FROM "OVER THE WATER."
The new Witmark building on Shaftesbury
avenue, London, will be open about the first
of August. The English quarters of the
Witmarks will become in a very short time
the place where all American professionals
Will meet. It will be a place to have their
mail addressed—in fact, it will become very
similar to what the oak room is in New
York, and that is where one is sure of find-
ing a friend.
Madge Lessing, according to cable reports,
opened successfully at the Alhambra Music
Hall, in London, last Monday night. Her
big "hit" was with "Rosie, Posie," which is
one of the song hits of London.
Another clever American lady is Trixie Fri-
ganza, who has been playing a successful
engagement at the Tivoli. She is singing
"Honey Bee."
Clara Wieland, an old-time London fa-
vorite, is using the Witmark publications.
Her success has been made by "Mamie B."
James Norrie, the celebrated music hall
tenor, is using Johnson and Kelly's 'Tn Our
Home Sweet Home."
Arthur Collins, the manager of the Drury
Lane Theatre, is putting several of the Wit-
mark popular songs into his pantomime and
other productions. M. Witmark & Sons have
certainly arrived in London.
COOL AND ENJOYABLE AT PROCTOR'S.
Despite the extremely warm weather, and
the four roof gardens more or less in its
vicinity, Proctor's Fifth Avenue Theater has
been doing a remarkable good business. The
F. F. Proctor Big Stock Co. is divided into
three sections during the summer, one play-
ing in New York, one in Albany and one in
Montreal.
With these companies, and a
remarkable vaudeville company Mr. Proc-
tor has managed to make his Fifth Avenue
Theater a success during these hot weeks.
"Pink Dominoes" was successfully played
last week, and also "Our Bitterest Foe."
In the olio were Charlotte Dandridge, who
sang "My Blushin' Rosie," "My Charcoal
Charmer," and "Mamie;" Walter Hyde,
the violinist, William Calhoun, etc.
This week the Stock Co. is giving "Lend
Me Your Wife," and Jerome K. Jerome's
"Sunset."
Taken all around, no one will
regret a visit to this theater, which is always
cool and comfortable.
So much attention
and civility is received in Mr. Proctor's
houses that it is quite a joy to live.
mour" met with a big reception. Harry Nor-
man as "The Marquis Imari" was decidedly
good. A word may be said as to the chorus,
which was strong in beauty and voice, and
showed clever training, for which Herbert
Gresham deserves credit.
MISS EDITH KINGSLEY.
Quite one of the best turns at the Mad-
ison Square Roof Garden is that given by
WHERE CCEAN"BREEZES BLOW.
The Manhattan Beach Theater has opened
for the summer season. It has its usually
strong company, and promises to lie as popu-
lar as ever. "The Circus Girl," which set
the ball rolling, played for two successful
weeks. Last Friday "The Geisha" was put
on, and has since been delighting large au-
diences. July 15th "A Runaway Girl" goes
on. July 22nd George W. Lederer's London
Company in "The Casino Girl." This will
be followed by "The Mikado" and "Pina-
fore," and then Jefferson De Angelis and
Company in "A Royal Rogue."
Playing
in "The Geisha" we have our old friends

FRANCIS,
Leah Russell is at' Pastor's Theatre this
week doing a clever act. Her chief song is
Harry Yon Tilzer's latest, "Down Where
the Cotton Blossoms Grow." She closes her
act with a clever monologue.
Master DaVis, of Davis and Manning, has
been singing with much success the pathetic
ballad, "Mamma No. 2." This song is dainty
in its music and possesses none of that maud-
lin sentiment that is characteristic of this
style of song.

ACCORDED AN OVATION.
The following is a copy of a letter re-
ceived from J. A. Libbey, of Shapiro, Bern-
stein & Von Tilzer.
Boston Music Hall, July 2, 1901.
My dear Friends:—In all my professional
career I have never met with such instanta-
neous and genuine success with a song as
with Horwitz and Bowers' latest composi-
tion, "Sorrow." I was accorded a tremen-
dous ovation at the Music Hall here, and
1 can literally say, it has been taken up by
Boston overnight, as your orders will doubt-
less show. All good wishes.
Yours never Sorrow-fully,
James Aldrich Libbey.
CARROLL FLEMING"AT THE HELM.
Mr. Carroll Fleming, who is the composer
of several well-known songs, newspaper man
and theatrical manager, has assumed the ed-
itorship of our clever contemporary, The
White Rat. A change is already apparent in
this paper. Its policy is much broader and
it seems more likely to occupy a strong posi-
tion in the vaudeville world. We congrat-
ulate Mr. Fleming on this change, and hope
he will meet with the same success which
has always attended his past ventures.
THE "HOUSE OF HITS."
Harry Davis and Sidney Carleton have
written a new song which has recently been
published by Jos. W. Stern & Co. It is en-
titled "The Lamb that Strayed from the
Fold." It is the story of a minister's son
who goes wrong and finally does the prod-
igal # son act, which is not very original and
has too much maudlin sentiment. The verses
are redeemed, however, by a very pretty mel-
ody. Lottie Gilson has sung this song with
some success, and Bennett and Rich have
used it in an illustrated song act.
"The Funny Lady," Louie Dacre, has writ-
ten and composed a comic song much on
the English style, entitled, "Oh f Oh! Oh!
Oh!" She also sings it.
A charming waltz song is "Rosabelle."
Max S. Witt is responsible for the music,
and has really surpassed himself. The words
by "Margaret" are simple and sweet, and
quite in keeping with the beauty of the mel-
ody.
A rattling good march song is "Hurrah
Boys," by Joseph Lacalle, composer of the
famous "Peace Forever." This is a fine,
lively march and has been played with much
success by Shannon's 23d Regiment Band.
Will A. Heelan has written some words to
it, and Lottie Gilson is using the song to
many encores.
"Betsy Ross," by Warner Crosby, is a fair
march tune which, although possessing no
striking originality, is bright and catchy. It
is played nightly in Henry du Souchet's play
of that name, to which Mr. Crosby has writ-
ten the incidental music.
MASTER WILLIE HOWARD.
Master Willie Howard, assisted by Ben
Edwards, a brother of the well-known Gus,
has been singing around the parks lately.
He is featuring "Sweet Sixteen" and also a
new waltz song entitled "Just a. Dear Girlie,"
and has met with much success in this new
venture. During the winter he was gener-
ally to be found at some Sunday concert,
and he always received much applause, which
he genuinely deserved. This youngster will
doubtless be heard from in the future. He
is wise in singing the Witmark publications.
