HARLINGEN — Critical ears of
the editorial staff of the Valley
Morning Star Thursday night lean-
ed toward Leon Garber, violinist,
as he played the hit “In The Magic
Valley" for the first time to a Val-
ley audience.
Destined for national radio net-
work fame within 30 days, news-
paper critics said "In The Magic
Valley" is one of the best "natur-
als" ever to come out of South
Texas, and ranks with such pieces
as "Be Still My Heart." "Tiger
Rag." "Sleepy Time Gal," and "Rose
of The Rio Grande '
It was the first time, too, that an
editorial staff considered itself a
critical audience for musical selec-
tions, but that's what the boss said.
Resembling in its catchy rhythm,
melody and romantic appeal the
Puddin'-Head Jones" the
new song, written here recently by-
Agnes Cooper, wife of Garber.
The Magic Valley" has a universal
appeal m thr combination of south-
ern playground atmosphere and
romantic continuity that made
"Und*r A Spanish Moon," “On The
Rio Grande," "Rosita." and “A Gay-
Caballero." popular in their times.
Far from being her first composi-
tion, Mrs. Agnes Cooper Garber
has written a number of other
compositions, but it is doubtful if
any of them have attained such
widespread acclaim and applause as
greeted ‘ In The Magic Valley
when Johnny Twinn's orchestra
played it for the first time to «
large dance audience at San Beni-
to's Legion Hall ball Saturday
'ght.
The chorus of “In The Magic
Valley." which deals with the typi-
cal Ixiwer-Rio Grande Valley rom-
antic appeals, is preceded by the
four lines:
"Underneath the silv'ry moon
beams.
“Down where I belong.
"Every day is.like a day drcam.
"Listen tn the magic song ’
The melodious chorus flows
evenly through its short course:
"I lost my heart, in the Magic
Valley.
"Down where the poinaettias
grow.
"Music fills the air. flowers
everywhere.
"Just a magic touch nf Paradice
"Dreams will all come true, in the
Magic Valley.
•Down where the poinsettias
grow,
•Fir iwers in her hair, mseta's
everywhere.
"In The Magic Valley with you."
The catchy rhythm has gathered
considerable momentum in orches-
tra circles in the north as well
as in the Valley, and the composers
(Garber assisted with the arrange-
ment) except to see it broadcast
within 30 days over national net-
works Copyright has been ap-
plied for.
Charles L Johnson. Kansas City,
who composed such hits as "Jubilee
In the Sky.” introduced by Fred
Waring, and “Sweeta Rose.”'sent
Agnes Cnnper compliments last
week, and offered his help in mak-
ing the new song a success.
In addition to Twinn's orchestra.
"In Thr Magic Valley." has been
gent to Art Brault at the
Moon Club near Alamo, to a
Worth radio station.
