Something Had to Happen

(Click on image for a larger version)

This wonderful bit of Art Deco sheet music is from the 1933 Broadway musical Roberta. Roberta is probably best known for launching the career of Bob Hope (check out a piece of sheet music with his picture in our collection). In 1935, Roberta went to the silver screen in an RKO musical starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

The composer is the very prolific Jerome Kern.
