Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Collection of five musicals from the 1940s and '50s. 'Annie Get
Your Gun' (1950) stars Betty Hutton as backwoods sharpshooter Annie
Oakley. Plucked out of obscurity by Buffalo Bill (Louis Calhern),
the rough-edged Annie is groomed for a leading role in Bill's world
famous Wild West show. However, Annie has a rival in the form of
rifleman Frank Butler (Howard Keel), a man she soon falls in love
with. Songs include 'Anything You Can Do' and 'There's No Business
Like Show Business'. In 'Easter Parade' (1948) Fred Astaire plays
one half of a dance team who is ditched by his partner. Deciding he
can make a star out of anyone he wants, he chooses a lowly chorus
girl (Judy Garland) as his new partner. Songs include 'A Couple of
Swells', 'Stepping Out With My Baby' and 'Shaking the Blues Away'.
In 'Calamity Jane' (1953) Doris Day stars as the famous
frontierswoman, who would rather hit targets than chase men - until
she falls for 'Wild Bill' Hickok (Keel). However, he would rather
shoot Indians than chase after a tomboy like Calamity Jane. Songs
include 'The Black Hills of Dakota' and the Oscar-winning 'Secret
Love'. 'High Society' (1956), based on 'The Philadelphia Story'
play by Philip Barry, stars Grace Kelly as socialite Tracy Lord
who, even as she prepares for her second marriage, still has
obvious feelings for her ex-husband (Bing Crosby). She also strikes
up a friendship with a reporter (Frank Sinatra), who has been sent
to cover her society wedding. Songs include 'Who Wants to Be a
Millionaire' and the famous Crosby/Sinatra duet 'Well, Did You
Evah'. 'Meet Me in S.Louis' (1944) follows Esther Smith (Garland),
a young woman from St. Louis who falls in love with the boy next
door. The film is set in 1904, when the city hosted the World's
Fair. Songs include 'Meet Me in St. Louis', 'Have Yourself a Merry
Little Christmas' and 'The Trolley Song'.
