COOK, Two pretty warm days last week, accord- ing to the meteorological records, but, be- lieve me, there were seven of 'em In the Wll- mnrk uptown song-mart. In the rush of buslnoRS nnd the scramble for real, live hits, two Important discoveries resolve thcmsclvcn Into Incontrovertible facts. Thin Is a hlgh-falutla' way of expressing myself, hut you'd feel the sumo wny if you know whut I do nhout those two facts. Roys —and .girls—I refer to the big things doing ■with our two snrc-flre. bnng-ln-the hull'n-eyo hits. "Sprinkle Mo with Kisses" nnd "Sweet Kentucky Lady." Many lli.> «oni» that the performer llk,"i that doesn't make the same Impression on tho public. "Sweet Kentucky Lady" Isn'c on-i of them. No, sir. Every singer doing this little gem comes In or writes In with the same story: "The people like It." The other day I dropped lulo a big vamle- Tllle house In town and listened lo a Wit- mark Hong thot I plnced with this net—a big diiuhlorJ'wny buck Inst Hummer. They were gnoil.ft^iuls of mine, nml I meandered hack ,und tnjlied "Kentucky Liitly" to them till 'they were crnxy to hear It. It was after offlcp hours, so we nil went Into Churchill'::, mid there Elsie Ward wns gmsl enough to «lve a "demons! ml Ion" of the song, and a eoiiplc of thousand merry-sis'kers iih well, ltcsult: The double Is now putting "Ken- tucky Lndy" over as the big fenlure. We have solved (he Chinese problem, too. Here's no less a potentate thnn I.nl Men Klin, the Chinese l'rlnce, singing tbls Hung an In the milliner horn, and If' that Is not eunuch, dnlnly little'Lndy Hen Mai Is tlicro with II, ton. Ileurv Rudolph, the vagrant lennr, Is nn- flther vlcllm to the clinruiH «f Iho Ki-niucky ditly, hut lie's nut con tent wllh one good thing—he wauls three, mid gels 'em. Ills oilier two nre "A Llltle Hit of llenven" (oh, whnt a song Hint. Is!) and "Mother jlnehrce." Hand me the Webster, hoy, and let's get busy plcklug out the ndjectlvcs. Why? Ik 1 - .cause I want to talk about "Sprlnklo Ho ■wllh Kisses " I enn't help It If wo have to work on two big lilts simultaneously ; thesa llilugH Just happen, that's nil, and It's all In the gnmc. All the big nc:s are going nfter this one. Moreover, every prominent mid- night revue In New York bun got "Sprinkle" on the bill, and If you want to know why, Ktny up one night nnd go revuelng. Hnby Helen follows Into Pittsburgh with "Sprinkle." following right on the heels of Evelyn Nenblt. while Will Ward and blf girls Just revel In It at the Itoyal. The Intent of the revues to Inclnue "Sprinkle" In response to popular rlniilor Is Tom llcaly's, nt Sixty-sixth Hlre-t. At Churchill's, the Xela Misters put It over. In the meantime, "A Little Hit of Heaven" Ib breaking Its own and other records. Among the Intent bindllnern to sing this beautiful sung arc Ore re Fisher (also dolnr "Sweet Kentucky Lady" and "In the (innlen of the Hods"), Martin Keary, tho Irish tenor Inlso doing "Sweet Kentucky Lady" nnd "Mother Machree"), and the wonderful Rus- sian baritone, flenla IVAgnrlon*. The lant mentioned beard the song for tbe first tlmo Wednesday afternoon, sans; It at the Co- lonial the same evening, and put It over big. Well, I guess I'd better ring off. One word, lest we forget: rVonptte, doing "Sweet Kentucky !.fldy" In Boston: Uutb Hove, sing- ing "Aunty Skinner's Chicken Dinner" at the Palace: John Dnnnmiire, In kills, giving a Ilcelnnd version of tbe same ditty nlgbtly nt the Ititstnnoby revuti: Dnrbar'n Rellrlngcrs. sending 'cm crazy with "Roll On, Hcrtiillfiil World," nnd Jack Ilallen ami bin singers ami dancers In "The Fair Co-Kd." at Proctor's I'lfth Avenue, getting the blue ribbon for "Sweet Kentucky Lady"—lliesc are some of the things I wanted to tell you about.
