It's only been a year or 60 that “Smiles” caught on and thrilled us through as some songs do when they are new, But now we never hear it sung. It died, it seems, while very young and on the scrap-heap it's been cast with other dittics of the past, What is it in a song these days that makes it burst into a blaze of popularity so quick; then in a year go up Salt Creek?
