Payne sent over to Kemble sackful
of plays, asking 81 $50 for the lot. Kembe
selected one called -Angioietta." paid $3.50
for that and sent the rest back. 1t was
then decided that the text needed music
and H. r. Bishop was called in to supply
the score.
In one Of his letters to Bishop, written
Just before he started for London Payne
wrote that Home. Sweet Home" seemed
an excellent refrain for one Of the songs
He had heard the air in Italy, according to
his own accounts of the work. So Bishop
on the title page of the first copies Of the
song described it as modelled on and partly
taken from Sicilian air.
In later account Payne said he heard
a peasant girl singing it in Italy and asked
her the name. She could not tell him,
but repeated it while he took down the
notes. He said that the pathetic char
acter Of the music suggested to him the
words OF Home Sweet Home" which he
wrote when the idea Of putting the melody
! into his version of -Angioletta' occurred

THE PAYNE HOUSE.
It's at East Hampton, but the Song Writer
Was Not Born There.

There is vague tradition told to summer
visitors at East Hampton that John Howard
Payne wrote Home, Sweet Home in the
old Payne house near the Duck Pond.
Payne did pass his childhood in this old
house, but did not write his famous poem
there. Nor was he even born there.
He was born in New York on the site of
SO Pearl street on June 9, 1871, and not 1892,
as the biographies usually have it. His
father had, about twelve years before that
time, moved to East Hampton to assume
the direction of the academy founded by
Gov. Clinton. Two of his sisters and one
brother of this family of nine children were
born in the little house at East Hampton.
1t is owned to'this day by his descendants.
