W MELODY LANE DX JACK SDWaXOS. FAR OFF AS EVER. The proposed big music combine, which started things among the publishers last week, seems to have died a horrible death. Hanj of the leading New York music pub- lishers were Interviewed by a Wall Street promoter with the idea of consolidation, and while a few looked favorably on the idea, the bulk seemed to take the matter as a joke. Several of the publishers who are laid to hate signed a paper giving an option on their business, deny this statement. Al- though there isn't a music publisher in the business that wouldn't sell If be got his r>rlce. I don't believe there Is money enough Id Wall Street at the present time to buy oat even two of tbe largest firms. There are so manv reasons why an Idea of this nature never will be that it U useless to waste much space. Such a thing as doing without boosters and advertising is too ridiculous. Songs have to be popularised tod a demand created, and there Is no other way of bringing the public's attention to a ■cw song. While the scheme, In some sense, Is a good one, the time Is not yet ripe. When the troper time does.come no outside help win I necessary. There Is a remedy needed In tbe most* business under the prevailing methods, nnd that remedy will only he found w&en the music publishers get together among them- selves ■ A NEW GILBERT AND BOLLS NVMBER. "You're the Fairest Little Daisy" Is the litest composition turned out by those well known writers, L. Wolf Gilbert and Kerry Hills. Tbe song Is only a week old and is already In the repertoire of vaudeville's big- gest acts. The story Is well written and the melody, by Kerry Mills, is Hie Unit that he las turned out in some time. L. Wolf Gilbert, wjo wrote the words, is turning out hit after hit. This Is his first endeavor in this style of song, and the progress of It will be watched with much interest , DAVE OK VACATION. Dave Oppenheim, Sbaplro-Bernsteln Mnslc Co.'s professional manager, started on a week's vacation last week. He left no ad- dress. SOW A BOOKING AGENT. Bob Ransack, of Shapiro's, has become a looking agent He Is filling In Hammer- stein's bill with a slide singer, and the Idea teems to nave caught on at the corner. I A. UnoOKLY.V GEM. Essie Burke, of the Paley Music Co., who Is known to her many friends as "tbe little Brooklyn girl with the big voice," is one of the most popular young ladles in tbe music business. Although ehe has not sung la public until recently, her success was instan- taneous, and she Is acknowledged to have scored one of the biggest personal hits of tbe season. Possessed of a charming per- sonality. Mass Burke endears herself to all nth whom she comes In contact She lately uade her debut In cabaret circles, and enter- tains on Saturday and Sunday evenings of each week at tbe Belvldsre Cafe, in Brook- lyn, where her spirited Interpretation of a well chosen repertoire, including "And Then," alghtly rings her well deserved success, MUCH Mf SIC LOST. Complaints hare recently been received by many music publishers that roles of music addressed to performers at theatres have gone astray. It seems that the music Is cong- ested on the way, as the publisher always kas his Imprint on tbe wrapper To Insure safe delivery a pHIn wrapper wouldn't 'be a bed Idea, and to make It more safe, the music could be sent care of gen- eral delivery. 1HA A BUSY DOT. Ira Schuster, one of the boosters with Leo Feist, covered many theatres last week, placing many of the songs of his firm with several leading vaudeville acta, LEWIS F. MITB TO RETURN SOON. Lewis F. Moir and Pete Wcadling, who have been in England for a month, sail for home on Dec. 7. ^^ TTi¥ r -. Malr miie the hit of his career at the Hippodrome, being assisted by Mr. Wendllng.

