Dear Marvin,
I googled and found your source.
I also found one you missed:
Hie Henry
w and melody by I. S.,
arr. Lovie Austin, both of U.S.; in A flat. © June 5, 1924; E 589004 
Ike Smith, Chicago. 8784

Using the the same source, I found a reference to:
• Catalog of copyright entries: Part 3, Volume 18, Issue 2
Library of Congress. Copyright Office - 1924 - Snippet view
22161 Mabel's dream ; melody Ike Smith, of US © 1 c. Nov. 16. 1923: E 577(184; Jack Mills, inc.. New York. ...

But I was unable to open the actual page at large scale to verify it.
However, we seem to have the "Mabel's Dream" copyright date as November 19, 1923.
Very kind regards,
Bill.
