Line 18: The show was billed as “A Musical Comedy of Palm Beach and Golf” and was set at The Everglades Club, Palm Beach, Florida. It was a showcase for Eddie Cantor, who played the caddie master at the swank club. He gives golf lessons on the side, with crooked balls so the clients need more instruction. He’s also a bootlegger and a busybody. He can’t be fired, however, because he has something on everyone at the club. The most famous song to come out of the show was “Dinah” by Sam M. Lewis, Joe Young and Harry Akst, added to the finale during the run for Eddie. During the run in New York City, inventor [[Lee DeForest]] filmed Cantor in the [[Phonofilm\|DeForest Phonofilm]] [[sound-on-film]] process, in a short film known as ''[[A Few Moments with Eddie Cantor\|A Few Moments With Eddie Cantor, Star of "Kid Boots"]]''. In 1926, [[Paramount Pictures]] released a feature film version of ''Kid Boots'' directed by [[Frank Tuttle]], and starring Cantor, [[Clara Bow]], and [[Bessie Love]].<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0017028/ IMDB entry]</ref> ==Songs== Line 56: * Alabamy Bound (words by [[Bud DeSylva]] and [[Bud Green]], music by [[Ray Henderson]]) * Dinah (by [[Sam M.
