The success of Rodgers & Hart's November 1938 Broadway musical The
Boys From Syracuse caused Decca Records to plan a "souvenir album"
of the show's songs. But the label did not employ the original Broadway
cast (even though photographs from the production were displayed on the
album cover). Instead, singers Rudy Vallée and Frances Langford,
backed by an orchestra conducted by Harry Sosnick, were employed to sing
six selections from the score. These included Langford's performance of
"Falling in Love With Love," which became a modest hit as a single.
Langford and Vallée duetted on the show's other big hit, "This
Can't Be Love," as well as the romantic ballad "The Shortest
Day of the Year." The show's comic numbers were missing, making this
a less-than-satisfying collection. But both singers handled the material
that was here well.
