(Special to the Herald) Herald Bureau, No. 130 Fleet Street, : London, Sept. 22. High up in a pretty flat over the Strand Theatre lives Ivor Novello, the twenty-vear-old voung man who composed "Till the Boys Come Home," which is certainly the most popular war air here since "Tipperary." For months the men in khaki have sung it as they swing through the streets and lanes; no concert is complete without it, every office boy whistles it and recruiting bands blare it forth and the few Italian street organs that remain grind it out with variations. xe It is not a ballad to fire the martial spirit, but rather a reminder of home set to a swinging vet most touching melody. Here are the words of the chorus: -- "Keep the home fires burning, While your hearts are yearning, Though your lads are far away They dream of home. There's a silver lining Through the dark cloud shining, Turn the dark cloud inside out Till the boys come home. Young Iver Novello, a born composer, is a brilliant pianist and was one of the most ac complished choristers in England, but it was " "Till the Boys Come Home" which has given him fame, : "I do not know what inspired me to com- pose the song," he remarked to me. "I had in my mind the idea of keeping the homes as happy as possiblé while the soldiers are away, and in haif an hour I had invented the air, not a note of which has since been altered." His later song, "Laddie in Khaki," strikes a catching note, but "Till the Boys Come Home™ remains the favorite, in fact, there is no escaping it. Of this song Lady Tree wrote to Novello thus: --"It must be a great pride to you to see the soldiers' delight in your musie How splendid for you to have written the war song ! That half glad, half wistful song haunts one now . wherever one goes and it will echo all over the world."" d College Book "Store PHONE - 919, ON SALE AT eee MahoganyClock New shipments have arrived. comprising those plain old Round- mg patterns of vears ago, revived.
