THE
7VTVSIC TRKDE
IN THE PARKS.
A RECORD BREAKER.
Clyde Fitch a season ago established a
record in New York as being the only play-
wright who ever had four plays running at
one time. And now in the music publishing
world a similar record has been made and
that is for one firm to have four successful
musical comedies on Rroadway at one time.
The firm is M. Witmark & Sons. In these
four Broadway presentations will be found
the collaborated work of the best authors
and composers that have successfully catered
to the musical taste in previous efforts.
The first of these is "Dolly Yardcn," the
comic opera of Stanislaus Stange and Julian
Edwards. "Dolly Varden" has been at the
Herald Square Theatre for almost five
months and is still enjoying a most enviable
tribute from its clientage.
The second event is a later effort by the
writers of "The Burgomaster." Frank Pix-
ley and Gustav Luders' "King Dodo" is now
holding New York in an ecstacy at Daly's
Theatre.
"The Chinese Honeymoon'" now playing
to packed houses at the Casino, comes to us
with the English mark of merit in every bar
of music and line of the libretto, and is the
work of Dance and Talbot. To realize the
true worth of the performance one has but
ables her to please many by singing in the to ask a person who has witnessed it, to get

In conclusion, reference must be made to
the emphatic success achieved on the Pacific
Coast by the Weber & Fields' forces in Smith
and Stromberg's "Fiddle-Dee-Dee," as well
as the Weber & Fields' repertoire presenta-
tions in Detroit.

is without a doubt the funniest coon song

ture make it the feature of her repertoire.
HOW SONGS ARE ILLUSTRATED
The men who make the pictures with which
songs are illustrated nowadays in the vaude-
ville theatres are the arch fakirs among stage
craftsmen. They can teach a few things to
the men who imagine they are great when
they produce a blizzard on July 4th, or make
an audience believe that an old carpet is a
storm-beaten sea.
All the song illustrator needs in his camera
is a few dozen plates and he can make slides
for any song ever written, and do it in a way
that will make audiences think that he was
