On the Bill

 

She starred as Julie LaVerne in the original Broadway production of Hammerstein and Kern's musical Show Boat in 1927, as well as in the 1932 Broadway revival of the musical, and appeared in two film adaptations. -- Wikipedia  


Miss Morgan had more than one turn

At the role of Miss Julie LaVerne;

We remember her still

For the way she sang “Bill”

And other great standards by Kern.
