THE 7VT\JSIC TRKDE
WILL STAR IN MUSICAL FARCE.
FLO IRWIN'S NEW SONG.
May Irwin and her sister Flo are almost
the sole representatives of a type of Amer-
ican comedienne which is as rare as it is
delightful. Vigorous, wholesome, and fairly
scintillant with magnetism, these two women
have won a warm place in the hearts of thou-
sands of theatre-goers simply by a genuine
humor and absence of all affectation. They
are not merely mouthpieces for playwrights,
but have clever ideas of their own which they
are independent enough to put before the
public in their own way. Flo Irwin has re-
cently written a song with Walter Hawley,
which M. Witmark & Sons have now in
press. It has every element which goes to
make a popular song. It is called "She's
My Girl All the Year Round." The refrain
is catchy with that haunting simplicity which,
once heard, cannot be forgotten; the words
of the lyric are natural, and express just
what any good fellow thinks about his best
girl; in fact, it is just the sort of song which
one would expect Miss Irwin to write, as it
is full of her own bright personality.
Charles Grapewin, the well-known come-
dian, is to star next season under the man-
agement of Samuel L. Tuck in a musical
farce called "Mr. Pipp." Mr. Grapewin has
for some time been doing the nucleus of this
comedy in a bright one-act sketch, in the
playing of which this clever star employed
the always successful methods of pathetic
CHAS. GRAPEWIN.
comedy, which keep the audience between
smiles and tears. His original and unusual
methods have won for Mr. Grapewin a
unique place in the theatrical world. While
he is thoroughly at home in the broadest sort
of farce fun-making, he can stir the heart
with the touch of real pathos in a manner
which is truly inimitable. This new produc-
tion, which promises to be one of the most
important of the coming tieatrical season,
will have its entire musical setting furnished
by M. Witmark & Sons.

A late musical composition which is likely
to be most popular is entitled "The National
Humorists' March and Two-step," and is the
composition of Henry Edward Warner, of
Baltimore. Mr. Warner is well known both
as a musician and a humorist, and has dedi-
cated this new piece of music to the humor-
ists of the American press. The march is
well written, full of melody, and has a dash
and swing, which is a guarantee for its pop-
ularity, and establishes Mr. Warner's ability
as a composer.
LUDERS GETTING INSPIRATION.
Gustav Luders is evidently gaining fresh in-
spiration for another "Message of the Vio-
let" in the green and music-haunted woods
of Germany,. In a recent letter he says: "I
am having a lovely time in my dear old home,
all day in the forest, the beautiful, incom-
parable German forest, where the first dainty
flowers of spring commence to bloom, while
some of the grounds are still covered with
snow. It is lovely here."
If Herr Luders indulges often in poetic
flights like this, the next we shall hear will
be that he is writing his own lyrics. He is
probably looking at the scenery through the
rose-tinted glasses of his recent success in
the "Prince of Pilsen," and with the enthu-
siasm of a poet-musician. In a few weeks
the composer will return to America and will
probably convert the notes of the woodland
birds into less poetic but more satisfying notes
of good American currency.
La Calle's patriotic march, "Hail to the
Nation!" was recently programed by Gus-
tave Walter, conductor of the excellent Park
Theatre Orchestra in Brooklyn, N. Y.

Business with the publishers of popular
music is keeping right up to the mark. Not
a complaint is heard in any quarter of dull-
ness ; the "big hits" scored, quite a few now
at the flood tide of prosperity, have diffused
an air of genial content hard to disturb.
Those issuing a better class, or serious mu-
sic, confess to a period of quietness usual at
this time of the year, and which is expected
to continue until September.

