  Percy Wenrich
Born and raised in Joplin in southwest Missouri, Wenrich was surrounded by classic and folk ragtime influence.
While Wenrich's rags were not as refined or cohesive as those of classic composers or even some of the Tin Pan Alley writers, his gift for a memorable melody caused people to take notice.
Darch vividly remembers how touched Wenrich was by all of this, particularly when he heard a band that had been arranged for to play some of his songs for him outside of his window.

By 1914, Wenrich was spending a great deal of time in support of Dolly and was traveling the vaudeville circuit with her.

 Percy Wenrich Piano Rolls   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Personally I think it is more likely that Imperial made an agreement with Wenrich for permission to use his name on their rolls of these two numbers.
Both of the tunes were very popular and Wenrich was certainly a prolific and well-known songwriter, so his name as artist on the label might have been considered a selling point.
For the MMD Archive I'm sending MIDI files of both the Percy Wenrich Imperial rolls, as well as label scans and a scan of the stenciled signature of Wenrich and Charley Straight which was stamped on the roll leaders.
