(nils remarkable genius has composed three now songs, entitled "I Loved You Since You Were a Baby," "That's the Combination of My Heart" and "Dreaming on the Amazon." There Isn't the least doubt but what Al. has again given the music loving public some- thing they have been clamoring for for some- time. All three songs bear the earmarks of lilts, and wo all know Al. can write them. Feist, of course, Is the publisher. MAKING GOOD. "Mooching Along at the Cotton Ball," Gil- bert and Mulr's new fast, rag march number, Is ready for band, nnd is rapidly gaining In popularity. The number la. at present the fcaturo of "Tho Queen of tho Movies," at the Illinois Theatre, in Ublougo. PASSES AWAY. Murray Wblteman, manager of the Phila- delphia office of the Broadway Music Co., writes me that his mother passed away last Saturday, May Q. After a short nines*. ARCHIE FLETCHER'S NEW SONG. "When I'm Sailing on the Nancy Lee," the new Joe Morris success, was written by Archie Fletcher, of the Philadelphia office. The number Is a fairly good one and should be in demand by those who require this style of song. WE MOURN OUR LOSS. The death of Arthur GUllsple was a great shock to many of his friends, as Arthur was around the street until the day before his death. He was one of the most liked boys in the game, and his loss Is very much felt. GUS EDWARDS auITS REMICK. Famous Gus, of the Edwards family, bond- ed la bis resignation to the Itemlck flrra last week. He has cot as yet signed with any other publisher, but don't be surprised to hear that he has located for himself some- where. PENN MUSIC COMPANY. The now famous tango, "Brazilian Dreams," issued by this Arm, Is toeing prominently fea- tured by Mr. and Mrs. Vcmon Castle, also Joan Sawyer, on their special dance tours throughout the big cities of the country. In fact it seems as If all the well known dancing experts, and, hundreds of others. And this tango .Oho one that is best suited to their work. Carter De Haven and wife. Flora Parker, are featuring two extremely pretty and dainty songs, published by the Penn Musi- Co., entitled "Everything Is Different Nowa- days" and "There Is Nothing, Dear, I Would- n't Do for You," botb written by the well known team of song writers, Messrs. Buck and Stamper, who at present are furnishing most of the big feature numbers for Zleg- feld'B "Follies of 1014." The balled, "Tho Rose of My Breams," Is gaining favor and popularity each month, and ia a sterling number for all ballad ■Inters and acts. All orchestra leaders, dancers, pianists, etc., will do well in getting tho other promi- nent nnd popular modern dance Issues of this llrm, such as "La Peusa" (the correct hesi- tation waits and very popular), "Septcmbcf Eve," a great one step and trot: "La Nativn" (new maxlxe Bresllllenne), "Breath of An- tunm'' (hesitation waltz), and don't over- look their new one-step, "King of Trots," Just being issued—H-looks like n ••sure-Ore" "SARI'S" WONDERFUL SUCCESS. In spite of the general cry of bad times, poor business, etc., it is doubly gratifying to note tho remarkable business enjoyed by the Hungarian operetta, "Sari," now In its fifth month at the New Amsterdam Theatre. A Sroductlon of real artistic merit like "Sari" oes not suffer when other unmusical and trashy attractions are affected by general adverse conditions.- Not In years has there been a musical play so highly spoken of by the general public, and such numbers as "Love's Own Sweet Song," "Hazazaa," "Faithful Stradivari," "Love Has Wings," are operatic gems which will live for many, many years. ... . Mlzzl Uajos. the youthful, magnetic star, has coron into her own and Is achieving the triumph of her career. H. W. Savage has given the play a superb setting; in fact, every detail of the production has been given the most careful and artistic consideration. More shows like."Sari" would put musical comedies back into the same favor In this country that they enjoyed before the. worth- less, hodge-podge masquerading under this came was foisted on the public. _ All or. the "Sari" music is published by J. W. Stern * Co. . THEODORE HORSE SAYINGS. Do the lyric boys know that "Vera Cms" is pronounced "Vera Cruth?" • That boosting grind hue started at "Coney Island," and the merry alrdomo circuit will soon be in full swing. Oil up your throats, boys.- •■.,.... i .. , Two great lines from recent popular songs: "When It Was Only Pretend," "I Wonder If You Have Forgot? 1 * Why is a Chicago office? "Guaranteed Under the Pure Song Law" will be a line run on all the songs soon. When Is a hit not a hilt? When yon sell me is at for 6 and C'/j and pay S to make it.

' PALEY MUSIC COMPANY. _ "Beautiful Eggs" Is getting some play In New York. It was sung for two weeks at the Alhambra Theatre by Juliette Dlka and Jack N'orwortn, and two more weeks at tho Colonial, by Adcle Ritchie and Jack Nor- worth; also at Uauimersteln's, for one week, by Adelc Ritchie, and at tho Busuwtck, Brook- lyn, by Ellda Morris. Qeorgic" is now being sung with wonder- ful success by Graco Do Mar and Adele Ritchie. "And Then" is still being featured by such acts as Burko and Harris, Adelo Ritchie, Grace De Mar, Bvsalo Wynn and Clara Inge. THAT TWO-TIME HIT. You've got to hand It Cbaa. K. Harris In being up to the minute. As Boon as war was talked about be gave a rush order to his printer for several thousand copies of (hat sterling number, "Break the News to Mother," and the demand was so great that a second edition has already been disposed of. WATERSON'S PET SONG. "Ia the Channel of Beautiful Lore," by B. C. Vaughau, Tom Franklin and Lew lord. Is a now number published by Waterson, Ber- lin & Snyder, that Chief Waterson thinks should clean up. MAtRICE RICHMOND NOTES. From all indications "Ho Was Always Fooling Around," by Billy Jerome and Aimer Urccnbcrg, looks like one of tho biggest bits ?ubllshed7 this season. Thcro isn't a subject bat Billy Jerome hasn't touched upon In writing extra verses and choruses. Italian, Adam and Eve, baseball, New York City, Mcxlcnn, Rip Van Winkle, automobile, a mule, etc. In fact each verse is funnier than the other. Looks like Billy will be kept busy writing extra verses and choruses for the rest of bis life on this number, for every act that has put It on reports it Ib a riot, and in- variably writes, "we must have more verses." Montgomery and Moore, at the Palace, this week stopped tho show with this song, and- Charles Evans Is featuring this number with the Lambs' Gambol. Jack Norworth bad thorn roaring at the Colonial, while Stuart Barnes, at the Or- pheum, Brooklyn, created more talk with tWa number than any song In bis repertoire. Anna Chandler, at Shea's, Toronto: Carl MoCulloueh, ait Keith's, Boston : Noll McKln- ley, at the Albambra Theatre, at Phlladel- fhin; Evelyn Cunningham, at Locw'B Na- lonal; Kelly and Galrin, at the Shuhert; Krcy and Victor, at Keith's Union Square, are all big hits with this wonder of wonders. Wo could mention a great many more acts who are singing this great "clown" souk, but space does not permit. Already every- body in tho music business, as well as In tho profession, Is talking about this remarkablo number. - "Ho Was Alw. ys Fooling Around" Is tho first "clown" song ever published.
