songs as ''In Old Madrid, 1.-The Death

being the worlds quickest composer,
and there was certainly some justih.
cation for this claim.
His beautiful song, ASHORE" was
both written and composed in 40 min
utes in restaurant, while the strains
of "In Old Madrid" (of which 100000
copies have been sold) was also the
result of sudden inspiration. The
melody came to the composer while
he was on his way from the Royal
Aquarium; lest 1t should escape him,
he rushed into public house In Roch.
