VARIETY 31 THIS HARRY VON TILZER YEAR Harry Von Tilzer has been writing song hits for the past fifteen years. But never in his career has he had so many great hits as at the present time. We do not mean hits on paper, but real, live hits that get you encores and keep you booked up for the season. That's the kind of hits you want to raise your salary. You've got to sing songs to please the public, not music publishers, if you want to make a hit, and you will always get them if you will follow the lucky house. Besides our present big hits, we are advertising for the first time, MABEL McKINLEY'S MARCH BALLAD HIT: HARRY VON TILZER MUSIC PUBLISHING CD.
