Chas. Klein, the music by Reginald De
Koven, with lyrics by Chas. Emerson
Cook. One of the principal musical num-
bers looked forward to is "The Garden of
Dreams."
Florence Ziegfeld, Jr., has spared no
amount of effort or expense in the scenery,
appointments and costumes of the produc-
tion, and has surrounded his star with ex-
cellent support backed by a well schooled
chorus of a hundred singers. The Ziegfeld
Opera Co. will visit Washington (the home
of the composer) and Philadelphia, before
reaching New York, at which place they
open the new Lyric Theatre for its metro-
politan run.

the other good numbers in the Peerless
catalogue, is a song especially praised by
Miss Katharine Trayer, entitled, "Ma

LILLIAN RUSSELL'S NEW SONGS.
The two songs sung by Lillian Russell
in the new Weber & Fields production
"Whoop-Dee-Doo," are from the pens of
Cole & Johnson Bros., entitled: "The Maid
of Timbuctoo," and "The Flowers of Dixie-
land," with lyric of the latter by Edgar
Smith.
The songs are backed by a simple and
pretty chorus of fourteen and were "put

on" by that master of stagecraft, Ben Teal.
Miss Russell's voice enhances/the melody.
The refrain of "The Maid of Timbuctoo,"
will soon be heard everywhere. The verses
are catchy:
"The Maid of Timbuctoo,
She knew just what to do
When suitors came to woo
Her for her hand;
She shyly dropped her eyes,
And heaved a sea of sighs,
Yet she was very wise,
You understand!"

George Stanley Harvey, No. 215 Barris-
ter's Hall, this city, trustee in bankruptcy
for Louis H. Ross, music publisher, grant-
ed leave to-day to sell to the highest bid-
der, Mr. Ross's right, title and interest in
the plates for printing music and copy-
rights formerly in his possession. There
are several hundred copyrights and a large
number of plates included in the lot to be
sold. They may or may not be disposed
of at auction; at all events no date has yet
been set for the sale.
"It is to laugh!"—is the trite saying long
ago made universally popular by that
quaintly clever—or shall we say cleverly
quaint?—Dutch comedian, Louis Mann.
The words were put in his mouth by the
authors of "The Girl From Paris," and
their apt application to the current form
of stage entertainment cannot be question-
ed at this time. The Proctor shows, in par-
ticular, seem nowadays to carry out the
dictum of other years, for in all the Proc-
tor programmes, whether in New York, Al-
bany, Newark or Montreal, the spirit of
laughter is omnipresent. It is a good sign,
too, that the Proctor audiences prefer to
laugh, rather than cry. The average thea-
tergoer likes to leave his worries behind
him when he passes through theater por-
tals, and the Proctor doors seldom close
upon sober faces.

"Bidelia," an interpolation in the "Jersey
Lily," is placed in the "big hit" class by a
predictor of experience, and who, by the
way, is not the publisher. It is another
one for Shapiro, Bernstein & Co.

"Jean," Harry T. Burleigh's ballad, pub-
lished by the William Maxwell Music Co.,
is put down as a coming successful seller,
the orders being surprisingly large. A new
sacred song, by Harry Rowe Shelley, the
title of which is withheld for the present,
will also soon appear with the same pub-
lisher's imprint. Then a Christmas song,
which is spoken of as the best of Shelley's
work, will come along in due season.
"Kitty Dooley/' a new waltz song from
the press of Howley, Haviland & Dresser,
is said to "look like the goods." Other
winners bearing the same hall mark are
"Dear Old Girl," "When We Were Two
Little Boys," "Senegambian Ben," "My
Zulu Lu," and Paul Dresser's new march
song, "Lincoln, Grant and Lee."

"The Last Farewell," Adelina Patti's
successor to "Home, Sweet Home," writ-
ten especially for her by Chas. K. Harris,
is reported as enjoying that condition of
sales most gratifying to the publisher's
heart. The demand is said to be general
and its popularity is already a surety in the
estimation of expert judges.
