Kalmar and Ruby, songwriting team. Lyricist‐librettist Bert Kalmar (1884–1947) began his career as a child magician in tent shows and later appeared in vaudeville. In 1923 he teamed with New York–born composer Harry Ruby [né Rubinstein] (1895–1974), who began his career as a vaudeville pianist. The team created the songs for
Helen of Troy, New York (1923), followed by such hits as
The Ramblers (1926),
The Five O'Clock Girl (1927),
Good Boy (1928), and the
Marx Brothers vehicle
Animal Crackers (1928). After a brief Hollywood career in the 1930s, they were last represented on Broadway by
High Kickers (1941). Among the many memorable Kalmar and Ruby songs are “All Alone Monday,” “Thinking of You,” “I Wanna Be Loved by You,” and “Hooray for Captain Spaulding.”
