BIOGRAPHiCAL SKETCH

Herbert I. London

Herbert I. London, collector of these materials, graduated from Columbia University in 1960 and received his PhD in 1966 from New York University (NYU).  He is currently the John M. Olin University Professor of Humanities at NYU.

In 1989 Dr. London ran as one of the Republican candidates for mayor of New York City.  In 1990 he ran for governor of New York with the Conservative Party (a third party candidate), and in 1994 he ran as the Republican candidate for New York State Comptroller.

Since 1 September 1997, Dr. London has served as the president of the Hudson Insititute, located in Indianapolis.  He has been a member of the Hudson Institute Board of Trustees since 1974 and has been a senior fellow for over three decades.

Harry Von Tilzer

Harry Von Tilzer was born in Detroit, Michigan, on 8 July 1872.  He was the third son born to Jacob and Sarah Gumm.  His father moved the family to Indianapolis when Harry was a young child, where they set up various family businesses.  After growing tired of working in the family's store and yearning to perform publicly, Harry ran away from home to join the Cole Brothers Circus at the age of 14 in Chicago, Illinois.

While working with the circus in Chicago he became a self-taught musician and performed as a singer and pianist.  He also adopted his mother’s maiden name, "Tilzer" at this period and added the "Von" for theatrical appeal.  Four other brothers, including Albert, would also adopt the Von Tilzer show name.

In 1892 Harry moved to New York City where he again took up work in vaudeville, saloons, and medicine shows.  In 1898 Harry had his first big hit with "My Old New Hampshire Home," which sold two million copies.  With the success of this song he left the stage and was invited to join a music publishing firm, which became Shapiro, Bernstein, and Von Tilzer.

Following a string of hit songs, Harry opened his own publishing company in 1902.  The area in New York City where Harry opened his company eventually came to be known as "Tin Pan Alley."  Harry Von Tilzer is given credit for having inspired the phrase, though Monroe Rosenfield, a music journalist first penned it.  Harry kept an upright piano in his office which had pieces of paper stuffed between the strings; when the keys were hit, this created a sound comparable to hitting a tin pan.  By the end of World War I Harry had, for the most part, come to the end of his song-writing career.  In all Harry boasted to having written 8,000 songs; 2,000 of them were published, with a half-dozen selling more than 1,000,000 copies each.

Following his song-writing career he continued to publish music, giving Irving Berlin his first steady job in music at the age of 16.  Harry Von Tilzer’s list of hit songs includes: "Bird in a Gilded Cage" (ca.1900), "Wait 'til The Sun Shines Nellie" (1905), and "I Want a Girl (Just like the Girl that Married Dear Old Dad)" (1911).  He was also known for his African-American dialect songs, Irish ballads, and World War I songs.

Harry Von Tilzer was married and had two children.  He died on 10 January 1946 in New York City.

Albert Von Tilzer

Albert Von Tilzer was born on 29 March 1878 in Indianapolis.  Like his brother Harry, Albert worked in the family business in Indianapolis.  He sold goods with his father until he either graduated from or dropped out of high school.

In 1899, following in the footsteps of his brother, Albert moved to Chicago where he gained a position at Shapiro, Bernstein, and Von Tilzer as a song plugger and staff pianist.  In Chicago, Albert also changed his name from Gumm to Von Tilzer.

Just after the turn of the century, Albert moved to New York City where he found work as a shoe salesman and began to write his own music.  In 1900 he published his first piece, "The Absent-Minded Beggar Waltz," a piano instrumental.

Like Harry, Albert set up his own music publishing firm in 1903 in New York City. Albert's brothers Jack and Will (Wilbur) Von Tilzer were also active business associates in the firm they called the York Music Company.  The two companies were reported to have had a "friendly" rivalry; Harry’s business was the more successful of the two.  In 1903, Albert married Caddie Nusbaum.

Albert was also a successful vaudeville performer.  His success was due in part to his very popular song, "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" (1908).  Because of this one song's success he became a headliner on the Orpheum circuit.  In 1930 Albert moved out to Hollywood, California, where he wrote scores and songs for various movies.  He retired in the late 1930s.  The 1940s brought a renewed interest in Albert’s earlier works, and as a result, a number of popular singers continued performing his songs throughout the 1950s and 1960s.

Albert Von Tilzer died on 1 October 1956 in Los Angeles.  Some of his more popular songs were "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" (1908), "Put Your Arms Around Me Honey" (1910), and "I’ll Be With You In Apple Blossom Time" (1920).

Other Members of the Von Tilzer Family

The Von Tilzer family was one of the most prominent families in the American music industry in the first half of the twentieth century.  Both Harry and Albert Von Tilzer were among the founding members of the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers in 1914.  The society was established in an effort to protect copyrights on music for copyright holders.

The two eldest brothers, Jack and Jules, were also vaudeville performers.  Jules at the time of his death was general manager of the Harry Von Tilzer Music Company.

Wilbur (Will) Von Tilzer, the youngest of the brothers, who was also born in Indianapolis, went to New York in 1912 to work for Harry.  By 1914 he had decided to work independently in the music industry by both publishing music and writing song lyrics.  Will was head of the Broadway Music Corporation in New York City when he died in 1952.

Harold H. Gumm, one of the younger brothers, went to New York around 1903.  He attended Columbia University and became an entertainment lawyer.  Harold H. also served as executor and trustee of the Harry Von Tilzer estate.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

Herbert I. London received most of the materials in this collection from Harold H. Gumm, gathering them for academic research. This collection includes manuscript, printed, and visual components.

Manuscript and Visual Materials

Box 1 contains materials arranged in chronological order.  Included is the correspondence of Harold H. Gumm and Gumm's Columbia University materials.  Albert Von Tilzer’s marriage certificate to Caddie Nusbaum in New York City, along with correspondence mainly from Los Angeles and Paris, are here.  There are also various unpublished biographical manuscripts related to Harry Von Tilzer, along with a play entitled Mr. Tin Pan Alley, written by Gertrude Samuels and Herbert London at New York University.

The second part of Box 1 contains materials that are undated and are organized alphabetically.  Included in this portion of the collection is the transcript from the radio program Captain Juanita; a program from Gingham Girl, performed in New York City; and music catalogs from Harry Von Tilzer Music Publishing Company, New York City.

Box 2 contains additional materials arranged in alphabetical order.  Some of the items included are photographs of the Von Tilzers, miscellaneous song lyrics, autobiographical notes by Albert Von Tilzer, and a manuscript copy of Harry Von Tilzer’s autobiography.

Box 3 contains manuscript copies of sheet music written by Harry Von Tilzer or Albert Von Tilzer.  They are arranged alphabetically by song title.

Printed Materials

The collection also includes approximately 1,140 pieces of printed sheet music written or published by the Von Tilzer brothers.  These pieces are stored with the other sheet music collections in Printed Collections.  There are often variant versions of a given piece: publication dates differ, the music or the words have been reworked slightly, and cover art also may differ.  The printed portion of the collection includes folios containing pieces written by both Albert and Harry Von Tilzer.  Also included in the collection are five sound recordings.

The sheet music is organized into three series:
Series I: (Box 1–10) Pieces written by Albert Von Tilzer: approximately 360 titles, publication dates 1900–55.
Series II: (Box 1–16) Pieces written by Harry Von Tilzer: approximately 680 titles, publication dates 1896–1952.
