This song was recorded for the 1938 20th Century Fox film "Alexander’s Ragtime Band" with music by Irving Berlin. Berlin also wrote the book (with some other writers). "Alexander's Ragtime Band" was 20th Century Fox's highest grossing film of the 1930s and was nominated for six Academy Awards, winning the award for Best Music, Scoring.

 

I am not sure who the intended audience was for this record. Does anyone know more about how this type of record may have been used? Leave comments if so.

 

The YouTube video comments has more information on the label that made the record.
