"When I Hear Your Rosary" and "Johnn's in Town."
Mehlinger and Meyer, holding over, went in next to closing for the hit of the bill. As a song and piano turn this pair easily stands with the best of the day. There was a somewhat different routine from last week. Artie sang a new Meyer ballad, called "When I Hear Your Rosary," his second number on that melody, and it is a sort of glorification of the "Rosary's" composer, a Mr. Nevin, mentioned several times in the lyric. "Johnn's in Town," a returned-soldier ditty, was of comic nature. The medley of Meyer's successes - and he has turned out a fine measure of them - is a brightly waved affair with the special lyrics well done. They earned and gave an encore.
