Music of Rio Rita

PostTue Jul 03, 2012 5:43 pm

Songs from this picture must have achieved terrific popularity, if the Rio Rita sheet-music offered on ebay is any indication of sales; there's seldom a week when at least one of the numbers from the show isn't listed. All the sheets I've seen feature the same rather bland image: a senorita in a sombrero...which looks not at all like Bebe Daniels, if she was the intended representation. But I just acquired a sheet published in England I've never seen before, which includes music for 7 songs; Bebe looks incredibly young...and beautiful: (Note also Ideal Studio's answer to MGM's "Leo.")

I love all of the songs from this musical, you can get all of the numbers (i think) from ebay, it has a senorita with the right side of her face showing as she looks up. Did Ethelind Terry get good reviews as Rita?
