Tbe amateurs sang their songs, sand- wiched In between song boosters from several publishers. One pair of boosters appeared with baggy trousers, unpolished shoes and unshaven fares.

Tub most despicable thing we've heard of In a long "whllo is-a melody writer connected with a certain bouse, who tells tbe '.tfrca- lance" lyric writers that his contract calls for. voras. and musio, and that If be acceptb their lyrics he will have to buy tbem out- right, or If he can't, that, the lyric writer must collect bis royalty from him.

For J. Walter has Joined a bowling club which meets, on tbe third doy of each week, and tbe greatest act In toe world 19 not sufficiently Important to induce blm to give up bis best beloved pastime. Knockers have said that some of bia melodies sound as though be composed tbem in the midst of a bowling tournament. It this 1b true, It would be a wise Innovation fcr other aspiring composers to try bowling. TELL TAYLOR'S NEW SUITE. Simultaneously with changing bis New fork headquarters, Tell Taylor has moved tUs Chicago offices fiom the rear suite of the sixth floor In the- George M. Cohan's Grand Opera House Building to a choice por- tion of the front end of the same floor, di- rectly adjoining the elevator. One-half of the large floor space has been reserved for a stock room, while the other, hoif is being used for professional purposes. Toll's cata- logue "was never In a better condition, and with "Chinese Blues" and "Jitney Jim" well on tbe way to success, the aggressive voimt publisher docs not hesitate to Inrur addi- tional expenditures. SPECIAL SONGS. Chicago la geltlog In be a Mecca centre for special songs. Many acts yho have bad ma- terial written la the ttast and find It lacking In some respects when they reach the "Windy City." eagerly seek suitable material as son ss they set Into town. Tho boys wbo do thb kind of work find competition far less keen than In the East, and are reaping qoltc a harvest. WILL ROSBPTRR'S "TIMELY TITS." The Dolce Sisters arc making their usual big hit on tbe Loew time and still potting over "Just for To-Nlgbt," but are busy re- hearsing "LovelAjid Days." llronson and Baldwin were a big hit at the Majestic Theatre, Chicago, last week. They declare "Loveland Days will be the biggest song hit they've ever put over. . Helen Trlx registered o big bit at the Wil- son Theatre, Chicago, with tier own compo- sitions, also "I'm a Long Way from Tltt- perary" as her final encore. Francis X. Bushman's beautiful waits bal- lad, "My Ship o' Dreams," Is proving a grand success In every way. "Movie'' mana- gers are.selling copies In their theatres on "Bushman" nights. Virginia Grant (a real voice) Is rehearsing- "Loveland Days," easily the artistic hit of the bill last week at the Great Northern Hippodrome, Chicago. Park. Rome and Francis, that classy tbree man trio, arc busy rehearsing several new and unpublished Will Rossltor songs. It goes without saying they'll also feature "Loveland Days." Mildred Davles Is making a big hit with. "Loveland Days." Some song, some singer. TAKE EDWARDS' ADVICE. A few weeks ago Jack 'Edwards advised publishers to dig up a real Summer song and go after it Park, Daniels ft Friedman de- cided to follow bis advice, for they are push- ing what looks like a sure-fire Summer song,' entitled "Me For You In the Summertime. Milton Well confidently predicts this song will sweep the whole country within a few JOS. W. STERN Sc. CO.'S DIG PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. Realizing that they have an unusual sons In "My Little Dream Girl," Jos. W. Stern & Co. are going after the number, tooth and nail. The lucky writers. L. Wolfe Gilbert and Anatol Frfedlnnd, nave been working tie West, with Chicago as tbelr headquarters, and In lois than four weeks tbe son,; bas sprung Into nation-wide fnvor. Liberal space bas been contracted for In the principal the- atrical and trade papers, and the big popu- lar mediums, such as The Saturdou evening rost, will assist In the publicity campaign. Never In the curcer of the house of Stern ft Co., who hnve put over more bnllnd BUcceraes Than any publisher, have they had one which 'fmrang Into prominence as rapidly as "My Little Dream Girl," and Judging from tbo tales to date, this Bong Is sure to reach the million copy mark. «BY DECK." S. R. Henry's unique Instrumental compos'.- on, "By Heck," has cetalnly created wide ead comment among leaders, dancers and Jngers. At first, musicians did not know Just what to think of It owing to Its extreme originality, particularly In the trio, where every alternate bar Is a rest. It took then a attle while to get tbe hang of It. so to speak, but after thev did. nothing could stop tbem tram playing It four to six ttaeB every even- ing. It Is uhcJ both as a fox trot and one- step. L. Wolfe Olll»-;rt wrote a very clever lyric to the song, .which bas been Introduced lp vaudeville by somo of the best hendllnera, such as Fanny Brlce, Carter De Haven, etc, CHICAGO IffiLODY LANE, Frank Tyler Daniels, a member of the linn -of Parke, Daniels A Friedman, left Chicago last Saturday for a tour of the Boat, where be will exploit a new Summer song with tho tjtlo "You for Me In the Summortlne" Daniels will visit fourteen cities between Detroit nnd New York. . Abe Olmon returned from his New York visit this week. The two big songs now occupying the attention of the La Salle Pub- lishers, of which he Is tbe head, these days are "If You've Got a Little Bit Hang On to It 'Cause It's Hard to Get a Little Bit Mere," and "Sooner or Later." '■Hilton Well, mnoagor of Parke, Daniels & Fylcdmnn, bas discovered a "find" In the .person of Roy Ingraham, brother of the Inte Herbert Ingraham. who is the author of "You for Me In the Sqmmorrlme," and Is only sixteen years of age. nodges and Tyncs have selected for -their singing repertoire. "I'll Rctnrn In the Springtime, Acusbla Mncbree." and "I Will Always Lovo You," Parke, Daniels A Friedman publications. 'The three big numbers .now being pushed by the McKlnley Music Publishing Company arc "The Kiss That Mhdo Yon Mine," ^I'nj TiOrurlng for Old Virginia nnd You" and "I'll Beturn, Mother, Darling, to Yon." This la a trio of successful songs, and about tbo best numbers ever published by thl* lions". ^AI.
