Another Ruby crack about the colored fellow was -- Sometime ago a songwriter asked Ruby how old the little colored boy was and Harry replied 'oh about Irving's age.'"

We are aware of the existence of only one other copy that belonging to Harold Arlen. Earl Wilson was one of the best known gossip columnists of his day and an authority on Broadway and show business. He often interviewed Berlin including the well-known interview in December 1953 about HOLIDAY INN when Berlin told Wilson: "But the public liked 'White Christmas' and it became a runaway. You see a war song doesn't have to be about wars. This is really a peace song." Wilson and Berlin were longtime friends maintaining a 35-year correspondence. hardcover books
