...Babes in Arms, and the current I'd Rather Be Right. Their collaboration started when they wrote two Columbia Varsity shows (though Hart had already left Columbia), then drew their first salute from Broadway with the first Garrick Gaieties, in which Hart thumbed his nose at the June-moon school of lyrics, introduced such slick rhymes as the famed...

Dr. Brown remarked with evident amusement that only two extremely...
