Will R. Anderson, the author of Just Someone, by far the catchiest little song, both to melody and words that has been offered the American public in some years, has at last come out of his long, deep silence and told how he did it.

Anderson, who wrote the popular song Just Someone, had his overcoat stolen from his house a few days ago. The next day a voice informed him over the phone that the owner of the voice had taken the coat and thanked the song writer for the splendid fit. 'Who the devil are you?'
