The New York Clipper (December 1914)

December 12 THE NEW YORE CLIPPER. 17 THE PROFESSIONAL COPY GRaFIER. INTEREST AT FEVER HEAT. The crusade against the professional copy «rr«(ter wlilcu was recently started In this EaEtmm has already begun to bear fruit. After a thorough Investigation of this ^il The Nbw Yobk Ci-ippub found, out that little could be gained without first so'ilcitm* ti e assistance of those In charge of the pro- fi«lona! copies In the different musk house*. We have galued that point, and from not? ,.n intend to resort to every method lu stop- ping thla gigantic loss to the music pnlf Before I continue I am going to take up voir time with little remarks that were made to mo by tha different boys in charge of tho professional departments, alec several mana- *" James Kcndls,' general manager of the Miuilcc- Ulchnond Music Company, had this to' nay "Have been-reading: your several irtlclcs on the professional gruffer, Jack, ind permit me to say .Wat you are handling It In the right manner. . .' .. « ,': .. "I have always been a sticker on the rul* of turning down- these petty 1 grafters, and cm far back as three years ego, when ,1 'was president of the James {Cecals Music Com- pany, instructed my mep that nndcr no cir- cumstances were incy t.> recognise a. card. 1 even went so far as to nave a circular printed stating that a charge of fifteen cents would be made to all tho-se whom I did not know and who wrote,through the mails for copies. It would surprise yon to> know how many fifteen cents in stamps I received In this manner. • Keep up the good work, .ind If 1 ran be of any assistance to you I, am yours to command." '■-..■ .•■ Ira Schuster, of the Leo Felat staff, Is another one of the boys who has a good word to say nt.my efforts In this direction. He Is a great believer In Ibe method of Jack Glognu's, which I recently printed. Ira turns down person af tee person If the proper credentials are not forthcoming, and, to get copies from him Is almost as hard as getting bookings, Benny Bloom, of the J. H. Remlck Music Company, Is another of the regulars who has rot himself much disliked by these pests. Nobody gets away with, anything on this boy. He Is a great booster for the elimina- tion of this evil, and has even Instructed his assistants that under no circumstances are tbey to hand out the "much desired" unless the receivers are known professionals. Leo I.ewln, of the waterson, Berlin & Snyder Company, can be quoted as follows: 'Jack, I have been reading your dope on the professional cony evil, and believe me, It is great. Jack Glogau's article Is a pippin. 1 spent some time with Jack doping out that method of doing away with the professional copy. I think If the different publishers would make a trial of It. that It wouldn't bo long before professional copies would bc- <ome a thing of the past. I'd like to see some of those grafters get away with their petty stuff In this office- And so it goes, dear reader. Everyone in cbnrgc of the professional copy desks lia'j the same thing to say. But now that l have gained the confidence of these boys, it's up to me to interest the different publishers on lids subject. In many of the meetings of the Music Board of Trade, an excellent organization (composed of nearly all the music publishers In this country), the professional copy evil hfw been spoken of many times, but without result. It's the greatest evil of them all, and I nm going to stop at nothing until 1 can convince them that it cuts off almost thirty per cent of their revenue, and that it can cosily be stopped. MONACO AND McOARTHEVS NEW IDEA. When those rising young song writers, Jimmy Monaco and .In" Met arthey, get Into their stride again, look out for soma new and original Ideas in eongs. The boys already have a new number that listens much like the goods. Anyhow, Phil Kornhelser thinks so, and that boy can eurtlv pick them. I personally think that these two boys are two of the best In their line that the past five veers has produced. Jimmy's melodies are the kind that seem to appeal and seldom fall to strike the mu- sical Instincts of music lovers. Joe McCarthcy's lyrics, well, you know what he has given .us, and If there's n boy who can write better I want to be Introduced. I was told not to mention the title of 'heir new snng or I would get myself In wrong, but I'm going to take a chance, so here goes: "Bum Diddle Dc Um Bum, That's It." wrtnt. isn't It? When you bear It you'll think It's greater. H's one of the best things these boys have ever turned out, and will be sweeping the country be/ore long. Feist, of course, Is tho publisher, and the way he goes after good things has mad} his- tory In music publishing. Here's wishing both boys the best of luck, end may they shortly have another "You Made Me Love You." > JOS. DALY TALKS. Lane, Piatt und Tlmmlns, that clever trio with the piano, are using Daly's new song, i Garbage, Gentlemen's Ball," on the Locw time, and the number is going Immense for. them. - May Eldridge, at tho Murray Hill, Is a riot with "To-night's My Last Night Single." Dingle and Corcoran, singing "William fell" and "Stand Up," are cleaning up with these numbers. . .. •< ■ Osle Stewart Is still going big on the Loow time with "William Tell", and "Stand Up." THINGS ARE DOOMING. "You Are the Rose of My Heart" continue* jo grow iu favor every day, and from all indications will positively be the big ballnd BR this Winter. There hove been many Hose" ballads, but none as beautiful as . Y °u Are the Rose of My Hxart.'* At least tnat is the concensus of opinion. "How Is Everything by You, All Bight?" ■ n great comedy song that is positively Renting more talk than any other character song written In years. It Is clean, Inoffensive IMI distinctly original. Bay Samuels, Bdlth yifford, Annie Morris, Estelle Rose, Ralph towards and many other acts too numerous tQ mention claim it to be the greatest song ..,„. klnd thp y nave ever used. What Did llomeo Say to Juliet When He uimbcd Her Balcony?" Is Al. Bryan's grcnt- •». success since ■'Mrs. Rip Van Winkle," with a melody by Jim Kendls that Is very catehv There are many act3 who wish this number was their exclusive property. It.Is such a hit for them that thov bate to think j-ut there will come a time when they must "Ho it off. At present It Is going very Ml ror each and every one of them, and will coiuinue to do *o for many months. 'he Maurice Richmond Co. have no kick coming an far as business is concerned.

