William Jerome (1865 - 1932) and Jean Schwartz (1878 - 1956) were a successful songwriting duo during the early 20th century, particularly in the Tin Pan Alley era of popular music in the United States. William Jerome, an American lyricist known for his witty and humorous lyrics, had a long career writing for vaudeville and Broadway shows, and while he partnered with several composers, his most notable collaboration was with Jean Schwartz. Schwartz, born in Hungary and immigrating to the U.S. as a child, was a composer and songwriter with a talent for creating catchy, melodic tunes. Like Jerome, Schwartz was active in the Tin Pan Alley scene, contributing to vaudeville and musical theater. Their partnership produced several hit songs, including "Chinatown, My Chinatown," which remains a classic. One of their romantic works, "Let's Make Love Among the Roses," exemplifies the light, romantic style of the era. [first verse] "Underneath the skies of blue, I'll let you know how much I love you, For my love is true as the stars above, Let's make love among the roses. Kiss me where the roses twine, I'll tell you how my heart is thine, In the garden fair, just you and I, Let's make love among the roses." [Chorus] "Let's make love among the roses, In the garden fair, We'll sit and whisper sweet things, For none will know we're there. The roses in their beauty, They'll bend to kiss you too, Let's make love among the roses, For my heart is all for you." A note about the cover art: Some of the most creative and eye-catching cover art of the ragtime-era were done by one of the prolific, but elusive, Starmer Brothers. Their work was of consistently high quality and they were turning out nearly a quarter of all large format covers from the late 1890s to around 1919. The identity of the artists was unknown until an invoice was discovered with a printed heading describing "Starmer" as artist and medical draughtsman. Not much else is known about the Starmer family.
