of "Then Game the Dawn"
New Love Ballad, Recorded by Gene Austin
on Victor, Proving a Quick Hit
Business has been rushing in the establish-
ment of Gene Austin, Inc., New York, since the
release of the second edition of "Then Came
the Dawn," with a new title-page
containing a large photograph of
Gene Austin, well-known Victor
artist and head of the publishing
firm. Mr. Austin, whose Victor
records often sell over the mil-
lion mark, has made a Victor
recording of "Then Came the
Dawn," No. 21564, which is backed up by the
Feist number, "Jeannine, I Dream of Lilac
Time." Dealers all over the country have al-
ready stocked up on this record and indications
are that it will be as big a seller as Gene Aus-
tin's record of "Ramona" and '.'Blue Heaven"
of last season, both of which sold well over a
million.
Marty Bloom, general manager of the firm, is
confident that he has another winner in a new

song to be issued shortly, entitled "Wear a
Hat with a Silver Lining," by Al Bryan and Al
Sherman, the latter being composer of "Dew,
Dew, Dewy Day." Mr. Bryan also has given
the music business hit after hit of this type of
novelty song, and the lyrics of his last effort
are among the best he has ever done. Harry
O'Brien, sales manager of Gene Austin, Inc.,
is completing a trip on the road, and reports
enthusiasm on the part of professionals and the
trade for both songs.
"Would You Care?" Reissued
by Charles K. Harris
Former Harris Ballad Success Proving Popular
With the Public in the West
Charles K. Harris, veteran composer, who is
still very much in business as a publisher at
701 Seventh avenue, New York, is again having
the experience, w T hich is quite usual with him,
of having one of his former song hits fall back
into popularity. This time it is a ballad called
"Would You Care?" which enjoyed an extended
period of popularity some twenty years ago.
The song is being reissued on an elaborate
scale by M-r. Harris and his organization, as
the result of a sudden demand for the number,
which started recently in the West.
The manner in which it was revived was as
follows. A single singer liked the song, "Would
You Care," and began to sing it in theatres and
places of entertainment around Denver. The
song was also broadcast, and requests began to
come in for it in music stores all over this
region. To meet this demand so strongly
evidenced through the telegrams sent by deal-
ers it was reissued.
