not confined his work to any one class of songs.
Some of his works include: "Songs of the Norse-
land," "Eyes That Used to Gaze in Mine,"
"Romany Songs," and "Where My Caravan Has
Rested." He has also with equal facility turned
out Irish numbers such as "The Two Little
Irish Songs," "Songs in Exile" and "The Irish
Girl." Mr. Lohr is under exclusive contract to
write for Chappell & Co., Ltd., an arrangement
that has proven most satisfactory to both
parties.

ISSUES TWO MARCH SONGS
Al Piantadosi Enthusiastic Over Recent Re-
leases
Al l'iantadosi announces two new songs, "May
Heaven Bless Your Wedding Day," a march
song with a lyric that carries a new idea for that
type of song, and set to a melody that will do
much to make it one of the successes of. the Al
Piantadosi & Co., Tnc, catalog. "Good-bye
Mary Ann McCue" is the other late release.
In speaking of this song Al Piantadosi said:
"Sounds like an ordinary title but you can't
judge a book by its cover. Mary Ann McCue
is the biggest Irish march ballad published in
some time."
NEW STERN & CO. BALLAD
Jos. W. Stern & Co. have a new high-class
number, just off the press, but which has al-
ready carved a deep impression where it has
been heard. It is called "Dearest Eyes." As a
love song it has genuine charm and it is accepted
by all as an addition to the Stern catalog which
is up to the usual high standard.
C. R. WARFEL GOES TRAVELING
Charles R. Warfel, traveling representative of
Hinds, Hayden & Eldredge, Inc., left the latter
part of this week for a two month's trip, call-
ing on the trade. Mr. Warfel's trip will include
stops in the South on his way to the Pacific
Coast.
