Savaob Notes.— While "The Val- kvrlc" Is to take the place of "Parsifal" In the repertory of the liugllsh Grand Opera Co this year, Mr. Savage does not Intend Hint Wagner shall monopolize his efforts. An elaborate production, in English, of Verdi's ■K'guletto" Is to be a feature equally prom- inent This Italian masterpiece, with Its exnul'slte melodies, became Immensely popu- lar In a shorter time than any of the many tuneful works by Verdi. In recent scuBons it was beyond question the most popular Italian work given at the Metropolitan, with Ci!riso Sembrlch and Bcottl In the leading role* Three seasons back It held the lend over all other operas during the Covent Car- den season. The Chevalier Emanuel, who has been of great assistance to Mr. Savage In making his first productions In English of "Tosca, "Othello, 1 ' "La Boheme' and other Important works, will be musical di- rector for "Bigolctto." The Chevalier Is a musician of such loyalty to nrt In the Italian oneras, that aomethlng especially excellent niuv be expected when the curtain rises on ••Kgoletto. The opera will have Its first performance by the reorganized English Grand Opera Co.. during the Urst week of the season at the New Montauk, In Brooklyn. NOTES FHOlt THE VlNCHNT BlIYAN MUKIC Cu—We are going to have a great, big bit lit the new wnltz song;, "Out In un Automo- bile," written by Vincent Bryan and George Kvcna. The song. "U. O. 1'.," bus set everybody talking. The CaBlno Comedy tour, hi Voung's Tier, Atlantic City, are featuring "Goodbye, Maggie May." Thomas Q. Sen- brook Is putting on a new sketch, with Jcnn- ncltc Lowrle, nnd Is using a new song en- titled "lthrnt In thlB Old Town," published by the Vincent Bryan Music Co. Stuart Imrnca, Charles Orapcwln and several other topllncrs are using this song with great succesB. ... . Yb Colonial Septette, which Is prou- ably one of the best known in vaudeville, are using exclusively the publications of Sol Bloom, Including a song speclully writ- ten for them by Clayton Kennedy and John Harding, entitled "In Old New Amsterdam. This number has been specially arranged for the septette by llaymond A. Browne, who also Btaged It. _, _ Fbom tub Continental Mobic Co.— "Itabes In the Wood," Shubcrt's big show, which opened at tho Lyric Theatre, Philadel- phia, will feature "The Message of the Moonbeams." "In the Valley of Yesterday and "My Little Lou" are going big. ihe Village Choir has taken up. "Betty," and "Little Lou." and, from reports, are very well satisfied with the songs. "Tub Beauty and the Beast" Show, which Is kuown for the magnificence of Its production, will again be seen under the management of W, B. Nankevllle, and the feature of each performance will bo the ren- dition of Bol Bloom's songs, "The Clock Upon the Mantle" and "Uoses at Twilight, respectively sung by Edith Arnold and ltose Sanelle. Geo. Snyder's laugh loosener, "Hussy Iziy," Is now delighting admirers of this style ot humor, and be Is ranking a special feature of "A Good Time" and "Mandy Lou." , .. >-iiA8. K. Habkis' Notes.— Never since the days of "After the Ball" has any song ever swept the country, and Is sweeping the coun- try, as Mr. Harris' now famous ballad, "Would You Care?" "I'm Trying So Hard to Forget You" 1b running a close second. Jos. E. Howard Is creating a sensation with his new song, "Central, Give Me Back My Dime. Mr. Howard has a knack of teaching the audi- ence the chorus from the stage, which cre- ates a great deal of enthusiasm and makes a hit with the audience as well bb the man- agement. There Ib no doubt that this song will be aa big a hit as his famous "Good-bye, My Lady Love." Fay Templeton'a new com- position, "Nobody But You," bids fair to eclipse all her former efforts In the song I ne. It has a beautiful, haunting melody, wlilih, once heard, can never be forgotten, and, liKe her famous song success, "I Want You Ma Honey," will soon be sung by all first class singers of America. ._ That a sono can bb too strong was de- monstrated one night last week, In Ncivburg, •>. Y. It seems that the action of a drama was Btopped by the rendering of Leo I cist s ballad, "Pal of Mine," and only after re- peated encores was the play allowed to pro- ceed. , Eva Allbn Is now In vaudeville, at present playing the Shea circuit of theatres. She is using, exclusively, the songs of llaymond A. Browne, Including "I'm Looking for a Sweet- heart," "I Wants a Man to Love Me All the Time" and "What You Want, and What You . Notes rnoM Jbromb H.

