"SOMEBODY'S BOY AWAY OUT THERE"
Excellent New Song by Esrom and Morse to
Be Released by Leo Feist, Inc.
"Somebody's Boy Away Out There," the song
which Leo Feist, Inc., recently accepted from
the authors, D. A. Esrom and Theodore Morse,
will shortly be released. The number has been
highly praised by a number of very prominent
musicians who seem to think the writers have
written a song which will have great popularity.
The number has a melody that lingers in the
minds of those who hear it, and as for the
words they are entirely different from the
usual run of lyrics.

The American version is by Ruth Boyd Ober.
