File:Can't We Be Friends (1929) sheet music.pdf
Lyrics: Paul James Composition: Kay Swift

first of 11 Broadway musicals to feature songs by the team of Arthur Schwartz and Howard Dietz. In its smartness, style, and intimacy (in 1929 a show with 29 in the cast qualified as little), the revue was something of an American counterpart to the British Charlot Revues and This Year of Grace.

"New York s Own Favorite Review": the show's own period marketing line.
