THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
Looks Like a Sensation!
FOX-TROT SONG SUCCESS
JUNE 9,
1923
THREE NEW POPULAR W1TMARK HITS
"Long-lost Mamma," "Slow Poke" and "Bebe"
All Reported in Wide Demand
HIT/AL\yAYX-,HIT//i'ONLY
Used by Leading Orchestras Everywhere
Among the other popular successes that M.
Witmark-& Sons are taking along with them in
moving from the old Witmark Building on West
Thirty-seventh street to the new modern and
spacious quarters taken over by this firm at
1650 Broadway are three new hits. One of these
is "Long-lost Mamma, Daddy Misses You," a
fox-trot blues song by Harry Woods that looks
like one of the season's big successes. "Long-
lost Mamma" is a bit different and attracts at-
tention. Then there's "Slow Poke," another
real novelty in a slow fox-trot, by Faggen and
Gold, combining some good melody with a hu-
morous twist in the words. There's nothing
slow about "Slow Poke" outside of its title. The
last of the trio of new fox-trot hits is "Bebe,"
by Sam Coslow and Abner Silver, the composer
of such other recent successes as "Angel Child,"
"Say It While Dancing," "Carry Me Back to My
Carolina Home" and "When Will the Sun Shine
for Me"—all Witmark songs, by the way. Pro-
fessionally and commercially, "Bebe," "Slow
Poke" and "Long-lost Mamma" constitute a
healthy trio of popular favorites.