Notes from Walter Jacobs, Boston.— 7.,,. \ < " k( ! t..o'De«y Eour write that the song, By the Watermelon Vine," as especially fffS?" by V'??',*' * tremendous .success. in fact, one of the best songs they have used Jn » a .. l "i m V er 1 °« ?f l, , sonB -„ ™? * UI contlnuo tltSSj* Indcflnltely. Orgerlta Arnold, the talented soprano, who has recently gone Inlo vaudeville, reports excellent success with "On .°.i \2 y '. , A J l ? n ' s ncw coon » on 8. She mnde a decided hit last season with "Llndy Lou," and Is still featuring this song. Alfred An- derson, the "Male Melba," now In the middle West, writes Waller Jacobs as follows : " '.My Dusky Hose' Is one of the greatest hits I have ever sung, and you can depend upon my boost- ing It along for jou. It will be the big hit of the season." Keith and Kcrable's great Kuhc song, "Hey, Mister Joshua," has lately been Introduced into Miner's Dreamland Co., by Jolly Zcb. The song Is dressed up for n big number and was llrst put on at the Tro- endero Theatre, Philadelphia. Anderson and Golncs, colored singing mid dancing team, will Introduce the Itubc song hit, "Hey, Mister Joshua." They luvc some special work In the song that is sure to bring the house down. 1'iioM IIarri Von Tilzeb. —Uennlcr and Gaudier write that last week, at Hnmmer- steln's Victoria (return date), "Making Eyes" and "On the Hunks of the Rhine with a Stein," which are their feature Bongs, were hummed by the entire audience, nnd they never failed to take two and three en- cores. The Carmen Sisters, In addition to their novel banjo specialty, have Introduced In their net ".Making Eyes," which they do very cleverly. Harry von Tllzcr has never published a song that has come to the front ns fnst ns his new march song, "Walt Till the Sun Shines, Nellie." Kentiire acts on many bills are using this song with much success. Last week, In and around Ncw York It was being featured by the Trans- Atlantic Four, Arlington Quartette, Herald Square Comedy Four, Milton Kempner, Eleanor Wisdom, of the Corse I'ayton Stork Co.; Nick Parker, at the Yorkvllle Theatre: Emma Carus, at the Colonial, and many others. A new sono ivniTi'.r. has sprung Into light In the past mouth. Ills name Is J. J. Walker, and he is the son of Superintendent of 1'ubllc Buildings of New York. Mr. Walker has also had considerable experience nnd suc- cess on the platform, nnd has been nlcknnmcd In the political world "The Boy Orator." In the line of songs, he hns Just completed a very Jlngly lyric, called "Come Take n Spin In My Auto, which will be Introduced at once in "The Duke of Duluth," nnd for which Max M. Witt has written the music. The same management Is also expected to use Mr. Walker's new coon song, entitled "Solong. Mr. Jasper Long." for which Mr. Witt hits also furnished the melody. Mr. Walker's lyrics are pronounced by competent Judges as the finished article so much In demand by managers. Gkkaudv. the l'.clglnn 'cellist, who nrrlvcs In this country on Nov. 2, will lenve nt once for Indlnnnpolls, opening his season In thnt cltv on Nov. 0. He will afterwards visit St. Louis. Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit nnd Phil- adelphia, lie will be llrst heard In this city on Nov. 20, at Carnegie Hall: afterwards tit the same plnre with the Philharmonic Bo- clolv. the Boston Symphony, and In a Joint red'tnl with Mnrtoau. Tub k<iu.owix'i ur.roiiT nbont "The Babes In the Wood" production has reached Jos. W. Stern & Co., from their Plillndelphln renre- scntnllve: "Without question the recognized lilt of the Blmw Is your song, 'Mllo. At least ten choruses were sung. During the Inst chorus the stage Is entirely dnrk. Each member of Ihe company hns nn electric nookel 8Mb, and lo the music of the chorus thev flash Ihe HglitB until the nnmc 'Mllo' Is spelled, and nothing else but this In Been on the stage In Hie darkness. This effect, with the music, la very striking." Tub American invasion of notable acts In Enginnd continues, nnd prominent In the list we find Maud Courtney, playing return dutes nt all Ihe theatres, where her success has been unqunllSed. Miss Courtney, who sings the old songs, has added to her reper- tory Beveral ncw American ballads. Includ- ing: "Plain Little Soldier Man" and "When the Evening Breeze Is Sighing Home, Sweet Homo." which she Is compelled to repent to six nnd seven encores nightly. Tub WiNnson Music Co. informs us that their song, "Would You?" Is mnklng splendid headway, and the new song, "Tell Me Why, Little Girl." by the same writer, Evans Lloyd, is bound to be a great bit with the singing profession. Kelly and Violet arc fcntiirlng Bvans Lloyd's song, "Would YOU I and they write It Is a big success with their singing act. John T. WniwiBLD and John J.
