Notes: ~ from the 1927 London Stage musical "One Dam Thing After Another" and

later in the American Stage musical "A Connecticut Yankee". It was played as

background music in the 1948 Hollywood musical, a biography of Rodgers and Hart,

"Words and Music" in which Mr. Como made one of his few movie appearances.

In 1944 Perry went to Hollywood where he co-starred with Vivian Blaine, Phil Silvers

and Carmen Miranda in his first movie for 20th Century Fox titled "Something for the Boys."

In 1946 he followed with "Doll Face" and "If I’m Lucky." In 1948 he was chosen to appear

with the all-star cast of MGM’s musical "Words and Music."
