Louis Weslyn and Neil Moret have written a
new song entitled "Rose of Romany." The num-
ber is one filled with a swinging melody that
lends itself admirably to dance purposes and will,
without doubt, make itself popular. The song
is looked upon by professional singers as a find,
and the number of vaudeville acts who have al-
ready decided to use it demonstrates it will be
a favorite. The number is being placed in the
high class catalog of the firm and it, together
with their number, "Sunshine," which has al-
ready received some popularity, will be featured
during the next few months. Daniels and Wil-
son are the publishers.
