This was Ethel Merman's second appearance as herself on That Girl.
At about the 5:00 mark, Donald asks Ethel Merman what her first show was, and Miss Merman replies 'Girl Crazy', (1930) to which Lew Marie remarks 'I remember that show, you played a girl who worked on a dude ranch'.
He should remember that show. The actor who played Lew Marie, Lew Parker, was a featured actor in 'Girl Crazy'. He and Ethel Merman also appeared in Cole Porter's 'Red, Hot, and Blue' (1936). Both shows played the Alvin Theater (now the Neil Simon).
