Once a year Chas. K. Harris writes and
issues one of his own waltzes. He has now
in press his very latest waltz entitled "Pearl
of Japan," which will soon be on the mar-
ket, and will prove a worthy successor to
his beautiful "Isle of Dreams" and "Heart
to Heart" waltzes. His "Always in the
Way" is reported as having sold up to 150,-
000 copies, and that the 500,000 mark will
be reached before the season is ended.

success.

Theatergoers from coast to coast, have
often enjoyed, and speak in high praise of
Genero and Bailey's unique and clever
specialty, "A Cigarette Case," a series of
laughable incidents and situations, inter-
spersed with carefully selected songs, and
ieading to the most original dancing seen
in many seasons. A strong factor in the
well deserved success of this act is Miss
Bailey's characteristic rendition of coon
songs, and in "Under the Mistletoe Bough "
this clever vocalist has secured a song in
every way suited to her inimitable style.
One of the most pleasing of recent musical
publications is a collection of six easy pieces
(without chords) entitled "In the Treble
Cleff," which has just been brought out by
M. Witmark & Sons. These dainty numbers,
written for children in the first grade by Har-
vey Worthington Loomis, cover the entire
range of a beginner's ability and give the
young pupil a pleasure which no technical
exercises could afford. They are published
in sets of two; "In the Nest" and "The Shep-
herd's Pipe," "At the Opera" and "Out of
Tune," "The Queen of Hearts" and "Hop
Scotch." When a pupil has learned these he
has acquired a charming little repertoire of
pieces and at the same time has achieved a
facility of execution which he would possibly
not have gotten otherwise in so short a time.
A verdict for $2,000 was rendered on in-
