Proving Decidedly Popular
"Dear Heart," the great success from the cat-
alog of C. C. Church & Co., Hartford, Conn.,
appears not only to be a hit as a song but is
making
rapid
strides for leader-

would appear that
it is to be a popular
summer dance se-
lection. The follow-
ing is a letter from
F. L. Lambert, an orchestra leader of Glens
Falls, N. Y., who writes:
"Used it the other night for a grand ball and
had requests for it at least six times and noth-
ing doing, but they would stand in the middle
of the floor and yell 'Dear Heart,' so I can truth-
fully say that it is one of the best hits out this
season, and I'm sure it will last, too."
The sales of "Dear Heart" have been increas-
ing at a fast rate. Besides being a success as
a song and dance number it is issued with such
an attractive title page that its sales are in-
creased by displaying the number.
Herewith
is reproduced the title page of "Dear Heart."

well as one of the most versatile song writers of
the present generation. He has to his credit
such popular successes as "Peg o' My Heart,"
"I'm on My Way to Mandalay," "Lorraine" and
"My Beautiful Alsace Lorraine," and such com-
edy numbers as "Wee, Wee Marie," "They Go
Wild, Simply Wild, Over Me," "When I Get
You Alone To-night," "There's a Little Bit of
Bad in Every Good Little Girl," and several
other equally popular numbers.
The inspiration for "The Red Lantern" song
came to Mr. Fisher on a recent Pacific Coast
trip. While stopping in Los Angeles he met a
friend who was directing the Nazimova screen
production of "The Red Lantern." Fisher was
told the story, and also read the scenario, after
which he wrote the song (words and music)
over-night. The song was submitted to Richard
A. Roland and Maxwell Kanger in the New York
office of the Metro Picture Corporation, both of
whom were delighted with the composition and
immediately made arrangements to have the
number featured in connection with their pic-
ture.

appears so promising that Meyer Cohen has had
several very attractive offers to dispose of the
sales rights.
The song was originally introduced by
Charles King at the Century Theatre, New
York, and Bernard Granville closely followed
by adding it to the numbers of his vaudeville
program. During the recent Victory Loan drive
it was featured with great success by the Vic-
tory Loan workers, demonstrating its timeli-
ness. Herewith is shown the thematic of the
chorus, which is snappy and tuneful, and in
keeping with the very original lyric.
