How many admirers of John McCor
mack, the Irish tenor, imagine when
they hear him in concert that his selec
tions of songs are his easiest taks?
His experience is along a different
line. One of Mr. MeCormack's most
perplexing tasks is to select from
among dozens of new songs, what songs
lie will add to his repertoire. It is
mated, on the average, out of 500 new
Nongs that have been submitted to Mr.
McCormack for approval during the
past four or five months, only SO of
these have proved acceptable. These
figures are significant.
It wi.uld be Interesting to know ac
curately how many dozens of soncs
new and old Mr. McCormack examined
before he secured such money-makers
Hnd 3on(?s-that-reach-my-heart descrip
tive successes as "I Hear You Calling
Me' (Marshall), and the Irish "Minstrel
