Gus Edwards has pulled his musical trigger
again and scored another instantaneous popular
song hit. The Pacific Coast has risen en masse
to give an uproarious greeting to his "Morning,

ing it and dancing to it morning, noon and
night, with little or no let-up. The craze started
when Gus Edwards himself appeared in his
"Song Revue" at the Orpheum in San Francisco
and gave tremendous prominence to this new
number of his, which is published by M. Wit-
mark & Sons. In fact, "Morning, Noon and Night"
is the big numlber of the act and its choruses
are done over and over again in all sorts of dif-
ferent ways. After the first performance at the
Orpheum practically every orchestra and dance
leader in town lost not a minute in featuring
this melodious number, both as a dance and in
various cabaret reviews. One of the most re-
markable demonstrations of all occurred at the
huge Winter Garden on the occasion of the
American Legion Dance. Special arrangements
were made whereby Gus Edwards and his en-
tire company appeared here and sang "Morn-
ing, Noon and Night" to a crowd of 5,000 dancers.
It was the talk of the town. The accompanying
picture gives some idea of the crowd at the
Winter Garden that applauded the new Gus Ed-
wards hit. The composer-singer and his boys
and girls may be seen in the immediate fore-
ground. Several very striking window displays
in San Francisco and Los Angeles featured this
new "find." Among them was Johnston's Ye
Harmony Shoppe, in Los Angeles, whose win-
dow was entirely devoted to the song.
SECURE RIGHTS TO OLD TITLE
Jerome H. Remick & Co. have arranged for
the right to the song title, "Daddy, Won't
You Buy Me a Bow Wow?" which was a fa-
miliar tune two decades ago. It is understood
that Sidney Mitchell and Lew Pollack will write
a new song with that title for the new Century
Roof production.
