AUTHOR OF HOT TIME" DITTY
WRITES ROOSEVELT MARCH
Theodore A. Metz Composed
Famed Tune Nearly so
Years Ago.
Navy Band Plays a New
Composition in Parade
Today.

Theodore A. Metz is IS years old and
he admits there may be two suns and
two moons, but there Is only one
Theodore A. Metz.
Almost SO years ago he wrote a song
called "ThereIl Be Hot Time in the
Old Town Tonight" The first Roose-
welt to be President Of the United States
made the tune famous. His Rough
Riders immortalized it in the Spanish
American War. 1t was their campfire
ditty and battle song.
Today Theodore A. Metz, the one
and only, has set the stage for the debut
elect Franklin D. Roosevelt. It Is called
the President Roosevelt March" and
it Is, he says, the nearest thing to "A
Hot Time" without being an imitation,
that he has ever written.
When Theodore Roosevelt was in
augurated "Metz's Hot Time Band"
played its favorite melody from one end
Of the Avenue to the other. The
United States Navy Band blared forth
the notes of the President Roosevelt
March" for the first time in history
Theodore A. Metz has come to Wash
ington personally to witness the joint
introduction of his new song and the
Nations new Chief Executive. His song
has been placed in the hands Of Charles
Benter, an officer of the naval band,
which in turn has been placed In the
Inauguration parade.
To the Navy musicians will be en-
trusted the exclusive" rendition of a
piece which Theodore A. Metz thinks
may catch the public fancy as did Hot
Time" That one sold million copies
and made 500 900 for the composer. he
says.
president Roosevelt March" has a
march time introduction and a snappy
chorus. Theodore A. Metz counts on
the chorus to knock 'em cold, although
he says the Navy Band likes the march
part. too.
The lyric goes:
President Roosevelt. we're here to greet
You are the boy for us sure as you're
We want a man like you in the White
House.
All hail to President Roosevelt"
The first song hit Theodore A. Metz
wrote was peddled around music shops
and publishers houses for 10 years be-
fore it got into print.
In 1896 Theodore A. Metz was mu-
stefan, and bandmaster with the Mc1n-
tyre and Heath Minstrels. He was trav-
cling South with the troupe. working
on q new melody he had written, when
the train stopped in little town
where some shacks were burning be-
side the railroad track. A lot Of people
were heaving water at the fire and the
citizenry were properly excited. The
name of the hamlet was Old Town.
Mr.. Mcintyre, or maybe it was MT.
Heath. was sitting next to Theodore A.
Metz on the train.
"Oh, boy" he said, they're having a
hot time!"
