ENGLISH BALLADS POPULAR
Chappell-Harms, Inc., Catalog Contains Many
Numbers of This Type
The popularity of English ballad successes in
the United States seemingly increases from
year to year and confirmation of this view may
be gleaned from a review of the activities dur-
ing the present year in the Chappell-Harms,
Inc., catalog.
Early in the year they released two songs, en-
titled "The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise,"
words by Eugene Lockhart, music by Ernest
Seitz, and "I'd Build a World in the Heart of
a Rose," words by Worton David and music by
Horatio Nicholls, which have become so popu-
lar that to-day they are being used by many
concert artists and numerous vocal teachers in
the United States and Canada.
"Where the Lazy Mississippi Flows," waltz
song, we need hardly mention, as everybody
knows of the success of this charming Southern
waltz melody, which is now one of the favorites,
and, from present indications, bids fair to en-
joy that position for some time.
"Smile Through Your Tears" is a musical gem,
a song of intense feeling, beautiful lyrics and
appropriate accompaniment.
"The Mill by the Sea" (by the composers of
the now famous song, "The Bells of St. Mary's")
is a splendid song and a rival for honors.
Recently they released two other beautiful
songs, entitled "Sometime, Dear Heart, Some
Day" and "Some Day You Will Miss Me."
The latest release by this concern is "There's
Silver in Your Hair" (But There's Gold Within
Your Heart).
We have also been advised that the late Ivan
Caryll's new show, entitled "Little Miss Raffles,"
with book by Guy Bolton and lyrics by Clifford
Grey, appears to be one of the best scores that
he had written in recent years.
SECURES OLD CATALOG
Joe Mittenthal, Inc., one of the newer music
publishing organizations, has taken over the
rights for an old catalog owned by Will D. Cobb
and Gus Edwards, which includes several num-
bers which were quite popular twenty years ago.
In addition, several new numbers by these writ-
ers will be published, including "When Eyes
Meet Eyes" and "Tell Her at Twilight."
