Sheet Music inscribed and signed: "For Claire/Best wishes from/your OLD friend/Chas Buddy Rogers/1988", 6p, 9x11¾.

In the year he made this film, which also starred Carole Lombard, Rogers appeared in four additional feature films: Young Eagles, Heads Up, Paramount on Parade and Follow Thru. Charles "Buddy" Rogers (1904-1999) played with a California-based swing band in the 1930s, but was better known for his films. He debuted in the silent film Wings (1927), which won the first-ever Oscar as best picture. That same year the actor who would be known at the peak of his popularity as "America's Boyfriend" was paired with "America's Sweetheart", Mary Pickford, in My Best Girl. In 1937, Rogers became Pickford's third and last husband. In later years he would often act as spokesman for his increasingly reclusive wife. His other films include Abie's Irish Rose (1928), Young Eagles (1930), Golden Hoofs (1941) and his last starring role, An Innocent Affair (1948).
