Our readers have witnessed many events in tbo past few years that have been Innova- tions Id the theatrical world. Firstly, wo had an "all star" week In vaudeville then we bad an "old timers" week, then ''Inter- national stars" week, and so on down the line, until we reached the so-called "song- writers convention." Cup contests were held by tho score, but at very few of these con- sole, and Is so pleased over the results al- ready shown that be can talk of little else. Standard Bearer Dick Jesa and President Milt Schmidt are saying little these days, but one sees them all over, constantly "Plugging" among tho press and public. An- other whose great work Is aiding the suc- cess of the affair is Harold Jones. His work In tbe immediate vicinity of the hall has raised the enthusiasm of tbe residents to a high pitch, and all are now eagerly awaiting the starting bell. AU Theatrical World Present.

And thero Isn't anyone who can truthfully say that ho or she did, so for that reason we aro all going to Journey to Burland Caclno, Pros- pect and Weatohester Avenues, Bronx, next Tuesday evening, March 10, and gaze at tbo greatest event ever held In tho world of theatricals, either In the past or present. All Writers Expect to Win. As before some Important contest both sides ere confident of carrying off the honors, so Is it with the writers entered In this con- test. Bach and every one who ban signified his Intention of making a supreme effort to beat the rest is confident that ho will be re- turned tho winner of the cup and the cham- pionship of America. With tho great amount of confidence emitted by each entry It Is a foregone conclusion that Napoleon's great fight ait Waterloo will appear as a sham battle in comparison with the struggle that will be made for Tiin Clippeh Cup next Tues- day evening at the affair of tbe Dkk Jess Association. Cup a Beautiful Trophy. The cnp which will be presented to tbe winner is perhaps tbe moat beautiful and artistic loving cup that has ever been given as a prize at a song contest. The cup waa (specially designed and engraved for Tub Ci.ii'1'eh by the Queen City Silver Company, of Cincinnati, O. No words nor camera ran describe tbe wonderful prize. The cup Is sixteen inches in height, gold lined, and has three French gray handles. It Is a tropby i well worth trying for, as with it goes tbo title of Champion of America and an amount of prestige to the winning bomb that could not be nought for ten thousand dollars. While talking of the cup we print for tho last time, and for those who have heretofore paid uo attention, tbo Boles Governing; Contest. The contest will start promptly at 10 p. Every contestant must be in tbo ball 9.15 7. x. and should report to Jack F.<. wards, chairman of the contest committee, as soon as he or she enters tho ball. Every contestant must enter with a song that is not over six months old. The contestant mutt have written tho lyric or melody of tbo song he or she sings. One verso and two choruses will bo the limit for participants, no encores allowad under any circumstances. Any aong writer using singing boosters or vandevUlo artists In the contest to loin in tbe chorus of his song will bo disqualified. Publishers can enter as many contestants as they care to, but each writer must sing his own song; no two writers of the same firm can sing the aame aong. The contest will bo decided by originality, simplicity of melody and lyric, delivery, octlon and enunciation of the singer. No form of advertising will be permitted in the ball except that which appears in tho official program of the Dick Jess Association. Publishers will not be allowed to flood the hall with chorus slips of songs being used by the contestants, i For the benefit of those who have not their* own pianist, Melville Morris has been selected •6 the official pianist for the contest. PROMINENT MEN AS JUDGES. Five solemn, silent men, who are promi- nent In tie theatrical world, with the writer as chairman and deciding member, will act as Judges of tho contest. Each man is known for his impartiality, sense of fairness, and for his known Judgement In rendering de- cisions that will meet with the approval of all concerned. Bach Judge will he fur- nished with a ballot upon which it printed the contestanti name, and wjt-n the last entry has finished his song they will select the winner In accordance with the rule« foveming tho contest. After the Judges nvo announced their decision tho members of (he Dick Jess Association will furnish yea's motion picture roan, has received prom- ise of every member of the Screen Club that they will be there in. a body. Managers of all city bouses have advised the committee that they will appear with their entire show. All tills but foreshadows the wonderful suc- cess that the contest and ball will be. A Treat for "Movie" Fans. The "movie" fans, as well as those whoso tastes run to the theatrical end, will all nave their Inning at this affair. A treat Is in store for those who admire the "movie" stars. By a wonderful piece of good for- tune, combined with some hard work, the association has obtained tho consent of Norma Phillips, "The Mutual Girl," to lend the grand march along with ono of the mnto stars of the film world. This Is indeed a treat for the fans, as it will give them the opportunity of studying "Tbe Mutual Qlrl" herself and tbe wonderful gowns she is now exhibiting at clote range. Other celebrities will vie for favor with Miss Phillips, among whom will be Mary Plckford, Lillian Walker. Alice Joyce, Anita Btewnrt, Miriam Ncsbltt, Billy Quirk, John Bonny, Irving Cummlngs and others of equal prominence. GBAND MARCH A FEATUBE. 'Another novel feature of the hall will bo the grand march. Favorable criticism has been received from s tlio newspapers by other associations for tie intricate formations of tlieir marches. Tbe grand march at tbe af- fair or the Dick Jess Association will bo a distinct departure from tbo old style. It has been named the "Tango Grand March," and Floor Manager Harry Rogers has prom- ised to surprise everyone present by showing evolutions that heretofore have never been conceived nor attempted; and wdlch will be tho talk of the evening. Don't forget next Tuesday night. The cup is now on exhibi- tion at Weber A Hellbroncr. Broadway and Forty-fourth Street, Now York. the present ones already handled by firm, makes their catalogue as good as best, tho the Mr. Stark, tho general manager, was very much Incensed when he learned that an an- nouncement had been mads that tho firm would discontinue. Dozens ef vaudeville acts read tho announcement and hurried to the offices on Forty-fifth only to find out that the firm was still on the Job handing out the usual material. BAY'S NEW ONE. Ray Walker placed a song with tho Leo Fclst Company last week that Phil Korn- bel8cr thinks should be a clean-up. It's n dog eong, and one of the best of its kind ever put on tho market, ED. TASSIE "1 refer to n»rry Von TDaer, whom I havo known for sixteen years, and during all of that time I have not known of him being without a bit I am going back to the dnys of 'I'd Lcavo My Happy Homo for You' and 'When the Harvest Hoys Aro Over, Jessie Dear.' And be was writing bits for ten years before I met him. "He has written waits songs, rag numbers and ballads of overy description, and after all these years of catering to the public taate he crowns all this success by writing a scml-lilgb class ballad, 'Last Night Was the End of tho Work!,' a tremendous bit from ono end of tbe country to the other.

