Whoopee (1928) starred Eddie Cantor and Ruth Edding with songs “Love Me or Leave Me”, “Yes, Sir, That’s My Baby”, “My Baby Just Cares For Me”, “Makin’ Whoopee”. The story: Sally has been forbidden to marry Wanenis because of racial differences. Henry, a hypochondriac, helps Sally elope and then is accused of kidnapping. Even more zany complications ensue. Perfect for Eddie Cantor!
