The New York Clipper (April 1914)

APRILS THENEW YOKE CLIPPER, MBIvODY LANB. BY JACK EDWABD9. LACK OF SONG "fflTS" REAL CAUSE OF DULL BUSINESS. When all this talk about Holy Week and |ho country's condition ceases, composers and music publishers will get down to real facts to get at the bottom of the poor busi- ness now being felt In the music game. How manv real song hits arc -there on the market 10-day? Very few Indeed. There are any amount of song successes, but the ones that ipell hits are few and far between. Out of a total of over thirty large pub- lishers there Is only one that Is enjoying the wave of prosperity, and that Is because tms publisher has been wise enough In studying the public's wants and selecting songs that will induce them to buy. I'm not saying that there are no clever songs; in fact, never In the history of music hna there been such an abundance of original melodies and Ideas, but they don't seem to have the right kind of stuff to make them popular with the music buying pniillc. A great deal of the trouble nowadays Is that publishers .ire spending too much money on songs thnt do not come up to the require- ments of the music standard. They should concentrate they whole attention on two or three numbers as in the good old days, or ten years ago. Another filing that publishers arc neglect- ing Is advertising their numbers, a thing that has always been instrumental In getting their new publications In the bands of the smnller performers. Too much attention is paid to the feature acts. There arc upwards of rtiliree thousand small moving picture houses In Now York and Brooklyn, and out of that grand total It's a safe bet to wager that about one-third of these nre covered. I'm speaking principally of the houses that have a seating capacity of from three to rive hundred. Advertsing Is one of the biggest assets of the music pub- lishing business, and Just think of It, only about four of all the publishers In this and other cities are availing themselves of this opportunity. To bear out this statement, the four wise ones are getting the cream of the tuHtnees at the present day. Consistent advertising is what pays; keep your Imprint always before those that are constantly re- hiring songs. Just try this little tip and rat down your paying acts accjunt and de- vote It to newspaper advertising. The public want songs and must have fhetn, but won't tolerate songs that do not appeal to them. i HOE KLEEMAX'S REMARKABLE WORK. Moe Kleeman, wbo took charge of the professional department of tbe Maurice Rlch- nond Music Co. some time ago, has performed tome wonderful work for his firm. With practically no songs to work on when be be- gan his duties, he has by consistent plugging got together a fine cataloge of novelties, several of which bear all the earmarks of becoming quite popular under his guidance. ANOTHER HIGH TIDE IN THE PRICE OF POPULAR SONGS. The Jerome H. Remlck Co. last .week pur- chased from 0. E. .Story, of Boston, a woo- ierful ballad called "The Rose of the Moun- tain Trail," that Mose Gumble predicts will ratsell any song of Its kind ever put on the market. Tir Igures. price paid was in the four TWO CUP WINNERS. At the song publishers' contest, held at Loew's Boulevard Theatre, last Thursday rvenlng, for women only. Rose Mullor was declared the winner. She sang "She's Dan-' rfng Her Heart Away." Dorothy Saunders also won a cup, featuring "Oimpmeoting Band." THE PRIZE SONG. 'The San Antonio Swing," composed of J. W". Buford, was chosen as the prize song by the Felsta San Janclnto Association of San Antonio. Tex. SOME BOOSTER. Jack Robblne, of the Maurice Tblehmond Huslc Co. was highly elated last week over the fact that he had no less than fory well known acts on his books. A RAVE FROM AL. Al. Piautodosl, the boy that surely knows low to turn out melodies, takes exception to the article appearing In this column last week in reference to lyric writers being •carre. Al. thinks that there arc more in the market to-day than ever before, and to K>vo this assertion says he will shortly ro- se an Idea that will startle tbe music world. We're all waiting, Ah 1VTE To commnalcate with a person of INFLUENCE 1b tbe Music Business In NKW YORK OITY •ho will consider a percentage proposition for helping to Introduce n sonic of tremendous possibilities.

