TWO SUCCESSFUL NUMBERS.
"If All My Dreams Were Made of Gold, I'd
But the World for You," a new ballad with words
by J. F. Bradley and C. F. Quigley and music by
George Christie, composer of "Baby Rose," and
"My Todalo Man," with words by J. Brandon
Walsh and music by Al. G. Brown, are two strong
Witmark numbers that are meeting with success
and which are being used by many professionals in
both the minstrel and vaudeville fields.
"1913
G R E E T I N G S "
The following are songs
from our Popular Department,
to which we respectfully
draw your attention:
"That Italian Serenade,"
"If Every Star Was a Little
Pickaninny",
"I Don't Care Whose Girl You
Were, You're My Girl Now",
"I just Met The Fellow Who
Married The Girl That I
Was Going To Get",
"That Dramatic Rag",
"Brass Band Ephraham Jones",
"Killarney, My Home O'er
the Sea",
"Call Me Daddy, That's All".
They are the ones which
we, at this time, think are
going to be the "winners"
for 1912.
Add these to the already
splendid list of "FEIST
SELLERS".
The seed is planted!
Watch it grow!
Reap the harvest!
