Mickey Rooney's SongWriting Activities
WITH a published song to his credit, Mickey Rooney became the youngest song-writer ever recommended for membership in the American Society of Authors and Composers, when Gns Kahn, dean of American songwriters and a leader in the organization, gave Mickey Rooney's song his endorsement and urged that membership be conferred on him.
The song, “Have a Heart,” was introduced in a broadcast by Eddie Cantor, and will be published by Witmark. Another song by Mickey Rooney, "Love on the Range,” is also to be published. Kahn is arranging to work with him on some numbers as soon as the latter finishes his role in “Huckleberry Finn ” He believes that Mickey Rooney’s talent can be trained to make him a more important figure in the song-writing field.
