The Music Trade Review
New Lehar Number
Announced by Marks
Viennese Composer Writes "My Little Nest,"
a Departure for Him in That It Is a Fox-trot
Franz Lehar, probably the most important
of contemporary Viennese composers, whose
operettas have been as popular in this country
as in Europe, has contributed a song to the
Edward B. Marks Music Co. catalog. It is en-
titled "My Little Nest" (Of Heavenly Blue)
and marks a new departure for Lehar, who has
been chiefly known as a contributor of waltzes
commencing with his "Merry Widow," inas-
much as his newest offering is a fox-trot.
"My Little Nest" is not only a fox-trot, but
it has plainly been adapted to that indefinable
American jazz rhythm. The American lyrics
for the number are by Dr. Sigmund Spaeth
and the combination in song form makes a high
class ballad and links up two important names,
one in Europe and one in America.
The Edward B. Marks Music Co. will make
"My Little Nest" a feature of the Spring cata-
log. The number lends itself readily to a variety
of forms. It probably will attain importance as
a strictly concert number for singers and
doubtless, too, will be played by many instru-
mental artists, but it will get its wider exploita-
tion through the fact that it is an appealing fox-
trot dance.
"My Little Nest" was originally in the comic
opera "Frasquita," in which it was a success, al-
though it appeared under a German title. Later
it is the intention of American publishers to
publish in American form the most beautiful of
the "Frasquita" waltzes as a follow-up to "My
Little Nest."
Interesting New Ballads
Issued by Boosey & Co.
Several Numbers in Latest List Already Being
Featured in Concert by Werrenrath, McCor-
mack and Other Prominent Singers
In announcing a series of new ballads, Boosey
& Co. make a particular feature of "The Little
Things That Tell," the music of which is by
A. H. Behrend, who will be remembered for his
"Daddy" and "The Gift," both of which have
achieved unusual importance and are still active
numbers.
The poem of "The Little Things That Tell"
is by Fred Bowyer and contributes fair share
towards making the number a cheerful, optimis-
tic encore offering. It doubtless will be pro-
grammed frequently during the coming and
many later seasons.
Three songs now being sung by Reinald
Werrenrath are also included in these Boosey
& Co. offerings—the "Tavern Song," a composi-
tion by Howard Fisher; "Tilda," by George L.
APRIL 10, 1926
Hatton, and "Spanish Gold," another Fisher
composition.
No Boosey & Co. list would be complete
without the inclusion of a ballad which has had
its American introduction by John McCormack.
The latest of these is "Through All the Days
to Be," the words of which are by Royden
Barrie and music by Barbara Melville Hope.
Others in this compilation of new issues are:
"A Summer Idyll," music by Michael Head;
"The Light I Love Best," words and music by
John A. Hopkins; "Jardin D'Amour" (Love's
Garden Gate); "March Winds," music by
Marjory Meade; "A Thrush's Love Song,"
words by Fred G. Bowles, music by Alison
Travers, and "Here's April," words by Dena
Tempest and music by Wilfrid Sanderson.
Ernest Ball Scores With
New Song at the Palace
"Let the End of the World Come To-morrow
as Long as You Love Me To-day" Enthu-
siastically Applauded at Every Performance
On the bill of the Palace Theatre last week
one of the headline acts was presented by
Ernest R. Ball and his company of singers and
players. Needless to say, this well-known
American
composer-entertainer
scored his
usual big success, something he has been doing
with great regularity for many years now. Spe-
cial interest was taken in his singing of his very
latest popular ballad success, "Let the End of
the World Come To-morrow as Long as You

Ernest R. Ball
Love Me To-day," with lyric by Paul Cunning-
ham. This is a real Ball type of song, pub-
lished by M. Witmark & Sons, and possesses
all the salient features of his "Love Me and the
World Is Mine" and "Let the Rest of the World
Go By," to mention but two of his long string
of ballad triumphs.
It seems that whenever Ball takes "the world"
for his theme he invariably puts it over with
a bang. This new ballad is no exception to the
rule. It is a simple and effective waltz number
and as sung by the composer at the Palace left
no doubt as to its inclusion in the great list of
Ball hits which have followed regularly one
after the other for many years.
All vaudeville singing acts have been quick
to take a lively interest in the new favorite.
Among those already featuring "Let the End of
the World Come To-morrow as Long as You
Love Me To-day" may be mentioned Maria and
Welsh, Primrose Four, Bronson and Rene, Guy
Bros. Minstrels, Eastman and Moore, Frank
Mullane, Kapt. Kidd Act, Cunningham and
Bennett, Bart Doyle, Mel Craig, Hudnut Sisters,
Runnin' Wild Four, Lewis and Smith and
John O'Malley. New acts are being added.