It was written by Sidney D. Mitchell, pro- fessional manager for the firm. ;-nd is being featured by many acts. SA3I BERNARD'S WONDERFUL SONG. If advertising will make a song the new Fischer and Bryan cyclone, "Who Paid Mrs. r.lp Van Winkle's Rent While Rip Van Winkle Was Away," should prove one of tbe greatest successes In songdom. New York dailies are devoting column after column telling' how Sam Bernard Is making the hit of his career nightly featuring this remarkable number. It Is one of the most original ideas In songs that hns been released for some years, and Las a melody that carries one in the very heart of the song. Phil Kornhelser, Feist's general manager, predicts that It will be the biggest hit his house has ever bad, and that's going some. (HAS. K. IIARRIS RECEIVES A GOOD SUGGESTION. Cms. K. Harris, the foremost ballad writer of America, received the following letter last week. The writer, "feeling sorry" that Mr. Harris has not written a song bit since "After the Ball," tells htm how he can pro- duce another such number. It Is really amusing to note how little the general outsider knows of the music business. Cincinnati, 8, 27. Ciias. If. Harris: Columbia Theatre Bids., Now York City. Sir.—'You have not published a real song song since "After the Ball." Perhaps you know why. but In ease you don't try and get this. Most of you song publishers think all the brains Is In New York. You are sur- rounded by a bunch of song writing simps, who prowl up and down tbe streets, rushing here and there. In and out of offices; In fact, looking everywhere except the right-place for catchy titles and subject matter for a real song. Now Is It any wonder that you glnks pull a real songs about every twenty years. I know you get by with some awful stuff once In a while, but consider what it costs ?ou. Did It ever strike you If you were able o produce something with real merit, say once a month, it would nay you bettor In tho long run. Now get ready 'or what's coming, but in case you arc too busy to read suggestions that will mean money to you, throw this note In tbe waste basket. Pardon my digres- sion for Just a moment, I know a fellow la Kentucky who knew so much about nils busi- ness that he throw all his mall, that didn't contain money, Into a trig box under the counter, In six months, when ho was Just about ready to blow up, ne went through this waste paper and found enough helpful sug- gestions to get back on easy street. ■ I can write songs, if you have anyone In Now York that knows how to compose melo- dies lead me to him. You've spent a lot on dead ones, why not take a chance on yours truly, I might put one over. Of course most of us who live down here In the woods are boneheads, ex-President Taft lived In the jungles here, so did Randolph Chester. They're both making n little piece of change now. Suppose you write me anyway. C. It. W. PAYING OF SINGERS REACHES THE LIMIT. An Incident thnt will long be remembered by Meyer Cohan, professional manager for Chris. K. Harris occurred last week hi the Harris office. Mr. Cohan relates It as fol- lows : "About three weeks ago a voung woman called upon me and requested nn orchestra* tlon of 'After the Ball,' as she was going to use It the week following. Much against my policy I told her to call In a day or so and I would have It ready. She called and secured the orchestration, and for a week I heard nothing from her. A manager of one of the Montreal theatres wrote me for a copy of 'After the Ball," saying that It had been sung In bis theatre by a young woman and made the biggest hit big house had ever known. I decided that the young woman I made the orchestration for was the singer. "Finally, one day last week as I was going out to lunch a young woman came Into my office and I at once recognized her as tho singer. 'She told me of the big success she had with the song, and concluded by saylnc, 'Mr. Cohan, business Is business, I have several offers from other publishers to sing a ballad but I like your number the best; what I mint to know It- this, how much, do you In- tend to pay me for singing It* I was so dumbfounded at first that I was unablo to speak. The Idea of paying a singer to Intro- duce a song twenty-one years old was too much for me. Words can hardly describe what I thought. I bold the young woman a few things and she loft vowing never to sing the number again." The above, dear reader, Is only a samplo of what paying singers Is coming to. PETE WENDLINC SOME RECORD MAKER. The American Piano Co., who are making records of popular numbers and medleyn, chose Pcto Wendllng as one host fellow for this work. Pote made over fifty records last week, and that's going some. WHERE ARE THE SUMMER SONGSr Have you ever seen such a lack of Sum- mer songs as Is noticeable this Spring? There isn't a real one on the mnrket to-dny. It Is a general thing In tbe business for each house to have one or more of this style of song on Its wav to popularity long before this time. Arc Ideas for Summer played, out? TEN HOST POPULAR SONGS L AST WEE K, "Who Paid Mrs. Rip Van Winkle's Bent?" Foist "A Real Moving Picture from Life" Von Tllzer "Get Out and Get Under". ■ .Abrahams "I'm On My Way to Mandalay".. .Feist "Campmeetlng; Band" Mills "•Suppose I Met You Face to Face" Harris "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm".Remlck "If You Were the Ocean and I Were tho Shore" Richmond "In the Candle Light" Wttmark "Hesitate Me Around, Bill" Morse ANOTHER MCIR AND GILBERT HIT. Not