In 1937, The Peters Sisters also appeared in the movies "Ali Baba Goes To Town" and "Love And Hisses." And, in 1938, they may have been in the movie "Happy Landing," it is not known for sure or, if so, their segment may have been cut.

Listen to "Don't Ever Lose Whatever It Is" - The Peters Sisters - 1937. (You'll hear them dancing in this song.)
