I’ve Told Every Little Star Sheet Music Kern Hammerstein Theater Issue

Original theater-issue sheet music for “I’ve Told Every Little Star," with words by Oscar Hammerstein II and music by Jerome Kern.

This song was written for the 1932 Broadway musical "Music in the Air" and later featured in the 1934 Hollywood film of the same name, starring Gloria Swanson and John Boles. The front cover features an authentic promotional movie still of Swanson and Boles, making this a highly desirable Hollywood-era promotional piece rather than a common store-sold edition.

Unlike standard retail copies, this version was produced for movie-theater distribution and lobby piano use. The back cover displays a trumpet-blowing theater barker illustration and lacks retail advertising, confirming it as a studio promotional / theater-issue copy used to promote the film to audiences.

These were typically used, worn out, and discarded, making surviving examples significantly scarcer than music-store editions.
