New York Clipper (May 1915)

May 22 THE NEW YORK CLIPPER TEDDY MORSE'S MUSINGS, United Song Writers' Boll a. Hit. Song writers like to use the. words "riot,'' "knock* out." sensation," "wonder" In speaking of ibelr Bongs', but when they pet together and "run" a tell, tbey are more modest. Nobody makes tbe claim that tbe first ball of tbe United Song Writers of America was any of tbe above, but as tbe pub- lipbers say In their Clippeb ads.: 'This number was tried out last Saturday night, and It icent great.'' All who could possibly attend were pres- ent, and It was as nice and as pleasant an affair as any one could wish. A splendid show <vaa given between dances, and among tbe many wbo enter- tained were: Harry Ttgbe and Babtootte, Bert Fltz- glbbon, Sally Fields, O'Brien, Ccrmack' and O'Brien, W. C. Field. Bernard Granville. Harry L. Mason, Al. Wohlmann, Arthur Fields, Sammy Levy, Jeif. llranen, Barl Carroll, Fred Fischer. Seymour Brown, Rosamond Johnson and Solly Cohen. Our society reporter was unable to De present, so we can't begin to describe tbe dainty dresses of tue ladles, but we know this much about ft, never was there a prettier, sweeter, daintier bevy of beauties .seen In Terrace Garden. Maurice Levi's Orchestra p.! twenty men played excellent dance mnslc, waa. niore than liberal with, encores, and everyone would be dancing yet If It wasn't for the early closing law. Many telegrams were received Iront the boys wbo were kept away by business sngage- atnts. Tbe treasury of the "U. S. A." will ue fattened by a goodly amount, and as that was one of the reasons for promoting tbe affair, every- body's satisfied. Is response to a letter from the treasurer of the "U. S. A.," soliciting an "ad." for the souvenir Journal, was n cordial letter, enclosing a check for $30 as a donation to the organization from tho Victor Talking Machine Co. Tbe "boys" surely appreciate It Thanks to the Indefatigable efforts of "Melody Lano" Jack Edwards, our Journal was turned out on time, and wns a nifty Job. It contains photos and signatures of most of the members, and there are a few left Anyone desiring a copy can have same.by enclosing four cents in stamps to "M. L." Jack -Edwards, care of Tbe Clipfeu. "J. S." wants to know wbo wrote Weber's Last Waltz. Weber, of- course, and tbe on« o'clock train leave* sixty minutes past twelve.

He bad Just learned bis "Tulip and Rose'' song had sold somewhere near a million copies, and Is Ftlll bitting on every cylinder. Jack ban a music firm all bis own, and writes with Percy Wenrlch, Who writes for Feast who makes the hits for Fercy and Jock. Rather an Ideal arivngement, eh, what? "Site's In Ao>in"» 1b Tommy Gray's comedy show Mt .and Tommy certainly has tbe good wishes of every "song man." Twould certainly be rubbing It In If some thoughtless writer would use Tommy'* title for a comic song. .