In conjunction with this new star of the popular eong field Wolfe Gil- bert has turned out a sure-fire hit. The title of thla new song is "The Same Old Town." SOLLY COHAN, CHAMPION WALKER. When it comes to floor managers, Solly Cohan, who presides at Loo Feist's, la ono boy who surely, earns bis money. I have seldom seen a youngster that can cover as much ground as be can I asked him one day bow many miles did he think be cov- ered In a day, and Solly, the little Joker, wild ■ "Follow me and find out." Now, that wasn't a polite reply, but I forgave him be- cause the Feist professional rooms are mora like a madhouse and they were exceptionally busy that day, and Solly hadn't had his lunch, neither had I. but that didn't mako any difference. I seldom eat. MeOARRON AND WALKER OCT. Wonders will never cease. Just when we tUouclit that Charley McCarron and Ray- mond Walker were in solid at the Broadway M.isde Company, and were supposed to be the flrra'c feature writers, they pack up and beat it. The boyc have given Will Von Ttlzer ono of. his most recent hits In "Poor Pauline," end also are- responsible for "She's the Slow- est Girl In Town," a number that has shown up wnnderfn'Iy well. The boys announce that they will free lance for a while, .. , OOHN "SOME" MANAGER. Lew Cohri; profcssfonal manager for Chis. K. Harris, la a boy who Is deserving of much credit for the manner in which he handles, that department for Harris. He has been instrumental in popularizing the,many bits of his firm for the past elgnt years, and h now boosting bard Leo Edwards' latest sen-, sotlnnal number, .YSunpeam 'Sal.'!

Tbey have placed two new songs wllh the firm that will bo heard of after the flrst of the year. "Minstrels On Parade,' one ot the numbers, looks mighty good and Is suitable for any style act. WITMARK WARDLINGS. Estelle ThebaudJ appearing In the Dansont with Paul Decker, is featuring Caro noma's famous Southern serenade, entitled "Cant You Hcah Me Collin', Caroline?" Mr. Deck- er's harmonlzntlon of the last chorus never falls to secure- liberal encores. The Dantamt production Is under the direction of B. Butler iSnnrlco, well known tenor and vlollnlBt, is featuring Hrnest Ball's famous song, "In the Garden of tho Gods:" "Those Songs My Mother Used to Sing." also "Harmony Bay.

