Hey this is great!! I love this tune, and the piano has that classic old bar room piano sound, perfect for this song,

@KawhackitaRag See my prior post. Imperial used a different perforator after the QRS buyout. Imperial used different pianists in addition to J Lawrence Cook. Some arrangements were mastered on an arranging table and edited and embellished by whatever pianist was avaiable. Imperial produced many private label rolls: U.S, Gimbel, Weil, Ideal, RedLine and some late Wurlitzer rolls both for music and department stores. Imperial survived until around 1935 when production was moved to NYC.

As a longtime Imperial roll collector (50 years) I'm offering this information for all who are interested. Imperial Music Rolls prior to ownership by QRS, were manufactured in Chicago. Max Kortlander purchased the company around 1924 from the info I have available. The early, prior to 1926 rolls have a serial number beginning with 'X' followed by four numbers. The QRS/Imperial began with '0' followed by four numbers, beginning with 06000.

I've always loved this tune - and it sounds great on your piano.

Beautiful piano piece! This song was widely recorded in 1927, the best known rendition being the one by Jan Garber and his Orchestra on Victor.

I read the same information you did and held the same assumption. I have also read that QRS / Imperial took advantage of the dwindling market and bought out several other roll manufacturers labels. I believe to this day QRS owns the rights to Connorized and US Music Rolls.

...Most of these middle-period arrangements were done by J. Lawrence Cook, although uncredited, and some are quite good. By the very late 20's, most Imperial rolls were basically identical to the equivalent QRS rolls, also usually by Cook. I think the Imperial label was continued as a "budget" label into the 1930s, after which it was dropped altogether in favor of the main QRS brand. Nice roll!

[KawhackitaRag]

Most, if not all, of the late Imperial rolls were done by J. Lawrence Cook. Imperial was originally its own company, with Charley Straight as the chief editor (I believe). This was circa 1916-1922. In 1922, Imperial was bought by QRS, but continued to run more-or-less autonomously for about two more years. About 1924 (I think), they let go of most of their artists and generally stopped crediting pianists, although the arrangements were still different than normal QRS ones...
