After an absence of two years, Bonlta re- lumed to Hammerstcin's Theatre, New York. and scored a hit with "What Did Romeo Say to Juliet." She sang it for her third song, but nothing else could follow this number, so she Immediately put It down for her clos- ing song. My I My r what a hit I "You Are the Rose of My Heart" Is tho number that Nina Payne Is making such a Wg hit with at the fifth Avenue Theatre. one follows this number wdth her dance, and very often the dance Is Interrupted by the tremendous applause, to give Miss Payno a chance to take a few more bows. Gertrude Cogut, at Loew's Seventh. Ave- Me Theatre, Is more than a hit with "You Are the Boso of My Heart." Gertrudo Is a sensation. Oh! how Gertrude sings this beautiful "rose" Bong.

So, get together, one and all. The new era hat dawned. Ed. Madden may bo thin and "thathy" but bo's long on lyrics. Ray Gocts still retains bis rosy checks and smiling eyes. There's many a good singing act dining In the Automat. UELF moves to larger QUARTERS. J. Fred nelf, who has been ono of tho public's chief suppliers of popular music for the past fifteen years, bus at last been com- pelled to enlarge his offices.

"When Yon Play in the Gamo of Love" (Leo. FelBt). "That Crooner Melody" (Waterson. Berlin A Snyder). "When They Start tho Vlotrola" (Maurice Abrahams Co.) "Fatherland. Motherland, tho Homo of My Best Girl" (Shaplro-Bcrnstcln). "When It's Night-time Down In Bur- gundy" (Jerome II. Remlck Co.) "Wheal You're a Long. Long Way from Home" (Broadway Music Co.) ELEANOR SHERMAN. . Formerly with the Vltagraph Company of America, now at the Amusement Palace In Brooklyn, Is featuring the following songs, all published by_F. B. Haviland Pub. ( o.: "In the Town Where I Was Born," "When AH the World's at Peace," "While the Stars In tho Heavens Shlno On," "Good-bye, Llttlo Girl of My Dreams." the next hit wouldn't be a "war" song. "TIpperarj" Is just ono of those nice little swinging Irish songs that any of our writers could turn out In an hour. There is u it a "raggy" note or word in It, which should cause those writers who always tie the last note of the bar to the first note ot the next to sit up and tako notice. Phil iCornhcliter has a find In Howard Johnson. Thli young man sings nicely, plays beautifully and writes words rhythmically. The London police arrested a German muslo publisher, and his house was found to be a miniature forti built of steel, rein- forced with concrete. Well wo have 'cm here, too, but the concrete Isn't confined to tho building. If some publisher wants a great song, one that is timely, not a "war," "peace" or "novelty" song, but a great song, ho should) revtvo "Tho Meaning of U. S. A." This song was written by Raymond A. Browne, as great a lyric writer as over looked a pub- lisher In tho eye, and who, if bo didn't have on enormous "roll," would probably be turn- ing out hit after nit right now. The words) of tho chorus aro worthy ot repltltlon, and also tho attention of a few ot our "homa" and "alone" rhymers: Tho "TJ" stands for Union Eternal. I Tho "S" for tho Stripes and the Stars,) The "A" for our army, undefeated, The victor In a dozen wars. The "TJ" stands for our Uncle Sammyj The "S" for his ships In stern array, And "A" tho Almighty Ono who guards OS, that's Tho meaning of TJ. S. A. At lant the "words and music" men are coming Into their own. The American Be- ing that the J. Fred Holt Company will shortly move Into their, new and spacious offices, and will, as usual, be on the Job to cater to tho wants of all performers. Mr. flelf. In an Interview, stated that he has several now songs that ho predicts will bo as successful as any that he has ever written. His new offices are fitted up In handsome- shape, and Mr. Holf himself Is looking after the different fixtures and is not overlooking anything to Interfere with tho comfort of his friends. He has Installed three large piano rooms, a largo professional room, and a stock room that will hold enough music to supply every Woolworth and Kregso store In the country". Tr He will make an announcement shortly la this paper giving a complcto list of all his now publications. RODER SWITCHES. Billy Roder, who was formerly connected With tho Western office of tho Broadway Music Co., Is now boosting din Harry Von Tllzer songs In tho Windy City. "Wnger In tho PIo has proven a big winner, but tho leader ot them all Is "Last Night Was the Hind of the World." THEODORE MORSE NO LONGER UNDER CONTRACT. Theodore Morse la no longer connected!
