Walton and Brandt arc featuring the hurricane song tuccess, "AH Night Long." John Baxter Is also making some real nolss with this over night song sensation. Virginia Grant expresses herself as well pleased with the song repertoire she select- ed from the W. R. shop. "Oh, You Georgia Rose," being especially well liked by her au Florence Stlllwell Is exploiting several W. R. numbers successfully. "Texas Prance and "Oh, You Georgia Rose" are her feature songs "I'd Love to Live In Loveland With a Girl Like You" Is still a big bit with Boycr and I'rAnrh Ellda Morris, a rollicking hit at the Pal- ace, Chicago, week of 7, has taken a fancy to "All Night Long," and will Immediately make It her feature song. Flo Collier has two rousing numbers In "I'm Going to Take tho First Train" and "Oh. You Georgia Rose/' "You Can't Expect Kisses from Me. one of the biggest hits In the W. R. catalog.

"When I Met You Last Night In Dreamland The Curtis Bisters find In "A I Night Long" a ready encore gatherer. Grimm and E'llott also flnd.thlB number a splendid one for their particular requirements. Dorothy Vaughn Is back in Chicago after a prolonged tour of the far West. She re- ports "O-U-CIrcus Day" a complete riot with her everywhere Introduced. Charlotte Knvenscroft Is using "All Night Long" and "Keep on Lovln'," both with marked success. The Connolly Sisters are singing "AH Night Long," and from present Indications the song Is destined to be one of the grandest successes they have ever used. s BETTS & BINNER NOTES. Schultc and Kcenc, that entertaining duo, are now using "Burglar Man," which they say Is one of the best' numbers for their kind of work that they have yet had the pleasure of securing. These two performers predict a great future for this song. Stanley and Grey, those clever singers and dancers, have gradually worked their act up step by step, until they now begin to look like a real big time act. They arc using "There Is No Little Girl Like You." Hayes and Wlcr, that musical act of class, Is now playing the local vaudeville theatres In and near Chicago. Miss Wlcr Is a violin player whose ability surpasses that of any artist of whom wc have had the pleasure of hearing In a long while. She has added to her repertoire "There Is No Little Girl Llko You." Mr. Hayes Is the one man who can put over a talking song, and put It over right, outside of the celebrated George M. Cohan. Doretta Hoyden, who Is playing In tho South, Is a baritone singer of note, and is surely making a hit with her single act. She considers that the best number In her repertoire Is "There Is No Little Girl Like You." Bhe Is gathering her share of popu- larity with this one song. Dorothy Dodd, of the team Dodd and Gough, says they arc wild about "Rurglar Man." These people are now playing St Ixnils. OUT OF TOWN NEWS VV^®Hi:LVGrT01V.
