ERNEST BALL BACK IN TOWN
The Song and Dance Triumph of the Country
Noted Composer Appears in Royal Theatre
After Tour of the Country—Original Compo-
sitions Winning Great Success- Everywhere
The Royal Theatre in the Bronx staged a
royal welcome last week to Ernest R. Ball on
bis return to the metropolis after an eight
months' tour of the country, during which he
met with uninterrupted success wherever he
appeared.
With Mr. Ball traveled his accomplished wife,
Maude Lambert, and everywhere the act of
Lambert and Ball was billed a veritable ovation
was accorded them. The duo appeared in every
house over the entire Orpheum Circuit, working
from the East through to th^ Pacific Coast and
back again. Newspapers in every city where the
act was headlined printed laudatory notices.
The climax of this tour was reached at the
Royal on Monday last. Following their engage-
ment at the Royal, Lambert and Ball will play
all the New York Keith houses, including, of
course, the Palace.
The Ball songs featured in the act were the
greatest successes of their vocal offerings. "Let
the Rest of the World Go By," sung as a duet,
has been a veritable clean-up everywhere. This
remarkably clean, appealing little ballad is a
recognized'hit. Its sales are phenomenal and it
takes rank as one of the biggest of the many
ballad hits for the music of which Ball is re-
sponsible. It possesses, moreover, elements of
longevity that put it in the staple class, and its
publishers, M. Witmark & Sons, anticipate that
the demand for it will be indefinite. Another
song of Ball's that is also a big and firmly estab-
lished favorite is "Dear Little Boy of Mine."
This Miss Lambert is still singing. In both
these songs M. Witmark & Sons unquestionably
possess a couple of richly-flowing musical oil-
fields, which are already paying very substan-
tial dividends.
