had the advantage of an education ahroad
at great musical centers, he shows in his com-
position a thorough understanding and mas-
tery of his art. He is the composer of many
successes, and in conjunction with Joseph
Herbert has recently written two brilliant
musical novelties, entitled "The Land of
Delft" and "The Magnetic Girl."
The Witmarks are to be congratulated
upon having acquired the rights to all of
Mr. Weld's compositions and it goes with-
out saying that he is fortunate in having
signed a contract to that effect with a house
of such high standing and progressive policy.
at a loss for extra verses to his entrance song,
"Please Don't Move," so cordial is his recep-
tion on his entrance.
A very pretty vocal number from the pens
of Curtis Dunham and Giacoma Minkowski
will shortly appear among the publications
of Jos. W. Stern & Co. This will be entitled
"Dollv's Bedtime."
ITEMS FROM "THE HOUSE OF HITS."
A new comic opera with the scenes laid
in Corea is about to receive its finishing
touches at the hands of the author, J. Cheever
Goodwin ; it is entitled "Kosiki."
B. Janlus, musical director at the Louvre,
San Francisco, frequently programs the fol-
lowing numbers: Ludwig Englander's "Sal-
ly in our Alley"' and S. R. Henry's charac-
teristic number "The Colored Ragamuffins."
No program is complete in that locality un-
less "Under the Bamboo Tree" is incorpor-
ated therein.
George Rosey is writing the music to a
lyric of Welles Hawks; this is entitled "En-
tre Nous" and will shortly be interpolated
in an important production.
Cole and Johnson Bros, are en route from
the Pacific Coast, where they were accorded
a most cordial welcome. Their repertoire
includes "Under the Bamboo Tree," "Mandy,
Won't You Let Me Be Your Beau?" "No-
body's Looking but the Owl and the Moon"
and "My Sweet Saloma."
The orchestra under the direction of Ed-
ward B. Lada at the Alcazar Theatre, San
Francisco, has a reputation to uphold in the
selections of their programs and these at
all times receive intelligent interpretations.
The following numbers are favorite ones:
"Sly Musette," "Mocking Bird" selections,
"Under the Bamboo Tree," "Nobody's Look-
ing but the Owl and the Moon" and "Sally in
our Alley."
Lottie Gilson recently scored a spontane-
ous success with a revival of Cole and John-
son Bros. "Louisiana Lize" and is also mak-
ing a great success with "Under the Bam-
boo Tree."
James T. Powers, the star of the "Jewel
of Asia" production, will soon be heard at
Daly's Theatre, New York. He is frequently
HARRIS HAS A NARROW ESCAPE.
We congratulate Chas. K. Harris on his
escape in the bad train wreck last week. He
was caught in the accident on the Lake Shore
Limited, but beyond a few bruises and a
shaking up, came out all right.
HOWLEY, HAVILAND & DRESSER.
Paul Dresser has arrived home from Chi-
cago after a stay of over three months.
While in Chicago he suffered a severe at-
tack of pneumonia, which reduced him about
fifty pounds avoirdupois.
His new song, "The Voice of the Hudson,"
is a gem and away from anything he has ever
written. Singers of ballads shouldn't over-
l )ok this number.
At the "Friends of Ireland" dinner at
Shanley's Roman Court, March 10, William
Redmond was obliged to sing " 'Way Down
in Old Indiana" four times. It was easily the
song hit of the evening.
Lydia Barry, of Felix and Barry, is sing-
ing "The Same Old Crowd" and James
Thornton's late sentimental ballad, "There Is
Always a Mother Waiting for You at Home,
Sweet Home," at Hyde & Behman's this
week. Her renditions of these songs cannot
be surpassed.
These songs are published by Howley,
Haviland & Dresser.
PEERLESS SUCCESSES.
"Dance Grotesque," a beautiful instrument-
al number just published by the Peerless
Publishing Co., immediately made a success
and is a. number highly sought after by piano
teachers, both for its sweet melody and in-
teresting characteristics. A. H. Mangold,
the composer of "Dance Grotesque," is the
writer of the well-known march "Chimes of
Freedom," also published by the Peerless
Publishing Co.
"My Bessie's Wedding Day" was a sensa-
tional hit when sung by J. Aldrich Libbey at
Grand Central Palace and Grand Opera
House last Sunday night and at Hurtig &
Seamon's all of this week to overflowing
houses.
