The Song of the Moment
"KEEP THE HOME-

('Till the Boys Come Home)
"You Know Me, Al," Presented by Soldiers of
the New York Division, Highly Praised—
Some Excellent Music in the Score
"You Know Me, Al," the musical farce writ-
ten, played and produced by the soldiers of the
New York Division (27th U. S. A.) and which
played for ten days to capacity houses at the
Lexington Theatre will in all probability make
a road tour.
If there be any doubt as to the success of the
show, a few excerpts taken from some of the
New York papers should set them aside:
The New York American says: Soldiers give
stage real surprise. "You Know Me, Al" had
without doubt the biggest and most interesting
premiere of the season. Nothing like it has ever
been seen in New York and anything that fol-
lows it must miss the piquance of this pioneer
presentation by the boys.
The audience could scarcely remain in their
seats, so great was the enthusiasm. The play
itself was a triumph in plot, songs, dancing,
staging and personnel.
Some of the music was exquisite. The most
striking numbers were "My Heart Belongs to
the U. S. A.," "Bring Back That Yams Dance
to Me," and "I Want the Boys Around Me."
Any one of the three would put life into a
Broadway production.
The World said: New York soldier boys
show is a sure-fire hit. "You Know Me, Al"
is the best musical comedy in New York.
The song hits of the show are published by
Leo Feist, Inc., and are as follows: "Broadway
Girl," "My Little Loving Baby Mine," "My
Heart Belongs to the U. S. A.," "Bring Back
That Yama Dance to Me," "Garden of Love for
Two" "I Want the Boys Around Me" and "I'm
Going Back to Mobile, Alabama."
TWO NEW FEIST NUMBERS
"France, We Have Not Forgotten You" and
"Djer-Kiss" Just Issued by That House
Among the new songs which have been issued
by Leo Feist, Inc., recently is a new patriotic
number entitled "France, We Have Not Forgot-
ten You," by Grant Clarke and Milton Ager,
and a new waltz entitled "Djer-Kiss." The latter
number is also from the pen of Milton Ager
and is according to some members of the Feist
organization one of the best instrumental pieces
released in some time. The number is to be
issued with an exceptionally attractive title
page which is being furnished by the distributers
of Djer-Kiss products, and who also gave spe-
cial permission for the use of the name.
