Ina Ray Hutton And Her Melodears - Medley Stardust/Organ Grinders Swing

Ina Ray Hutton was born Odessa Cowan, in Chicago, on March 13, 1916. Her professional career began early, when in 1924, she appeared, as a young tap dancer, with a revue produced by Gus Edwards. By 1934, she was appearing in several Broadway shows, including George White's "Melody" and the Ziegfeld Follies. It was also in 1934 that Ina Ray, with the help of Irving Mills, began organizing her Melodear orchestra.

I'm selling this show as a music program ...

but if curves attract an audience, so much the better.
