into country-wide favorites—the splendid ballad,
"When the Sun Goes Down," and that little
gem of melody and sentiment, "Nobody Else,"
a number surely destined to equal in popularity
his "Smilin' Through."
In addition, he has added two one-act
operettas to his string, both of-which are already
much sought after by high schools, colleges and
amateur organizations generally. "The Middie
Maids" is the first of these, written for girls,
but quite capable of being played by boys or
both sexes. The other is for girls only, a
charming and whimsical fancy called "The
Flowers That Bloom in the Spring." Besides
these, Mr. Penn is also responsible for a humor-
ous short cantata for adults or young people,
called "A Song of Sixpence," which is a genuine
novelty and typically Penn in text and music.
Music supervisors in the schools who find Mr.
Penn's "Sing Along" so useful a number will
be interested also in his remarkable setting, re-
cently published, of Kipling's "Recessional,"
issued by Witmark under the title of "Lest We
Forget." Mr. Penn has given the schools some-
thing here that is thoroughly practical and
highly interesting.
"Remember" Has Won
an Immediate Success
Number, So Widely Sung, Went Ahead of Pub-
lishers' Plans for Its Exploitation
Irving Berlin's latest song, "Remember," has
been accepted by many critics as musically his
best. Despite the fact that it is hailed as a musi-
cal offering of an unusual standard for a pop-
Arthur A. Penn, whose compositions are pub-
lished exclusively by M. Witmark & Sons, has
added several big successes to his brilliant list
during the past year, both in standard ballads
and operettas. In addition he has seen his
staple successes become steadier still and in
even bigger demand—songs, for example, like
his "Smilin' Through," "Sunrise and You," "The
Lamplit Hour," and so on; and his fine operettas
led by "Yokohama Maid," "The China Shop,"
"Captain Crossbones" and "The Lass of Lim-
erick Town."

hit of the current "Chariot's Revue." He is
also noted as the writer, with Ernest Ball, of
the million-copy seller, "All the World Will Be
Jealous of Me."
"Twas Only an Irishman's Dream" and "A
Fool There Was" were some of Dubin's other
hits, and his latest composition is "The Lone-
somest Girl in Town," written in collaboration
with Irving Mills and Jimmie McHugh. Al
Dubin is a member of the American Society of
Authors and Composers and is one of the best-
liked writers in Tin Pan Alley.
"Honeymoon Waltz," published by the Tri-

Victor records. This number is showing indica-
tions of being one of the most popular waltzes
of the season.
