Joe Penner Sheet Music

Joe Penner himself appears on this sheet music for DON'T NEVER DO THAT, also known as YOU NASTY MAN. Those were two of his catchphrases, along with "Wanna buy a duck?"

 

Here is the sheet music inside, which lists Joe Penner among the authors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here we have a copy with the title NASTY MAN with a picture of Alice Fay on it. She sang the song in this movie.

At this point they were trying to make Alice Faye look like Jean Harlow, which is why her eyebrows have that look.

SEASON'S GREETINGS

SEASON'S GREETINGS was a Christmas themed short subject produced by Vitaphone that featured their "female Laurel and Hardy" team, Thelma White and Fanny Watson.

Reblogged from "The Vitaphone Project" on facebook.

Ron Hutchinson:

In November 1931, the Brooklyn Vitaphone studios produced a one reel holiday short, #1307, SEASONS GREETINGS. It starred the top personalities working in Vitaphone shorts at the time: Joe Penner, Thelma White & Fanny Watson, Ted Husing , Mr. & Mrs. Jack Norworth ("The Naggers"), Robert "Believe It Or Not" Ripley, and Janet Reade. I did not know of this short's existence until I saw a brief entry in Roy Liebman's VITAPHONE FILMS book. Some digging turned up a complete print with sound at The Library of Congress. We'll try to get this included in the next batch of preservation/restoration work so it can again be seen. Looks like fun. Here are some frames from the short.

Roach evidently had big hopes for Lyda Roberti, but heart trouble interfered with her ability to work, and she only made a few films for him. ROAD SHOW wouldn't be made until 1941, with Carole Landis.

YOU NASTY MAN Sheet Music

 

 

Alice Faye sang YOU NASTY MAN in her first movie, GEORGE WHITE SCANDALS, and her picture is on the sheet music. Pictures of costars Jimmy Durante and Rudy Vallee are on it as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Don't ever do that!" as well as "You nasty man!" were catchphrases of  comedian Joe Penner.

Alice Faye went on to great success and still has a following today. But Penner's popularity didn't last.
