I thought the Leo Reisman was the only tasteful American version of this. The Ol' Maestro called it right on this chestnut!

I have a copy of the purple sheet music shown at 1:30. It's very attractive.

Ben Bernie's orchestra played exclusively at the Hotel Roosevelt in Manhattan from its opening in September, 1924, until 1929.

You have Rudy Valentino(swoon) there (last photo) from "Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse" (silent film) kissing the hand of pretty Alice Terry! Good show! Thanks!

Thanks for posting this! Great version. If you ever find Spike Jones version...the last line is: "I kiss your hand, Madame, because i can't stand your breath".

It is the garlic that prompted the Spike Jones version.

I assume that its Richard Tauber in the picture. He recorded this too, Great song and vocal.

The Roosevelt Hotel I know is in the heart of New York, but perhaps there's another in H'wood.
On another note, the kissing of a woman's hand is so charmingly European; funny it should take on an American accent.
