., Just a quarter of a century ago
Edwards and Bryan, premier song
writers of their day, saw In I the
then struggling automobile indus
try the basis for a popular song.
They composed "In My Merry
Oldsmobile." writing it In the then
popular slow waits time; and it
was an instantaneous hit. ' In- fact
Its 'popularity rlew with that of
the. famous one. cylinder Oldsmo-
biles that formed the theme of the
song.
But years bring changes. One

waltz tunes both passed out of the
pieture." Syncopation- -and - Jazz,
multiple cylinders, - refinements
and automotive' beauty now hold
the spot light. - - v
'Jean .Goldkette, leader of his
victor Recording orchestra, re
called the old song as he visual
ised the development of the auto
mobile industry ' to its present
commanding position. He decid
ed to bring out a 1927 model of
"In; My Merry Oldsmobile." and
wrote orchestrations of it in both
modern waits and fox trot time.
Recently his orchestra made rec
ords of both of the new orchestra
tions while playing at the Victor
studios at Camden. N. J.
'Although Oldsmobile . officials
had nothing to do with the writing
or publishing of the song, they be
gan receiving requests for ' copies
at the factory." ' To satisfy these
requests the company arranged
with M. Witmark & Son, the pub
lisher, for a special edition to sup
ply this demand.'
Even though the song is a quar
ter of a century old, the Oldsmo-
Ue factory continues to have calls
