There only five really popular song writer's be-
fore the public today who compose their words
and music. They James Thornton, Paul Dresser,
Charles K Harris. Dave Reed jr., and Andrew Mack,
says the New FORK sun.
Thornton, according to his statement, has writ
ten songs that earned for publishers nearly $780,
OOO His latest song, Sweet Sixteen. is said to have
rewarded the Publisher the extent of $4,000.
The method followed by Thornton in composing
songs is vastly different from that of other writer's
He knows little nothing of music. He does not play
the piano any other musical instrument He works
by inspiration alone. he says.
II have written some of my best known songs in
a half-hour." ne said to reporter. II usually write
the words FIRST and then compose the music As soon
as get a melody that suits I retain it i'm my mind
until I have it taken down in notes by some one
