San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1893-12-12


If you could read them all,
Many the dreams that are ended
After the ball.
The song goes on to describe how
the uncle found his beloved one in
the arms Of another; how his
"sweet dream was scattered" and
how, too late, she having died, he
found out that she was embracing
her brother, lately returned. Now
what could be more sentimental or
romantic. Set to a charming air, by
an American composer, this song
is intensely popular, and Miss Yes
ia Tilly, rather handsome girl,
sister of the we'll known Lefty
Lind, sings it to perfection.
ALBERT CHEvALIER.
| ought to have mentioned first
on my list the king of concert hall
singers, Albert Chevalier. This
man is a true artist, and in his de-
lineation of the different phases of
life of the London costermonger is
inimitable. His last new song
''The Nipper's Lullaby" is heard
in every concert hall, and it's
refrain is a gem, and the song,
sung in costume, with a scene de-
picting an humble bedroom with
the cradle containing the nipper
and his daddy on the watch by the
side, touches the hearts of the SYM
pathetic audience so that their en-
thusiasm knows no bounds,
He's run his little legs off and at last he's
gone to sleep.
Lor! wot puffick mint O. love lies in that
little cap!
He's a babby to be prahd on, weighin'
not fur off stone.
He's worth is weight in thick uns, and
'e'S all our very own.
Sleep lightly. dream brightly, rest until
the daylight comes agen,
Wake up in the morning, when the day is
dawnin;
But sleep your level best till then.
The next song in popular favor
is the great "Daisy Bell" There
is a Daisy Bell waltz, horses called
by the name and new cloaks named
after it. This is also sentimental
song, and the Singer, Miss Katie
Lawrence, who wears male attire.
The air is very catching, and, al
though one hears it at every turn,
one cannot deny it is very pretty.
There is flower within my heart, Daisy,
Daisy!
Planted one day by glancing dart,
Planted by Daisy Bell!
Whether she loves me or loves me not.
Sometimes it's hard to tell;
Yet am longing to share the lot
OF beautiful Daisy Bell!
Daisy, Daisy, give me an answer, do!
I'm half crazy, all for the love Of you.
1t won't be a stylish marriage,
| can't afford a carriage;
But you'd look sweet on the seat
OF a bicycle built for two
Next is "Marguerite of Monte
Carlo" sung by Lefty Lind in ONO
rocco Bound" The fascinating Let
ty has not got a note in her voice,
but she manages to get an encore
for her singing Of this song, so well
does she act it and initiate the
adorers of different nationalities in
attendance on the lively Mar
guerite."
The next two songs | cannot
call very refined 40! Mr.. Por-
terw and Daddy won't Buy me a
Bow Wow" The first sung by
Marie Lloyd, the second by Vesta
Victoria, both dressed in a "My
Sweetheart" costume. The "Bow
Wow" song is only idiotic the
other rather broad and suggestive.
Both have catching airs.
Lately just spent week with my old
Aunt Brown,
Came up to see the wondrouS sights OF a
famous London town.
Just a week had Of 1t; all round the
place we'd roam.
Wasn't sorry on the day had to go
home.
things all fell about.
Got my ticket, said "Goodby," "Righta-
way" the guard did cry.
But | found the train was wrong, and
shouted on
o! Mr.. Porter what shall do?
want to go to Birmingham and they're
taking me on to Crewe.
Send me back to london as quickly as
you can.
Oh! Mr.. Porter, what silly girl l ami"
All these songs have cup to
date" verses which are added &C
cording to events from night to
night. All the we'll known people
of the day figure in them. Some Of
the latest to the "Bow-Wow" song
are as follows:-
hear across the herring pond
They have got great big show,
And all the folks from everywhere
Have gone to Chicago.
The biggest things on earth are there,
They say, without doubt,
The Yankees guess and calculate
They knock creation out!
REFRAIN.
The Yankees are Commanding to Bow.