being satisfied with turning out sev- eral hits tho year, Lewis F. Mulr and Wolfo Gilbert quietly sUpped one over on the buncbj last week by having their latest number, en- titled "Mootchlng Along'' (At tho Cotton Ball), Interpolated In "Tho Queen of the Movies," now playing so successfully in New York. The song proved tho biggest hit of the show; In fact, on Its first appearance nearly ttopped the performance. The melody Is a typical Lewis F. Mulr brand, the kind that Instantly sets your feet moving. WITH THE LUCKY-BUCKBYB PUBLISHERS. Business 49 good. Everyone connected with the office Is working hard, The two big num- bers In the catalogue at present are "fliat Is Why I Love You," which is going tremend- ously big everywhere, and that new Idea rag sensation, "Why Don'4 You Advertise?" We have two new numbers that will be released shortly, through Tub Clifpeib, that look like the real goods. Tbe new ones are "I Want a Regular Beau" and "Lonely Rose." Columbus 0.. music lovers are being treat- ed to a real musical treat tbls week. Mario Wright Is featuring "I Want a Regular Beau," and is "tho talk of the town." We wish to thank the scores of performers who are helping to popularize our great ballad success. Among the many classy acts using this number are: Billy Beard, Paul and Marralon Stone, Chicken Farm Quartette, Leonard Gilbert, Bcnway and Dayton, Harry Parker and Cabaret Girls, Cameron nnd Sherwood. Anthony Q. Kortekamp, J. if. Cherry, Jessie Colton, Zenith and White. cow In England; Chao. A. Kitchen, pianist with Six Lodores, now In London, and many others too numerous to mention. WITH TELL TAYLOR. Bob Dally and his four corking good en- tertainers are featuring "When the Maplo Leaves Wore Palling," and. In fact, all of Tell Taylor's good songs, and are meeting with great success at Llpman'a Old Style Inn. Catch them, they're great. Bernlcc Marlon, "Tbe Girl with tho Golden Voice." has added two of Tell Taylor's great ballads to her repertoire, and reports that "When the Maplo Leaves Were Falling" and "To-Morrow May Bring Me You" are two great songs for her, and Bernlce ought to Erow. as she has a wonderful voice and can. slug to please any audience. Ed. Cameron of the College Four, Is taking encore after encore at the Edelweiss Cafe, singing "Bless the Day I First Met You. 1 ' Go and beer Ed alng ft, he Is a won- der. Jack O'Lcary, the singing bird, returns to Madison Street again next week singing "To- Morrow May Bring Me You." Just watch tho doors at the Casino Theatre when Jack gets back on the Job. Tell Taylor has got a corking good novelty song Just from tho pcoh of Stanley and Little, ana looks like a sure tiro bib It has a won- derful set of lyrics, with a meat catchy melody and some •title, "Broadway l/ove. Now I'll leave It to you. Isn't that some title? Keith and Kernan. in a story of salt and song ploy the Majestic Theatre here in a couple of week*, and are featuring Tell Tay- lor's wonderful success, "When the Maplo Leaves Were Fading." Mr. Keith is some singer and Kernan. some artist; altogether some combination. BREEDINGS FROM JOB DALY. Bobby Nelson, one of Daly's boys, won tbe cup at the Casino Theatre. Brooklyn, last Wednesday tight m "Heart of i City." which was awarded by the Bon Ton Bur- lesque. Fifteen of New Yorkto leading pub- lishers contested, but it was a walkaway for Bobby. The Olio Trio are using Daly's "Heart of a City," and report that It Is going over for them at every performance. George Whltakor Is no longer connected with the Daly Pub. Co. Nelson ana Dougal reported that at every show they cleaned up with Daly's big hit, "Heart of a City." They wore nlso using two of Daly's novelty numbers. "What Will I Tell Her Tonight" and "Within tho Law." All tho numbers helped to mnko their act a fine success. Mciwln Kirkpntrlck, who Is featuring "Heart of a City," with "Tho 'House of Bond- age," around Philadelphia, Is putting this number for a hit. In that city, Daly's new ballad, entitled "Flow Easy It Is to Remember tho Things That You'd Llko to Forget" looks like a suro winner to follow his tremendous lilt. "Heart of a City." "Tho Futurist" Is ono of tho biggest Hesi- tation wnltr.es fn New York to-ilny. This Is being featured by all tho leading orches- tras. SOME BONO ROOSTING. From tho West.—The Slirlners will go In four divisions by four of tho mil roads trad- ing out of California, and will combine on May 3 at Kansas City In ono Immense special train and start for St. Louis and will go from the.-o to Chicago. Toledo, Cleveland, Erie. Niagara Falls. Buffalo, Rochester, ntlrn, Albany, Troy, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, nnd on to Atlanta, where tho Imperial Council will bo held. More than a thousand Shrlnern will Join tn this trip, nnd will give tho State of California the greatest campaign of boosting that It ever had. Wherever they go you will hear their great Fflng, "Ten Million Dollar Band," and over thirty thousand Shriners will alng that song In Atlanta. Don't think now It Is an adver- tising song, liocniiso It is the greatest nnd snappiest rag ever written, with an original lyric all of Its own. A NEW COMEDY IDEA. "When Father Put the Paper on tho Willi" Is n new comply song by Jack Malwney thnt Is creating nulto Homo talk in songdom. The idea is very original and contains many laughs. The song Is already being featured by many acts, tho verdict uedng tho name, "a big hit" OPT OF TOWN NEWS Louisville, Ky^facaulcy's (John T. Mi- cauley, mgr.)
