New Fred K. Steele
Number Is Popular
"Yep, 'Long About June," by Billy Heagney,
Being Featured in Vaudeville and Over the
Radio
Fred K. Steele, Inc., has scored another hit
with its new song, "Yep, 'Long About June."
The number was written by Billy Heagney,
staff writer for the house, who is the composer
of "Ev'ry Little While," "Close To Your
Heart" and "Bells of Hawaii." The immediate
popularity of the song is attributed partly to
the radio, over which it has been featured by
Billy Day on the Cavelcade House, on WEAF,
and by Yates and Lawley and Colin O'Moore
and Frank Kamplain on WJZ. Mr. Steele has
left for a New England trip due to the interest
being displayed in the number on vaudeville
circuits in that territory.
A special review
produced by John Murray Anderson for the
Masonic Convention in Boston is also featur-
ing the song.
