Harry and Eva Puck were a brother and sister act between circa 1898 and 1911, when Eva left the act to marry. Eva Puck (1892 -1979) married Sammy White, and they formed the act "Puck and White." In the original production of Show Boat, Puck and White played Frank Schultz and Ellie May Chipley. The Puck and White routine "Opera versus Jazz" was filmed by Lee De Forest in the Phonofilm sound-on-film process (1923), and is now preserved in the Library of Congress. Eva Puck also appeared in many Broadway musicals as a solo act.Harry Puck (1891-1964) composed songs such as "My Parcel Post Man" (1913), in honor of the U.S. Postal Service's introduction of parcel post service, and "The Foot-Warmer" (1914). Like his sister, he appeared in many Broadway shows as a solo performer.

Show Boat is a 1936 film. Directed by James Whale, it is based on the musical Show Boat by Jerome Kern (music) and Oscar Hammerstein II (script and lyrics), which the team adapted from the Show Boat by Edna Ferber.
In 1929 Universal Pictures had filmed the part-talkie Show Boat. Carl Laemmle, head of Universal, had been deeply dissatisfied with that film, and had long wanted to make an all-sound version of the hit musical. It was originally scheduled to be made in 1934, but plans to make this version with Russ Columbo as the gambler Gaylord Ravenal fell through when Columbo was killed that year in a shotgun accident, and shooting of the film was rescheduled. The film, with several members of the original Broadway cast, was begun in late 1935 and released in 1936
