I have the song version, I'm not sure if it ever was a piano solo

Brown, Nacio & Freed, Arthur-The Wedding Of The Painted Doll.pdf

There's an arrangement by Billy Mayerl in his Novelty Piano Solos as uploaded by fhimpsl here:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=178&p=14298#p14298

There's also a transcription (I don't know by who--can someone identify?) of Pauline Alpert's arrangement that I found on Scorser a while back:

Anyone with Billy Mayerl's "Marigold Lodge?" (Not the popular Marigold op.78.) Thanks.

Many thanks Jellyroll and Jim!
I have here an easier piano solo version, published by Keith Prowse in 1929,
but the last page of music is missing, hence the request.

Hello TimTim,

Jim & Jellyroll have already posted up the main versions I have. I don't know who did the transcription either. I have a nice colour scan of the other one. I'm fairly certain I have 2 other versions in folios too, but I can't do a quick search for those - if I find them I'll post later.

Here's the colour scan.
Regards,

Hi Jim,

I very much doubt that Billy Mayerl ever wrote a piece called Marigold Lodge. If I'm wrong, I'd love to have a copy when you find it.

According to Peter Dickinson (author of "Marigold - The music of Billy Mayerl") Marigold Lodge was the name of the house in which Mayerl lived in Hampstead. Following the success of his piece Marigold, many of the subsequent houses the Mayerls lived in were also called "Marigold Lodge".

If you find the piece, please send me a copy!

regards,
tobyjj

It was recorded by Eric Parkin for his CD of Billy Mayerl piano music "Robots: Impressions for the Piano."

Good call on this one--I did some more digging and it looks like Marigold Lodge is actually a composition of Eric Parkin. There appear to be several (at least 4) series of these pieces called "Mayerl Shots." I wonder if scores to these exist. In any event, I found a link to the out-of-print CD:

Thanks in anticipation Tobyjj. It's a very catchy piece - something I heard
when young, but didn't know at the time who had written it.
Today, I returned to the shop where I bought my faulty copy of it, in an
attempt to find the missing page.

Hello,

I believe I have that CD and will dig it out -
Maybe it is transcribable !

TimTim, don't hold your breath in anticipation too long - the other versions I believe I have in folio are more likely to be lightweight "easier" arrangements" - or "blends" (not medleys) of other novelty pieces. I will get around to looking though.

This is another Belmonte Tango.
