"Linger Awhile" Grows
Steadily in Demand
^
Feist Hit, From All Indications, Will Be Among
Big Sellers of Fall Season—Has All Points of
Popularity
There lias not been a whole lot said about
this season's big success, "Linger Awhile,"
probably because there was no need of giving
it publicity, as it ably advertised itself. It is one
of the biggest sellers of the present season and
it is of the type that should live through more
than one season. In fact, "Linger Awhile"
should be among the big sellers during the
coming Fall.
Occasionally we hear it said that some of the
present-day popular offerings arc not worth M)
cents of anybody's money and, of course, con-
sidering present-day ' costs of exploitation and
dealers' overhead, etc., if a song is not worth
30 cents it is not worth being handled by any-
body. If there was ever a popular song worth
30 cents or more "Linger Awhile" is that num-
ber. In fact, a tunc of this calibre could read-
ily sell for more money. It has a good lyric,
an unforgetable melody, it's a wonderful dance
and it is so simple that anybody can play it and,
therefore, it should reach the greatest height in
the point of sales. It has what is commonly
known as "everything." Leo Feist, Inc., is the
publisher.
