...Then ragtime started its rage. "Ta-Ra-Ra-Boom-Der-E" (1891) was one of the first strikes. Theodore Metz got the mood for "A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" (1896). With ragtime the Negro composers came north, the men who founded present-day Harlem. Negro Rosamond Johnson was one of Marks's protégés. He wrote "My Castle on the River Nile" (1901), "Under the Bamboo Tree" (1902), a melodic inversion of "Nobody Knows de Trouble...

...writers have been so infallible as Rosamond Lehmann. Dusty Answer (1927) might have been a lucky strike; A Note in Music showed it was not. In Invitation to the Waltz Authoress Lehmann, with sure and delicate touch, tells a tale of vernal English virginity. Olivia and Kate were sisters, both pretty, but different. Kate was neat, chic, determined; Olivia dowdy and diffuse. Both were beside themselves with breathless ambition at the prospect of Lady Spencer's dance-Olivia's first.

...Author. U. S. readers who chuckle and sniffle over her books may be pleased to know that Rosamond Lehmann has U. S. blood, comes from the same family as Playwright Owen Davis.
