At the Music Hall: Put that Down in Writing, 1932



Famously featured in the 1938 film “Gold Diggers in Paris” (one of a series of “Gold Diggers” films made by Warner Brothers in the 30s), “Put that Down in Writing” is highly representative of the popular music sensibilities of the Art Deco. The song even incorporates the sound of a typewriter!

Enjoy this version by Ray Noble and His Orchestra which features the always interesting, talented, but wildly unstable pianist/actor/professional-mental-patient Oscar Levant.
