haunting fox-trot melody. By the writer of
"Oh, Lady, Stop Rolling Your Eyes," Eddie

I'VE BEEN A-LONGIN' FOR YOU—Fox-
trot song that is sweeping the country. Three

number made an exceptional hit with McCor-
mack's admirers and thousands of people in the
big auditorium joined in the words. "The Bare-
foot Trail," it is understood, is to be programmed
by McCormack in all his concerts prior to his
departure to Australia.
Boosey & Co., the publishers of the number,
have planned a big campaign among concert and
vaudeville artists for the purpose of having them
include "The Barefoot Trail" in their repertoire.
A big campaign will be inaugurated also in trade
and other circles.
