Let Me Call You Sweetheart became a huge hit for The Peerless Quartet when they released the first recording of the popular song in 1910. That original recording of the song was selected for historic preservation by the National Recording Registery in 2016. The song, written by Leo Friedman and Beth Slater Whitson, quickly became a standard and was recorded countless times over the past century. Friedman and Whitson also wrote Meet Me Tonight In Dreamland in 1909. These two songs are amongst the top selling songs in sheet music - an industry that dominated the music business of the time. Let Me Call You Sweetheart had it's very first appearance on the big screen in the 1931 film Old Lace, performed by Ruth Eating. The following year in 1932, in an installment of Max Fleischer's Screen Songs series titled after the song, a 22-year old Ethal Merman performs the song while the bouncing ball leads the audience in a sing-a-long. The the following few years the song appeared again in memorable scenes in The Little Rascals and in Laurel & Hardy's film Swiss Miss.
