Ed Rose (lyricist)
Ed Rose (née Edward Smackels Jr.; 24 November 1875 Chicago — 29 April 1935 Evanston, Illinois), was an American lyricist who wrote the words to Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny, Oh! composed in 1917 by Abe Olman.[1]
Rose & Snyder Co. Incorporated
[edit]In 1906, George M. Krey (a music publisher from Boston), Ted Snyder, and Ed Rose formed the music publishing company, Rose & Snyder Co., located in Tin Pan Alley.[2] In May 1908, the firm was incorporated in the state of New York. The directors were Edward Smackels, George M. Krey, and Maurice H. Rosenzweig, an entertainment lawyer. That same month (May 1908), Ed Snyder severed his affiliation with Ed Rose and Ted Snyder.[3] And, in June 1909, Ted Snyder severed his connection with the firm to form his own music publishing company, the Ted Snyder Company, which evolved into Waterson, Berlin & Snyder, Inc., in 1918. In 1909, composer Thomas Lemonier (1870–1945) joined the staff of Rose & Snyder.[4]
