THE "BLACK AND WHITE" SERIES
Splendid Collection of Songs of All Types Pub-
lished by M. Witmark & Sons—Enjoys Great
Increase in Popularity During Past Year
For many a year, at this season, we have
had occasion to note the remarkable progress
of "The Witmark Black and White Series" and
during the past twelve months there has been
witnessed an extraordinary growth of interest
in the splendid collection of ballads and songs,
sacred and secular, that comprise this series.
rial. To enumerate the features of "The Wit-
mark Black and White Series" would be to
reproduce a catalog. Suffice it to say that the
following titles are representative of the type
of songs that are in most demand to-day: "Kiss
Me Again" and "Gypsy Love Song," by Victor
Herbert; "Mother Machree," "Let the Rest of
the World Go By," "I'll Forget You" and "The
Night Wind," by Ernest R. Ball; "Values," "Ma
Little Sunflow'r, Goodnight" and "The Want of
You," by Frederick W. Vanderpool; "Smilin'
Through," "Sunrise and You" and "The Lamplit
Hour," by Arthur Penn; "Sorter Miss You," by
Clay Smith; and others like "Asleep in the
Deep," "Can't Yo' Heah Me Callin', Caroline?",
"In the Garden of My Heart," "My Wild Irish
Rose," "Spring's a Lovable Ladye," "Starlight
Love," "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling," "Where
the River Shannon Flows," "Just Been Won-
d'ring," "My Jean," "Her Gown," "Wyoming"—
the list seems inexhaustible. Always in demand,
too, are the sacred songs included in this series,
with such numbers leading as "Teach Me to
Pray," "Angel of Light Lead On," "God Shall
Wipe Away All Tears," "Grateful, O Lord, Am
I," "I Come to Thee," "The Silent Voice" and
"It Was for Me."
