Release Date

I'm not sure where the release date of "August 17, 1930" comes from--probably unsourced from IMDB? Looking through ProQuest's free article abstract for the Boston Globe (http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/boston/), Chicago Tribune (http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/chicagotribune/), Washington Post (http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/washingtonpost_historical/), and the L.A. Times (http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/latimes/), it was released by the end of May 1930 in all cities, except Chicago, where it was released in June. The New York premiere was May 2, 1930, which I cited. Therefore, I've changed the "release date" to reflect the earliest premiere date, which was April 19, 1930, according to the L.A. Times.

Composer/lyricist of "Happy Feet"

Can someone please establish who the composer and lyricist of the song "Happy Feet" is/are?

I know Paul Whiteman and his orchestra performed this, but I can't find anything definitive to establish these credits. It's starting to drive me up the wall.

Can someone please provide something we can hang our hats on?

Thanks

Presenting your congenial host, Count Dracula.

Copying an editor's note I embedded in the night-shrouded vault of the text into the light of day here:

Béla Lugosi is said to have been the MC of a Hungarian version, but I know of no concrete evidence to support the claim, which I found in the archives of an online vintage film discussion group that includes several well-known researchers in the mix. Lugosi was at Universal in 1930-31, so it seems perfectly plausible. If true, it would also be his first color film. Was there a Hungarian version? Does any of it survive? Perhaps worth investigating.
