"Don't Cry Frenchy, Don't Cry"

Joe Young—Sam Lewis—Walter Donaldson—the eternal triangle of song land! When you see a song by that combination you can be sure it's a song you'll buy sooner or later. They never miss. Their latest, "Don't Cry, Frenchy, Don't Cry," is a wonder. The music is by Mr. Donaldson, who has just been discharged from the army and has signed a contract to write exclusively for Waterson, Berlin & Snyder. While in the army he collaborated with Irving Berlin on the production music for "Yip, Yap, Yaphank."
IDIOTIC, ISN'T IT?
By HAROLD ATTERIDGE
WHEN you figure this life that we're living
It's a question of mere getting breath
We are here for a time
For no reason or rhyme
And the future holds nothing but death.
Idiotic, isn't it?
II.
If you save all you earn you're a miser
If you spend all you earn you're a joke
In the struggle for wealth
You acquire bad health
Still the doctors can't live if you're broke.
Idiotic, isn't it?
III.
You give pain to someone when you're brought here
You're in pain when you bid life goodbye
Though it's all of no use
You attempt to produce
Someone else who will soon have to die.
Idiotic, isn't it?
IV.
When you're single you feel you should marry
When you're married you want to be free
Oh, I waste all my life
Being mean to my wife
And she's doing the same thing for me.
Idiotic, isn't it?
V.
When a working man works till he's tired
He goes in a saloon for his ale
Then some Congressman fine,
With his house stocked with wine
Says "No beer or you'll go off to jail."
Idiotic, isn't it?
Then—EARL FULLER—Now
TWO years ago, "a fellow named Fuller" was an orchestra drummer playing in one of the big hotels in New York.
Today Earl Fuller has a luxurious office at 1604 Broadway, New York, where he directs the booking of his many orchestras and instrumental organizations which are everywhere—Earl Fuller's Orchestras, Earl Fuller's Jazz Bands, Earl Fuller's All Star Bands and so on. His fame as an orchestra organizer and originator has spread over the country faster than the Bolshevik movement through Russia. At Rector's he has set the standard of music for New York.
Much of Mr. Fuller's time is devoted to directing his orchestras in making those wonderful and unique jazz records for the Victor, Columbia and Emerson records which are played on hundreds of thousands of phonographs all over the world. As a director, a man of exceptional business acumen and a composer of great ability, he is probably the best known orchestra leader in the country, and he rightly claims that his organizations are originations.