Notwithstanding the fact that spring is

THE
SHARPS AND FLATS.
A novelty in vaudeville is the rendition of
a march song through five megaphones, by
Jos. Maxwell and his inimitable quartet.
The song rendered in this fashion is "The
Spirit of '76."
The newest number introduced in Quin-
lan & Wall's Minstrel Co. is Heelan & Helf's
latest comic coon effort entitled "What a
Nasty Disposition For A Lady Like You."
Other artists are making a great hit with
the same song.
The dainty vocalist, Winona Winter, is
finding in Heelan & Helf's waltz song,
"Since Sally Left Our Alley" a sure winner.
The artistic way in which this artiste renders
this song, finds immense favor everywhere.
The newest song in the repertoire of the
clever entertainer, Lydia Yeaman Titus, is
Heelan and Helf's popular waltz number,
"Since Sally Left Our Alley." It seems to
please everywhere.
Senator Frank Bell is singing the whimsi-
cal song "All Bound Round With a Woolen
String," and invariably makes a big hit with
it.

act, is using Billee Taylor's novelty "Creepy

ing with great effect "Good Night, Beloved,
Good Night."

serenade success in "Garret O'Magh" en-
titled "Come, My Sweet Queen."

success with the popular song "When the
Springtime Comes Around."

vulsing his audiences with the funny song,

finds no number more heartily appreciated

"Ev'ry Man Is A Volunteer," and in res-
ponse to the invariable encores this dainty
vocalist always introduces "Since Sally Left
Our Alley," by the same writers.
Ely Dawson, the rising young coon delin-
eator, is pleasing every audience with Heel-

ty Disposition For A Lady Like You." His

ing such a tremendous hit everywhere, "If
You Can't Be A Bell Cow Fall In Behind."

by Robb & Bratton.

Mine," by Maurice Jacobs and Harry I. Rob-
inson.

which are their own compositions,.

William Le Roy, the male Melba, is add-
ing to his laurels by the choice selection of
his repertoire, which includes Max Witt's
"Perchance," Horwitz and Bowers' "No One
But You" and George Rosey's "Maybe."

der the management of James Hyde in a

Max Hirschfeld is engaged on the compo-
sition of a comic opera to be produced in the
fall.
Frederick Ranken is busy on a new opera
that Jos. W. Stern & Co. will publish dur-
ing the summer.
"Sweet Nellie Wood," which is interpo-
lated in "Nancy Brown" at the Bijou, New
York, with triple encore effects and published
by the American Advance Music Co., came
off the press this week. It is commanding a
big sale.
Harry B. Smith has written a book, "The
Gibson Girl," that lives up to every tradi-
tion that has given him fame; and Gustave
Kerker has composed some musical num-
bers that will soon be whistled everywhere.
One of these, "The Model of the Man," is
looked forward to with delight; a charming
serenade will soon find a response among its
auditors, and a fine quartet will be among
the musical innovations to be expected..
AN UNIQUE PERFORMANCE.
At the home performance of the Lambs'
Club Gambol which was given prior to its
public presentation at Daly's Theatre, the
feature was a real American minstrel show
performed entirely by Englishmen. The odd-
ity of the affair gave unlimited opportunity
for both prepared and impromptu fun-mak-
ing.
The Americans present "rubbed it in"
rather hard to their British confreres. Law-
rence D'Orsay, the dignified, was made to
sing "I'm a Jonah Man." Other typical
American songs, such as "Along the Mobile
Shore," etc., were sung, and, needless to say,
were enhanced with the most incongruous
English accent. The most amusing thing
was when the stalwart Englishmen arose and
joined with a hearty good will, in singing the
new national song "My Own United States,"
which, by the way, was Briticized into "Me
Own Unoited States."
Wilton Lackaye and George Spink com-
posed a song for the occasion in which one
of the minstrels was made to give a graphic
description of the Buffaloes he saw in New
Jersey, and of the beautiful farms in the dear
old Rocky Mountains. The ultra-English
side of the affair was emphasized, even so
far as to have printed on the program "Mu-
sic furnished by M. Witmark & Sons, Lon-
don," instead of the main house in New York.
Altogether, this affair was the most ori-
ginal and enjoyable gambol that the Lambs
have enjoyed for some time.
