"I Wish I Had My Old Gal Back Again" Wins
Immediate Popularity Both as Ballad and
Dance
The Ager, Yellen & Bornstein number, "I
Wish I Had My Old Gal Back Again," is one
of the outstanding successes of the present sea-
son. Not only is it having a wide appeal as a
ballad song of the old-fashioned type, but it has
been given a dance arrangement that has added
considerably to its popularity. The branch
offices and various representatives of the Ager,
Yellen & Bornstein organization as well as its
departments in its executive headquarters at
745 Seventh avenue, New York City, are all en-
gaged in furthering the interest of this number.
