Alice Blue Gown (McCarthy-Tierney) by Frankie Masters & his Orchestra, vocal by Marion Francis

First popularized by Edith Day in the 1919 smash Broadway musical hit “Irene,” “(My Sweet Little) Alice Blue Gown” enjoyed some renewed success in 1940 when RKO released their movie adaptation of “Irene” which starred Anna Neagle and Ray Milland. The “Alice blue” of the song is a reference to the pale blue color favored by Alice Roosevelt Longworth (Teddy Roosevelt’s daughter).

THE 1940 HITS ARCHIVE - a collection of commercial recordings and songs that proved popular during the calendar year 1940 (some were recorded in 1939) via sales, sheet music, and radio exposure.…plus some others that have gained increased recognition or have been shown to have had an impact during the decades that followed.
