Abstract:

Papers of Harry Ruby, a composer, lyricist, and writer of plays and motion pictures, consisting of scripts and music for motion pictures and Broadway musicals. Motion picture files contain scripts for Animal Crackers (Para., 1930), Horse Feathers (Para., 1932), Three Little Words (MGM, 1950), which was based on Ruby's long, successful collaboration with Bert Kalmar, and other films. Theater files include the books for The Five 0'Clock Girl (1927), High Kickers (1941), Lucky (1927), and The Ramblers (1926); and musicals and revues that Ruby wrote in association with Kalmar, Otto Harbach, Guy Bolton, and George Jessel. Also included are manuscript copies of six songs, including Groucho Marx's “Hooray for Captain Spaulding” from Animal Crackers, “Three Little Words,” and “Who's Sorry Now.”
