New "Mother" Song
by J. Will Gallahan
"The One That I Love Best on Earth," Pub-
lished by the Standard Publishing Co., Cin-
cinnati
Ballads with mother for the theme are not at
all uncommon, but it is only now and then
that songs of this type get into the hit class, and
whenever one does the secret of success is
uuually found to lie in some clever lyric, ex-
pressing true sentiment, without being senti-
mental, linked to a tuneful melody that brings
out that sentiment. This seems to be the case
in a song just issued by the Standard Publish-
ing Co., Cincinnati, and entitled "The One
That I Love Best On Earth." The lyric is by
J. Will Callahan, author of many song hits,
and the music by G. K. and M. M. Sturgis, two
new writers whose tuneful melodies are begin-
ning to attract attention. The fact that this is
the first secular song issued by its publishers,
who for the past sixty years have been publish-
ing sacred music and song books exclusively, is
evidence that in this song they saw great possi-
bilities for not only commercial success, but for
the influence for good that a wholesome popular
song often exerts. Band soloists, concert and
radio artists are already featuring the number,
and a nation-wide campaign of exploitation is
being planned by its publishers.
Sings New Presser Song
In a recital at Bay View, Mich., recently given
by John Barnes Wells, lyric tenor, a new song,
"The Roses in the Garden," was one of the
outstanding numbers on his program. Its pres-
entation was greeted with prolonged applause
by the large audience assembled in the John M.
Hall Auditorium. The number, one of the re-
cital type, is by J. Will Callahan, lyricist, and
Frank H. Grey, composer, and is among the
