Jimmy Monaco's latest song, "I'm Going to
Follow the Boys," for which Howard Rogers
supplied the words, is proving a decided favorite,
although only on the market but a short time.
Elizabeth Murray, who opened last week at the
Palace, Chicago, wired to Julius P. Witmark,
"Sang 'I'm Going to Follow the Boys' for my
closing number at the Palace here last night.
The song went over immense, and I look for
lots of success with it. Best wishes." The
same day Betty Morgan wired from Duluth that
the song with her was "a riot and the hit of the
act." Grace Fisher is still another who put over
the song with great success. "I'm Going to Fol-
low the Boys" is published by M. Witmark &
Sons.
