New Musical Comedy, With Music by Rudolf
Friml, Arrives on Broadway
Fox-trot Version of Instrumental Success Is
Proving Very Popular
Local Association Holds Dinner at Hotel Mc-
Alpin Annex This Week
On Monday evening of last week "June
Love," a new musical comedy, with a book by
Otto Harbach and W. H. Post, based on "In
Search of a Sinner," by Charlotte Thompson,
with lyrics by Byron Hooker and music by
Rudolph Friml, opened at the Knickerbocker
Theatre, New York. This show succeeds the
big success, "Mary," and, according to the local
critics, "is a musical comedy lifted a little above
the average by the lyrics of Byron Hooker and
the Friml music, as well as bythe voice of Else
Alder and the legs of Johnny Dooley."
The lyrics for "June Love" come in for par-
ticular mention and the whole is painted "as a
musical gem that will certainly play a New York
engagement throughout the Summer months."
Mr. Hooker's songs have prompted Friml to
sc me tuneful and agreeable music and have
character and real rhymes to add to their gen-
eral appeal.
Among the songs which are particularly pleas-
ing are: "Dear Love, My Love," "Somebody
Like You," "June Love," "Don't Call Me Dear,"
"The Flapper and the Vamp." Harms, Inc.,
publish this score.
"Haunting," originally issued as a waltz num-
ber by the Robert Norton Co., has been orches-
trated in fox-trot rhythm by Lee Terry. In
this form it is featured by Joseph Smith's Plaza
Orchestra; Natzy's, at the Biltmore; Benson's
Orchestra, of Chicago, and the Meyer Davis
Orchestra, of Washington. Leo Friedman, gen-
eral manager of the above company, is now mak-
ing a two weeks' trade trip covering the cities
of Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and
Pittsburgh.
The Greater New York Publishers' and Deal-
ers' Association held a dinner on Wednesday
of this week at the Hotel McAlpin Annex. An
address was made by Major La Guardia and
Albert Spalding, the well-known American vio-
linist, honored the occasion with his presence
and a. short speech.