Meyer had resigned from tbo firm, of the Geo. W". Meyer Mualc Company, that they were out of business. Maurice Richmond, tbe president of tbe company, denies that tho firm has any inten- tions of discontinuing tie business. Under his management the Geo. W. Meyer Company has, in a few years, taken Its place among tho leaders, and it seems absurd to think that a well established firm should close its doors on account of several of its writers resigning. It is Mr. Richmond's Intention to broaden tho field that be entered several years back, nnd make tbe Geo. W. Meyer Company one of the largest publishing bouses in tbe country. He wBl shortly enlarge his staff, having already In view several of tho best known boys In the music game. He will also accept compositions of all writers, as be does not intend to sign up with any composers. "Across the Great Divide," which is the feature song at tbe present time, Is showing up wonderfully, ana Mr. Richmond looks forward to It being one of the best songs published in years. He bas started an outside advertising campaign tbat should prove beneficial to all performers featuring this song. KENTJIS RETURNS.

Nat Vincent and Charley Morbus, the boys who look after the burlcsquo and small time acts for tbe Broadway Music Co., seem to have tho knack of convincing shows and acts that their songs are tbe goods. There hasn't been a show Into tbe Co- lumbia Theatre, New York, In the past twenty weeks that didn't have a number of theirs, end mado It a feature, at that Both boys are so well known and have such a fine personality tbat they find It llttlo trouble lo placing their songs.