Mondel and Nogel an featuring "Roll On, Beautiful World, Roll On." , Hunter and Cornell are featuring "Can't You Heali Me Callin', Caroline?' GILBERT TALKS* ('flout sirm JPubMraUonAj „ I'm getting so now that the ofkicb cruic fits me. Well, a la Grant Clarke, I want to say that "I'm afraid I've got a hit. a big hit. It'll be just my luck to have a bit right off the reel." "Matrh a Day, Mayufi a Year," look that title over and over* again, because you're going to hear It or sing it. You're bound to ds It "Maybe a Day, Maybe a Year"—It's a hit, If I ever was connected with one. Last Thursday at Locw's Avenue B, during their publishers' evening, I appeared, prac- tically following all the cleverest of the clever song boosters In the music business, and many a good song was sung. Publlrltv Director Grnnland, of the Lcew Circuit, will bear me out that I could still be singing "Mavbe a Dsy, Maybe a Year." Ask Pauline Hall about "Weep No More, My Lady," and this clever lady has been singing march songs'all her starring career. James Europe, of Europe's marvelous col- ored orchestra, pronounced "Weep No More, My Lady" tho best march rag song' of the ecason. Will Marlon Cook, who has written many a hit himself, came la and got ''Maybe a Day" for Abbey Mitchell, and she phoned in and told me bow well she liked It. Baser and Saunders a new sister team that will make many of them in vaudeville look to their laurels, put on "Maybe a Day," and claim It to be a wonderful double num- ber. Adele Ritchie. Brown and Newman, Kddle Cupen, director of George Evans' Minstrels; Gra'o- Dixon, Marie Russell, arc-only a few of tbe many who either have put the song* on or hare Immediate intention of doing so. "Ballln' tbe Jack" Is right now the biggest ■ong ■■ and dance sensaMon throughout the country. 'Unsolicited- renunsts for this num- ber rnme in the mall in dozens. ■ ' - "Love's Melody,? a high class ba'lad of that dreamy hesitation type, with an excel- lent set of wards. And remember wour audience already knows this melody, but It's "new" AS A RONO. "Old Rrln tie Shamrock and You," by Edna Williams, is an Irish ballad of excep- tional merit. "Sweet Little Marv Plckford" la already a "requested" number In our mall, I have In preparation what J. W. Stern and E B. Marks think Is the cowing bnUad sensation. Bend for that "sensation" song. Won't tell you the title, then write me and tell me what you think of It. The Instrumental catalogue still reigns supreme In the pnhilaMng business, viz.:— (Sec you next week.) HARMONY BEN. Ben Edwards, the harmony man at Leo Feist's, is one of the busiest boys in tho music mislneos. 1 doubt If there Is a quar- tette In vaudeville that bnsn't visited Benny for his prescription of hnrmonv. A great deal of the success of "When You Play In the Game of Love" can he credited to him. WENRICH STILL ON SICK LIST. Percy Wenrlch, Who was taken III some weeks ago and spent a few weeks In Lnkc- wood, returned to the city Inst week, but was not able enough to get about, so decided to stay a few more weeks In that famous re- sort. In the meantime his latent song, "When Yon Wore a Tulln and I Woro a Big Red Rose," is eweeplng the country. FRANK HOWARD DEAD.

TO BILL JACODS. Bill Jacobs, one of the best music salesmen on the road, sends me greetings from Tn- comii, Wash. If Bill returns with as many orders as he usually docs Joe Morris will bo happy. My best to you, Bill. HASLOFF A HAPPY WORKER. Irving Masloff, since Joining the staff of Jos. W. Btcrn k Co. to assist L. Wolfe Gil- bert, has done remarkably good work in popularizing tbe two new songs, "Ween No More, My Lady," and "Maybe a Doy, Mnyho a Year," both of which are predicted to be- come hits. MHill's NEW IDEA. When you arc considering bringing your repertoire of songs up-to-date don't overlook one of tho best bets of the season, "Knthcr Time," the latest number by Lewis F. Mulr. It's a new Idea In songs and ono that Is going to make other composors luy awake nights In duplicating. J HI r DRANEN'S NEW COMEDY SONG. Ball and West, at Hammerstcln's last week, featured "The Pick of. tho Family," Jeff llrnnon's new comedy sensation, and it was t'-e hit of their act. Joe Morris Is tho p-ibllsher. Mckinley music co.'S notes. "If I Could Only Call You Mine," the big seml-elnfisle ballad sensation. Is now being featured in the Al. Field's Minstrels by the noted baritone, J.. Lester Haberkorn, and he ■writes us that it's a wonder Lumber and a decided hit. • • , Henderson and Sbeldon, a pair of clever singers and banjolsls, are cleaning up with our beautiful little harmony number, ''In the Evening Br-tbe Moonlight" (In Dear Old Tennessee). ■ ■ »• ■ Harry >Davls, at Joy Yen Lo's, u«lng "Alice of Old Ylncenncs" and "Ono Won- derful Night." Mr. Davis has a boautlful i voice, ana his interpretation of these num- bers Is tho "why" we cat our dinners over there. Loretta Stlcft, with "The Doll Girl" act, ' rehearsing "Wonderful Night," preparatory to eight weeks' Western time. John Onlvln, of the same act, finds "Frisco Cabaret" Jnst the number to "close big." Mildred Stewart, one of the most popular cabaret performers in Chicago, Is using "Frisco Cabaret" and "Ono Wonderful Night," and finds then two of the best en- core getters in her repertoire. "Lost Arrow" (an Indian romance) and "Sue of the Cumherlnnds" are the two now numbers this Arm Is banking on for 101S. WILL IlOMSITi;il'S "GOOD LUCK" SONG "TIPS." Those two "live wires," Curtis and Hcbard. are at the Wilson this week, and as usual "rutting up capers." -Keep your eye on these girls—they're coming fast, and you know how scarce "real" girl teams are. They have the voices, appearance and everything needful for success—Including o genuluo vein of natural comedy that you road about bat rarely see and hear-these days. - "Novelty" Is the great insistent cry these days, and Elliott and Austin, a new act, have it In abundance. Nearly everything tbey do Ib "unexpected." and evon thu "ex- pected" is different as tbey-do It. A long ■"route" for them Is a certainty. They have what the peoplo and managers want. "Jusc for T.i-Nlghf' Is their feature song. ' Oldfleld and Drew aTe In towu this week, showing the "natives" how "Jost for To- Night" and "Is It Within the Law?" should be sung.
