Seven Numbers That Are to Be Classed as Hits
and Others Coming Fast
• Among the songs that the firm of Shapiro,
Bernstein & Co. are now featuring are, "Three
Wonderful Letters From Home," "Paul Revere"
(Won't You. Ride for Us Again), "Long Boy,"
"Lafayette" (We Hear You Calling), "Belgian
Rose" and "Cheer Up, Mother." All the above
numbers and another one "Liberty Bell," pub-

hit and big sales class. The following numbers
in the firm's catalog are also being heard from
frequently, and as some of them are quite new
they will probably be among the popular songs
of the coming season. They include "One Day
in June," "A Little Bit of Sunshine From
Home," "Down the Trail of the Old Dirt Road"
and "Who'll Love You While I'm Gone?"
