Jerome Kern co-wrote it*, but no,
it was introduced on stage in 1933
by a female singer/actress.

Bob, she was the one who sang it in the 1935 film version, but the mighty rubelline nailed it with the first name of the person who first sang it in the stage version!!! So, what about the last name. LOL

I searched high & low and came up with this. Looks like it's Swann nee Drasin. (According to IMDB) smile
