Songwriter Charles K. Harris death....



Item # 629888

December 23, 1930

THE NEW YORK TIMES, December 23, 1930

* Charles K. Harris death
* Songwriter of popular music
* "Tin Pan Alley" pioneer
* "After the Ball" (song) fame


Page 21 has a one column heading: "C. K. HARRIS DEAD; NOTED SONG WRITER" with subheads and photo. (see) I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 44 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
