NEW WITMARK SONG MAKING A HIT
ROSSITER MAKES CHANGE
Song From the Pen of Horace Wright and
Rene Dietrich Promises to Set Popularity
Record in Witmark Biack and White Series
CHICAGO, I I I . , January 28.—Harold Rossiter, in
an announcement made to-day, states that after
having been a partner in the Ted Browne Music
Co. for the past five years he has turned over
his interests in that company to Mr. Browne,
who will continue to operate it. Mr. Rossiter
will devote his entire time in the future to the
Harold Rossiter Music Co., the growth of which
has made this move imperative.
"The Little White House With the Little Red
Roof Tucked Away in the Heart of the Hills" is
the title of a new.song recently added to the
Witmark Black and White Series. It is being
sung by the writers, Horace Wright and Rene
Dietrich, who are now appearing in vaudeville
and the reception the number receives at each
rendition marks it as one that will prove as
popular as anything in the series.
Wright and Dietrich in private life are Mr.
and Mrs. Horace Wright, and it is said that the
building of such a little house to which they are
to retire at the end of their present vaudeville
tour is the consummation of a dream of many
years' standing.
