He thought the tune was a good one and he tried to find someone who could put a different set of words to it. In the mean- time he took a job playing his plano in cafes to pay the rent. Charles Lawlor had become fam- ous as a writer of "The Sidewalks of New York." Lawlor's inspira- tion seemed to desert him when it came to writing words for Afm- strong's song. He advised Arm- strong to go back home to Mass- achusetts and forget the song. Still Armstrong would not give up trying.

About this time Armstrong met a man by the name of Richard Gerrad who had written some lyr- ics but was not so well known as yet. After a while he came up with a set of words and title of "Sweet Rosalie." Still the song did not sell, the publishers did not want it. Then that mysterious something popped up which changed every- thing for these two men, Arm- strong and Gerrad. They were walking down a street in New York when they saw the posters advertising the fact that the great Adeline Patti was to give a re- cital. They changed from Sweet Rosalie to Sweet Adeline. This was in the days of vaudeville and male quartettes. It is said that with the change of name, a num- ber of these groups tried Sweet Adeline. It is also said that they took to it like a duck takes to wa- ter and so did the public. The publishers wanted it then and it sold in the millions. I supose: that Adeline Patti nev- er knew that she was the inspira. tion of, at least, the title of the song. It was the only hit that Harry Armstrong is said to have written. After all, you need only one good hit in the popular song line and you have a gold mine. Strangely enough, we always say that popular music never lasts. It is a hit one week, the next it is in the ash can. There is always do, the exception to the rule and Sweet Adeline is one of them. Everybody heard it and "tried" to sing it at one time or another and they will keep on trying for generations. Winner. of the Week If E. G.
