...Arthur Schwartz (music) and Dorothy Fields (lyrics), but Actress-Singer Booth puts a few of them over with a fine, plaintive twang that helps explain the success of the Broadway production. Best tunes: I'd Rather Wake Up by Myself, Lottie Gibson Specialty, both sung by Booth, and Coney Island Boat, sung by the chorus while Booth at the same time sings In the Good Old Summertime to form one of those two-headed duets (e.g., You're Just in Love, from Call Me Madam...
Says Schulman: "On that week-long missionary jaunt, when the sea got rough and the craft started to heave and roll through the reefs like a Coney Island roller coaster, the Gospel-quoting skipper began to sing My Heart Is Full of Joy. I joined in-the best seasickness preventive yet." Faced with one fast-breaking story after another, the Schulmans spent Christmas in their hotel, finally moved into a house on the first of the year.

Cheerful George Argus, 25, went to work on the Alaskan Railroad during a summer vacation five years ago, liked it, and stayed to take his degree in geology at the University of Alaska.

The next day they started down along the conventional north route instead of the South Buttress; it was, they knew, far easier and safer-but not really safe...
...high jinks rather slow down, too. But while Shirley is dancing a clog and singing In the Good Old Summertime against Composer Schwartz's Coney Island Boat, or while she is riding with Wilbur Evans through the Tunnel of Love, or going up in a Fourth of July balloon, it is all very festive. And when Mae Barnes lets go with Happy Habit, or sparks the second act with Hang Up, it is all very fine. Arthur Schwartz's score is pleasant; there are some lively Tamiris dances and attractive Mielziner sets. The show needs more boardwalk...
