Short Skirts - Song

An interesting cultural artifact from the beginnings of the feminist movement (on a popular level) from 1930 Pittsburgh, PA.  The song was a companion piece to a matching Pittsburgh Post-Gazette news series.  It is odd, very dated, but revealing nonetheless.  The composer Sammy Mysels was recorded by Artie Shaw, The Inkspots, and Anne Shelton, (all still available via the internet as CD's or downloads - see the Naxos and IMDB websites) and a cursiory internet biography search reveals very little about him: born November 17, 1906 in Pittsburgh, and he dies in 1974.  His music is noted as having been used in film and television including The Lawerence Welk show and several 1940's singing cowboy westerns some starring Gene Autry.  Several online Jazz 78 collection catalogs list his works recorded by various artists in the 1930's and 40's.  He frequently collaborated with other composers when writing (a common practice then and now in pop-music).  The Lyricist, Joe Hiller, may be a psudenomn for Kim Josephson.  Joe Hiller is found on a large variety of sheet music online or in collections dated from 1915 to the early 1950's.  FAQ's website listed Hiller/Josephson's death as 1954.  I cannot vouch for the realibility of this information.  Hopefully an obit. for either or both can be located to those who may be interested in this item.
