Harold Orlob

Harold Orlob (3 June 1883 – 25 June 1982) was a native of Logan, Utah who became a major composer and lyricist for Broadway theatre productions. Among his works were the short run of Corianton: An Aztec Lovestory, a work pushed through by Orestes U. Bean's salesmanship and based on the novel Corianton by B. H. Roberts. He also was responsible for the music of the 1923 production Ginger among many others. His 1909 song "I Wonder Whose Kissing Her Now" has been used in many films from Red Salute to The Spanish Prisoner. This song was written with Jos. E. Howard, Will M. Hough and Frank R. Adams.^[1]
