SENSATIONAL SONG H I T S
YOU'RE STILL AN OLD SWEETHEART OF MINE
I'M FOREVER BLOWING BUBBLES"
SOME S U N N Y D A Y "
TILL WE MEET A G A I N "
The following letter is being sent to the music
dealers of the country by the D. W. Griffith
organization, the producers of the motion pic-
ture success, "Broken Blossoms," now playing
at the Cohan & Harris Theatre, New York:
Several songs bearing the title "Broken Blos-
soms" are being offered to music dealers
throughout the country as representative of D.
W. Griffith's production of the same name.
For your protection and guidance I take this
opportunity to warn you that the only song
entitled "Broken Blossoms" based on Mr. Grif-
fith's motion picture of that name is the ballad
by Robert Edgar Long and Louis F. Gottschalk,
published by T. B. Harms and Francis, Day &
Hunter, and featuring on the front cover a
photograph of D. W. Griffith and a scene from
"Broken Blossoms," showing Miss Lillian Gish
and 1 Mr. Richard Barthelmess.
The melody of the authentic "Broken Blos-
soms" ballad is part of the musical score of
Mr. Griffith's production, and no other composi-
tions of this title are authorized by this office.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert Edgar Long.
FIFER NUMBERS POPULAR
Four Recent Publications That Are Meeting
With Success
The C. Arthur Fifer Music Co., Quincy, 111.,
the publishers of "T've Got a Little Home in
the Country," are having good success in giving
that song publicity. The idea of the number
is quite original, the lyric being by that well-
known writer, Harry D. Kerr. The music is
by C. Arthur Fifer and orchestrations, both full
and small, have been done by Gene Platzman,
the well-known arranger. The orchestra leaders
have received the number most favorably and
the publishers hear frequently from leaders who
comment upon the success they are having
with it.
Besides the above and "When You're Lonely,
So Lonely, Just Drifting," a syncopated ballad,
and "Just For a Place In Your Heart," the com-
pany are the publishers of a thirty-cent success,
entitled "Wonderlove." This latter, a waltz
song by Harry Tandler, of the Los Angeles
Symphony Orchestra, also has a lyric by Harry
D. Kerr and is one of the most active numbers
of the catalog.

GRIFFITH USES WITMARK NUMBERS
Popular Irish Singer Meeting With Great Suc-
cess on the Pacific Coast
Gerald Griffith, who recently reached the
Pacific Coast after a most successful tour in
Australia, is repeating the success there which
followed his foreign engagement. He is being
hailed in some quarters as a second Chauncey
Olcott, his voice having a purity such as Olcott
had in his prime. His personality is a most
engaging one and the critics are receiving him
enthusiastically everywhere. In his present rep-
ertory are such favorites as "Mother Machree,"
"When Irish Eyes Are Smiling," "My Wild
Irish Rose," "Have a Smile for Everyone You
Meet," "The Gates of Gladness," "You're Mak-
ing a Miser of Me," and "That Wonderful
Mother of Mine"—all from the catalog of M.
Witmark & Sons. It is not settled in what field
Mr. Griffith will eventually appear in the East,
but there is a strong probability that he^ will be
featured in a new Irish play of the caliber that
Chauncey Olcott has starred in for many years.
Sig. Romberg, prominent composer, has ar-
ranged to go into vaudeville with Charles Pur-
cell as partner.
