The writing and publishing partnership continued until 1930. The 1956 Hollywood film The Best Things in Life Are Free, starring Gordon MacRae, depicted the life of the DeSylva, Brown and Henderson team.

DeSylva relocated to Hollywood and went under contract to Fox Studios. During this tenure, he produced movies such as The Little Colonel, The Littlest Rebel, Captain January, Poor Little Rich Girl and Stowaway.
