Hints: This "Melody" was written in 1911 by a man who later become the Vice President of the United States under Calvin Coolidge and Nobel Peace Prize winner. The tune was a favorite of Fritz Kreisler, was played by Tommy Dorsey and other big bands, and was recorded by Dinah Shore, Sammy Kaye, Carmen Cavallaro, and Louis Armstrong.
