BUILDS STORY O_N_WAR SONG TITLES
Broadway Music Corp. Brings Out New Num-
ber That Shows Much Promise
Demand for Old Harris Song Keeping Up—The
New Fall Offerings
One Writer Weaves the Popular Numbers of
the Day Into Some Clever Paragraphs
One of the best "girl" songs issued this sea-
son is the new song published by the Broadway
Music Corp. entitled "Watch, Hope, Wait, Lit-
tle Girl" (Till I Come Back to You). It has
a very pretty melody, and, as the title suggests,
has a touch of the soldier boy in the lyrics. The
sales and professional staff of the above firm
are very enthusiastic over the merits of the
number and as a matter of fact the advance
orders have been very heavy. Many talking
machine and player roll companies have already
recorded the song, and in many ways it is show-
ing promise of being the firm's big fall song.
The words of the above number are by Lew
Brown, and the music is from the pen of Will
Clayton.
Chas. K. Harris, the well-known publisher,
who, at the outbreak of the war, revived his
"Break the News to Mother," stated recently
that the number is still much in demand, despite
the fact that its sales totaled several hundred
thousands during the past year. This unusually
large sale of an old song, together with the fact
that the fall catalog is showing lots of life, has
been the means of keeping the Harris staff busy.
Among this year's numbers, especially popular,
are "Under the Blue Skies of France," "Bring
Back Those Bygone Days to Me," "The Allies
Flower Garden Ball," "Sweetness" (Honey-
suckle of Mine) and "Smile When I'm Leaving"
(Don't Cry When I'm Gone.)
Some ambitious writer, with plenty of time on
his hands, has lined up the popular war songs
of the day in the following story which should
be rather interesting, particularly to those pub-
lishers whose songs are included. It reads:
"When the Kaiser Does the Goose Step to a
Good Old American Rag," "Bring Back the
Kaiser to Me" at the time when "We Wind the
Watch on the Rhine." "The Kid Has Gone
to the Colors," "So It's Good-bye Broadway,
Hello France,"'but "There's a Service Flag
Flying at Our House" because "Somewhere in
France" is "Khaki Bill," "A Mother's Liberty
Loan."
All this leads to "A Baby's Prayer at Twilight
for her Daddy Over There" being a prayer for
the other "Boys Over There," and for the
"Mother" to "Keep the Home Fires Burning"
until "The Yanks Come Marching Home."
The "Dream of a Soldier" boy in a hospital
who is "In Love With a Beautiful Nurse" is
that he "Don't Want to Get Well." He "May
Be Gone for a Long, Long Time," but we "Send
Him Away With a Smile" for "We're Going
Over," and "We Won't Be Back Until It's Over
Over There."
All this is merely the effect that the war has
had upon our popular song writers, who are
"Doing Their Little Bitty Bit Right Now" while
the "Rag Time Volunteers Are Off to War."
And all of Lawrence as well as all of the United
States will join them in singing "How We Love
You, Dear Old Glory" "When the Boys From
Dixie Fat Melon on the Rhine."
TO PUBLISH NEW SONG
Meyer Cohen will shortly publish a new song
called "God's .Service Flag of Love," by Rachel
Story and Leo Wood. The number carries an
entirely new idea and has created much favor-
able comment among those who have heard it.
TO RELEASE NEWJNOVELTY SONG
Al I'iantadosi & Co., Inc., will shortly release
a new novelty song entitled "I Love Her and
She Loves Me." The number is much in de-
mand by professional singers who seem to think
it one of the best songs of its kind issued this
season.
A PROMISING REMICK SONG
Jerome H. Remick & Co. recently published
a new song entitled "Till We Meet Again,"
which gives every indication of developing into
a big success. The professional department has
been working hard on the song, with the result
that it will be heard on practically every stage
in the country during the next few months.
"Till We Meet Again" is a ballad, with un-
usually attractive lyric and melody, the words
being by Raymond B. Egan, and the music by
Richard Whiting, who already have a number
of successes to their credit.
INCORPORATES NEW COMPANY
