Worldcat shows only three libraries with copies. Hermann Frederic Löhr (1872-1944), English despite his German-sounding name. He was highly prolific in that direction; the BBC catalogue lists 116 songs and there were doubtless many more, some of them grouped into sets e.g. Russian Love Songs (6), Songs of Roumania (3), Songs of Italy (4), Songs of Exile (5), Romany Songs (4), The Little Sunbonnet (9), Indian Songs (4) and Three Little Spanish Songs. Best known of the singletons was Little Grey Home in the West and Where My Caravan Has Rested. Other popular titles were Margrita, Only One Word, Roadways, Rose of My Heart, To Elaine, The Road of Looking Forward, Little Corner of Your Heart and Messmates. Löhr wrote a musical play, Our Little Cinderella, which yielded a waltz and a suite of four other dances. He also contributed largely to the corpus of light orchestral suites and genre movements. The suites included Fleeting Fancies, Musical Travelogue, The Open Road, Sign-Posts, West Countree, West Country Dances, Stars of the East and Ship Ahoy, the separate movements, the minuet Jackanapes, an interlude, Lady Mine, the 'novelette' Merry Thoughts, a waltz-intermezzo, Leonore, the waltz Moonshine and an intermezzo, Amber Eyes. WIMPERIS, Arthur (b London, 3 December 1874; d Maidenhead, 14 October 1953). Lyricist and librettist for a quarter of a century of London shows. Wimperis began his working life as a black-and-white artist, and it was not until after the Boer War, in which he served with Paget's, Horse (1899-1902), that he began a writing career. He made his theatrical mark at first as a lyricist, contributing to Robert Courtneidge's production of The Dairymaids and to the Seymour Hicks and Ellaline Terriss musical The Gay Gordons, before he found major success with his songwords for a second Courtneidge show, The Arcadians ('The Pipes of Pan', I've Got a Mot-ter', 'Arcady is Always Young', 'Half Past Two' etc). He next supplied some replacement lyrics to a rewrite of the in-trouble The Mountaineers at the Savoy Theatre (1909) but, with the coming of the Viennese musical, he found a new area of activity. He adapted a number of such pieces to the English stage, winning a major success with The Girl in the Taxi (Die keusche Susanne) and a second good run with the Hungarian musical Princess Charming (Alexandra), and he also adapted Julius Wilhelm and Paul Frank's German original as the libretto for the lavish American musical Louie the Fourteenth.
