"I'm Just Wild About Harry" Popular With the

Boston Publisher Devotes Window for Week to
the Works of the Famous American Composer
One of the surprises of the present season is
The Oliver Ditson Co., of Boston, Mass., re-
the recognition being given to the song, "I'm cently devoted the largest of its Tremont street
Just Wild About Harry," from the musical
comedy, "Shuffle Along." While this number was
one of the original offerings in the above suc-
cessful show, which had over a year's run at the
Sixty-third Street Theatre, New York, there
were several other numbers in the' score which
previously had absorbed all the popularity.
The publishers, M. Witmark & Sons, while
valuing the number, had exploited several other
titles from the show, including the well-known
"Baltimore Buzz."
"I'm Just Wild About
Harry," however, has on its own initiative made
a place for itself among the season's most suc-
cessful songs.

cess Mary, who gave her first ball at Chesterfield
House, had arranged a musical program com-
posed of American jazz and semi-jazz pieces. Of
the twenty-two numbers in the program "I'm Just
Wild About Harry" was the hit of the evening
and many newspapers in England commented
upon the number in their headlines.

of handsome title pages, including songs, song
