Miss Brooks had been primarily a pianist and
not a singer and it was only by accident that
she discovered how well her voice sounded
through the microphone. She is a thorough
musician, having been trained on the piano,
studying several years under the eminent teach-
er, Donato Montano. She appeared on the con-
cert platform as accompanist, following which
she entered vaudeville. Finding this life too
strenuous, about a year ago she joined the staff
of the Edward B. Marks Music Co. Her
familiarity with every class of artist, their style
and appeal, gave her a background for judging
what the public wanted in the way of popular
renditions and her entry into the radio field
brought immediate success.
Among the Marks nuinbers that Miss Brooks
sings so successfully are "Would-ja," "Reaching
for the Moon," "My Little Nest," "Ain't We
Carryin' On," "Wallflower" and "Nice Girl."

Two New Penn Ballads
Arthur A. Penn, writer and composer of some
of the most successful ballads in America dur-
ing the past few years, has recently placed for
publication with Harold Flammer, Inc., two de-
lightful songs, the words and music of which
reflect this writer in an unusually happy mood.
The first of these new publications is a typical
Arthur Penn ballad, of the sort that made his
big successes like "Smilin' Through," "The
Magic of Your Eyes," "Sunrise and You," "The
Lamplit Hour" and others so popular. Its title
is "I Know a Low White Cottage." The other
Flammer offering by Mr. Penn is a delightful
song in yet another vein entitled "Mistress
Margarita." Both are, like all Mr. Penn's
work, finely melodious and will appeal strongly
to all singers who seek something a little "dif-
ferent" and yet contain all the elements that
make for universal appeal. Mr. Flammer on his
coast-to-coast tour this Summer is featuring
these Penn songs among the leaders in his
catalog.
