The Baritone!

June 18, 1903 to June 18, 2003

He rescued her twice in Naughty Marietta !

 

He chased her and caught her in Rose Marie

 

He loved her and died for her in Maytime !

He stole a kiss and her heart in Girl of the Golden West!

 

He wrote her love notes in Sweethearts!

 

He wed her on a tropical island in New Moon!

 

He eloped with her to Vienna in Bittersweet!

 

He dreamed her and then he won her in I Married An Angel!

 

Now they are together singing among the angels!
