``Dear Mr. Gable'' was a birthday present for 'Clark Gable' (qv)'s
36th birthday. Composer and arranger 'Roger Edens' (qv) adapted the
old song ``You Made Me Love You'' by 'James Monaco' (qv).
It was sung at Gable's birthday party by a young 'Judy Garland' (qv).
Producer 'Louis B. Mayer' (qv) was so impressed by it, that he gave order to
let Garland sing it again in the next great musical MGM was going to produce.
