Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Day made her Broadway debut in Pom-pom in 1916. Three years later she became a major star playing the title role in Irene. Five months into the run, she departed the cast to create the role in the London production. Embraced by the London critics, she decided to remain there after the show closed and went on to become the first lady of West End musicals, with triumphs in Rose Marie, The Desert Song, and Show Boat.

Introduced to this song in 2nd Grade Glee Club by the Good Sisters of St. Joseph of Chestnut Hill in 1959. They were women of that generation who had, as young girls, been familiar with the popular tunes of the day, before entering the convent. Their tastes seemed to freeze the day they took their vows.

On HBO's Boardwalk Empire there's a scene where Edith Day performs Alice Blue Gown at Nucky Thompson's birthday party.

Thanks...I guess any gal named Alice back then would get a little tired of the "Alice" jokes....I was always "Smelly Kelly." Alice Blue Gown doesn't sound too bad!!! Cheers!

bill3murr was talking about a friend of his by the name of Alyce who disliked this song. I guess she used to get teased a lot as a kid.

I've always loved this song, but....your mysterious (to me) comment about Alyce...could you enlighten me? This is just the kind of "tidbit" I love. Thanks, as always, for your wonderful postings!

This is such a sweet song...love it. Did you know that this song is used in a Poirot mystery? Look up here on Youtube "Five Little Pigs 7/10" and you'll hear this song used in a beautiful memory sequence at 4:57.

I'm a huge Edith Day fan. Always good to hear this or any of her records.

It's hard to find music her and this is the only disc I own by her. I will be posting the flip side.
