HARRIS NUMBERS GOING BIG
First Edition of "Sweetness" Was Almost Com-
pletely Sold in Advance
Chas. K. Harris announces that "Sweetness"
(Honey Suckle of Mine), Eddie Leonard's smash-
ing song hit, as sung by him at the Palace The-
atre last week, is now ready for the dealers,
nearly the entire first edition of ten thousand
copies having been sold in advance.
Van and Schenck's big song hit, which goes
into the New Century show, is entitled "I Miss
the Old Folks Now." Looks like it is going to
be another "It's a Long, Long Time Since I've
Been Home," made popular by the same sing-
ers. "Scratchin' the Gravel," Jack Yellen and
Charles Pierce's Jazz song success, is well on
its way, and "Dry Your Tears," Chas. K. Har-
ris's new waltz sensation as danced to nightly
by Lucille Cavanagh, looks as though it will be
as popular as the "Merry Widow Waltz" was in
former years.
CANTOR USING FEIST HIT
Eddie Cantor, the well-known star of "Zieg-
feld's Follies," is now featuring "I Don't Want
to Get Well," the new big hit from the catalog
of Leo Feist, Inc.
