    Best version of I’ll be Seeing You has to be by Jimmy Durante:

    “Be kind to your dentist; he has fillings too.”

    “Don’t take life too seriously; you’ll never get out of it alive.”

    “Keep a smile on your face and a song in your heart, and you’ll never be too old to play the part.”

    “My wife has a slight impediment in her speech. Every now and then she stops to breathe.”

    “I always have a quotation for everything; it saves original thinking.”

    “Be what you is, ’cause if you is what you ain’t, you ain’t what you is.”

    “In this age of information, ignorance is a choice.”

    “Good night, Mrs. Calabash.”

    I remember seeing movie made in the 1930’s that refered Jimmy Durante’s nose as a “Schnoz” including 1934’s Hollywood Party where he played “Schnarazan”.

    Warner Bros. made several cartoons that poked fun at Durante’s nose, including “Book Revue” (1946). He was shown on the cover of a book titled “So Big” (1924) and used his nose to trip the big bad wolf into “Dante’s Inferno.”

    Probably the person on that portrait intended it to be lost.
