28 THE NEW YORK CLIPPER February 28, 1917 SAYS: JACK NORWORTH IS ON HIS WAY TO CHICAGO with his big Song Hit, "MY BOY." Yes, he wrote it. If you want to use it—you will have to get JACK'S permission. GEORGE M. COHAN'S 'There's Only One Little Girl and One Little Flag for Me" is the big red blood Yankee Doodle song of the year. Cohan's songs are all big time songs. .*-' That Big Time star, Raymond Hitchcock, has invaded the west with Harry Tiemey's best melody song, "Sometime," and all Chicago is waiting for Hitchy and "Sometime." That wonderful Big Time team, Rock and White are at the Royal Theatre this week, where Frances White is teaching the customers her famous spelling song, "M-I-S-S-I-S- S-I-P-P-I." Harry Tierney, Bert Hanlon and Benny Ryan wrote it. This song is restricted for the act of Rock and White. J. J. Rosenthal, Jr., son of Jake Rosenthal and Katherine Osterman, has written a song, "We're Glad We've Got You, Mr. Wilson." It was sung in "Watch Your Step" at the Bronx Opera House last week and was a knockout. Get it quick. Don't wait until the other fellow beats you to it. In Brooklyn this week a young lady named Mae Marvin put on our new ballad, "Turn to the Right." This girl is on her way to big time. If you want something out of the ordinary for a dancing act, don't overlook Maude Nugent's "The Donkey Trot." It's the biggest cabaret number in town. Great for dumb acts. It's one of those Doyle and Dixon things. We also have a number of high class ballads that would fit nicely in a Carnegie Hall concert. Our two new novelties by Milton Ager, "He's a Hard Boiled Egg" and "The Blushing Bride and Groom," are restricted for productions. Any time we ran be of service to you in the way of a little chatter or a special song, it's your for the asking. Would be pleased to hear from all artists using our songs. We want to give you publicity. "Come Over, Come Over, Come On Over Here, Ifs a Wonderful Place" Wm. Jerome Publishing Corp.