"The Whistling Coon," published J* Wm. A. Pond A Co., was a very popular number, sung by Sam Devere. TALELETS TOLD BY STERN PLCGGERS. "You've got to hand It to this house for ft"™"* professionals real 'live wires.'" said nalph Levey, the professional manager, for Instance," he continued, "take Harry 'iroux and Georgina Campbell, who arc clean- ing up this week on the bill at Proctor's Jewark Theatre. The act Is a riot—they're SS lD / N'Kbts of Gladness,' 'My Heart Shall *ind Your Heart* and 'Come, Dear, and owing with Me.' Miss Campbell, who hap- pens to be a niece of May Irwin, told me that they were the greatest trio of song hltd she has ever used." Here's the way Adcle Leavltt gave It to me: "Edna Whistler stopped the show with Tallin - the Jack' In Hartford, Conn. Hiss Whistler isn't the only one that Is doing wonders with 'Ballin' the Jack.' Lillian Lorraine and scores of others are making reputations with It." Jack Both, in charge of the orchestra de- partment, was busy, as usual. But Jack's a good fellow, and although he kept right on working, he sold "Golden Buttercups Idyll," by Eugene Platzmann, Is a cinch, ana is elng plbayed In almost every moving picture theatre In the country. By the way, "Over the Great Divide" has Jose been issued for dance orchestra, and it's a ploln. May McCarthy said that Pmky William*, the cabaret singer and dancer, at the Bunyan Restaurant, New York Cto, Is entertaining big crowds with "AH the Little Lovln' That I Had for You Is Gone! Gone! Gonel" and "Ballin' the Jack." Quoting Mies William** own words, she says "may certainly are 'some' songs." Here's a bit of news that almost landed Harry Tymeson and Tony Olshane before a police magistrate, on a charge of Mocking traffic. You see, Harry and Tony went down to Pulton Street, New York City, one day last week, to demonstrate the Stern suc- cesses at the Pulton Music Store, on Cliurd Street No sooner old the captivating strains of "All the Little Lovia' that I Had for You Is Gone! Gonel Gone!" usher forth through the open door into the street, than a big crowd gathered In front of the store, blocking tbe sidewalk so that It was Impossible to pass. Tbe policeman on post dldn t know what it was all about so he made Us wax to the scene where music filled tbe air. After a good deal of persuasion on tbe part of the officer, he finally Induced tbe crowd to move on, and as (her did, one heard tbe people singing, humming or whistling, "All the Little Lovln' That I Had for You Is Gone! Gone! Gonel" "Here are actual facts." said Teddy Wens- Ilk. "Look at this batch of letters," and I did. The one from J. N. Russell, of Monte- Carlo Co., now playing In North Dakota, eald that "Harmony Joe," "I Want to Be Somebody's Baby Girl" and "Take Me to That Tango Tea," wero three big encore getters; Esma Clifford, of the Clifford Musi- cal Comedy Co., now playing in Seattle, wrote that "Over the Great Divide" was scoring an emphatic hit; the University Quar- tette, or St. Louis, wrote that "All tie Little Lovln' That I Had for You is Gone! Gone 1 Gone 1" and "Junkman Bag" were the two biggest numbers they had ever featured ; from Bader Bros, and company, novelty Western singing act, now playing In St Louis, came the word that "Bnlttn* the Jack'* was a tremendous success with them. It was Edna Williams who Informed me that she had just received word from Carrie Reynolds to the effect that Miss Reynn'ds was doing wonders with "Over tho Great Divide." "'Pon my word," said Miss Will- lams, "you ought to see tbe acts that come In here daily to hear 'Over tbe Great Divide." WILL ROS8ITBR GOSSIP. Dean and Gibson, sow in the Northwest, are delighting their audiences with their ren- ditions of "You Were All I Had." The Two Canadian Pennies sre featuring "Bring Mo Bark My Lovin' Honey Boy," and as a result of their success with this song they have In rehearsal two other Will Bossi- ter numbers. Ltghtner and Jordan, one of tbe cleverest of so-called sister acts In vaudeville, have a wonderfully arranged repertoire, consisting of "You Were All I Had." "I'm Savin* All My Lovln' for You," "Bring Me Back My Lovln' Honoy Boy" and "I'd Give tbe Wor'd If I Had You." Mason and Sullivan, two strenuous song, promoters, are a hit with "My Old Log Cabin Home," "Bring Me Back My Lovln' Honey Boy" and "Yon Were All I Had." Helen Jessie Moore, with the Rector Qir's, Is reaping recalls with "Bring Me Back My Lovln' Honey Boy." Emma O'Netl, with the Ben Welch Bur- lesnuers, Is using "I Wonder Where My Easy Kider's Gone" and "Bring Me Back 3iy Lovin' Honey Boy" with decided success. Fletcher Norton and Maude Earl bavc Just returned from a very successful tour over the 8. A C. time, and have in rehearsal "I'm Savin' All My Lovln' for You." The Rossdell Singers, week of Nov. 24, Hippodrome, Chicago, were a substantial hit with a Will Rosslter repertoire, featuring "You Were All I Had." KALMAR & PUCK'S NOTES. Hapny Harry Schwartz, playing tie North- western time, writes In that he is a terrific hit with "Where Did You Get That Girl" and "My Hidden Treasure." Diamond and Brennan, at the Colonial this week, are singing Kalmar & Puck's latest sensation. "I Want a Ragtime Bungalow, taking several encores. ...... Contwell and Walker, at the BOshwlck this week, are Blnglng "Kiss Me, I've Never Been Kissed Before," which is going very big for Bert Kalmar's latest success, "I Want a Ragtime Bungalow," is packing Kalmar A Puck's office to suffocation. _.„.
