Arthur composed the two-act musical A Lady Says Yes (1945), which is set in 1545 and 1945 and takes place in Venice, Washington D.C., and China.
[3] His song "Invitation to the Blues" with lyrics by Doris Fisher, was used in the film Tootsie (1982) and has been recorded by Julie London.
[4] Arthur said in a 1972 interview with Robert Kimball and Alfred Simon that when he was a child, he was George's pal and went around with him more than Ira did.
[5] Frances said of Arthur that he played by ear and "his rhythm wasn't that great."
I am glad to hear that he is writing a lot of tunes and I hope that he can find a market for some of them.
