9806   I'm Looking For the Man That Wrote "The Merry Widow Waltz" Edward M. Favor Charlie took his Lizzie to see "The Merry Widow."   The "waltz" was so entrancing that it set her dancing, and she waltzed the shoes off her feet.   The various members of the family and sundry other occupants of the flat also caught the fever.   Charlie was finally driven to longing for an opportunity to wreak vengeance upon the author of the now famous waltz.   Part of the song is set to strains from the "Merry Widow Waltz."   Mr. Favor's rendition is very amusing and entertaining.   The Record will be close to the top of the April list.   Orchestra accompaniment.   Music, Seymour Furth; words, Edgar Selden; publisher, Shapiro, New York. — February 1908 Edison Phonograph Monthly [announcing the April records]
