J., Oct. 4. Jubt a few lines to let you know that I was In New York during the Hudson-Fulton Celebration, and while there 1 called at Chas. K. Harris' ofllce. the Music Publisher. They certainly have a dandy lot of songs. I heard them sung liefore I reached the office at the different theatres that I visited, but I did not know just who published them, and I was surely glad when their lady pianist. Miss McCarthy, showed them to me and played them over: she taught them to me by sing- ing them with me. They also have two other good pianists, Steve Jones and Harry De Costa. This Is the best plnce I have ever struck to learn songs. Just think, I found that gTeat "kid" song that we have been talking so much about. "'SCUSB ME TO-DAY!" AIbo that song. "WAS I A FOOL?" and you know that song. "I WON- DER WHO'S KISSING HER NOW." that we heard Harry Woodruff sing In the "PRINCE OP TO-NIGHT" out West. Why, it is published by Chas. K. Harris. My, they had so many good things I can hardly enumerate them all; but they do publish Joe Howard's song that he sings with Mabel Barrlson in the "BLUE MOUSE," entitled "LOVE ME ALL THE TIME." and they also have George Evans and Ren Shellds' song, "TAKE MR UP IN YOUR AIRSHIP. WILLIE." You know that is the song that Moymc Gehrue is singing; and, by the way, I met her up there running over <*omo other songs, one in particular, "I'LL GET YOU YET. LITTLE GIRLIE." I also met Susie Levlno and Dolph Levlno up there. Susie is going to sing "NOBODY KNOWS. NOBODY CARES," and "WAS I A FOOL?" I beard her rehearsing both of these songs, and her voice Is Just as good as It was years ago—never seems to change—Hind I tell you I had a great time. The songs that I picked out for my act are " 'SCUSB ME TO- DAY'." to fit my kid specialty. Then I change into singing a descriptive song, a great ballad, "WAS I A FOOL?" and end up with "I WON- DER WHO'S KISSING HER NOW." I have Just found out that they will let a singer sing that song now and then as long as It will not Inter- fere with the production. You want to get a move on and write Mr. Harris and ask him to let you sing It; and if you meet anybody that Is looking for good songs you tell them to write to Chas. K. narrls. 31 West 31st Street. New York City, «»s they certainly will l»e well taken care of. This Is all for this time. Next week I will write you and tell you all about the celebration. With love to your mother and self. Write soon. lovingly yours, MABEL. CHAS. K. HARRIS. 81 WEST 81st ST., NEW YORK. MEYER COHEN, Manager, Chioago, Grand Opera House Bldg.
