known "Fairy Tales," intermezzo, and an Indian
love serenade entitled "Be the Sunlight of My
Heart."
Every now and then the Englishmen send
their American cousins a new song, which quick-
ly finds favor here, such as "If I Had a Girl as
Nice as You." Always on the alert for good
things, Stern & Co. immediately negotiated with
Francis Day & Hunter, London, for the Amer-
ican rights, and the song is now safely in the
Stern catalogue, and booked for early publica-
tion.

"IN DEAR OLD GEORGIA" A SURE HIT.
Jos. Hortez, who is the fixed feature singing
act with Dumont's Minstrels, in Philadelphia, is
using "In Dear Old Georgia," the ballad hit of
the season.
Allan May, singer of illustrated songs at the
Standard, Philadelphia, has included "Bright
Eyes, Goodbye," and "In Dear Old Georgia" to
his already large repertoire.
Claude Thardo, Brooklyn's side wheeler, with
Spooner's Stock Company, is featuring "Birds of

SOL BLOOM'S SELECTIONS.
Sol Bloom's list of ballads for the present sea-
son is very fine, comprising these four tremen-
dous numbers, " 'Neath the Spreading Chestnut
Tree," "There's a Clock Upon the Mantel Strik-
ing One, Two, Three," "A Rose That Bloomed
in Dixie," and the reigning hit, "Good-bye,
Dixie, Dear." On the high class order "Roses at
Twilight," "Kisses" and "Carissima" are the
newest numbers with "There's Nobody Just Like
You," which is standard. Two very good coon
songs are "I Wants a Man to Love Me All the
Time" and "The Mormon Coon." In the comedy
line "Cleopatra Slattery" and "Get Happy" are
particularly fine. Dainty songs are "I'm Looking
for a Sweetheart," "Come Back" and "All for
You." In the instrumental line Mr. Bloom is
well represented with Mr. William H. Penn's
composition, "The Matador," which was played
by Sousa at the Hippodrome Sunday night week.
Collins and Harlan, among America's foremost
phonograph singers, have just placed on talking
machine records "Keep a Little Cosy Corner in
Your Heart for Me," "My Yankee Irish Girl,"
"Starlight" and "In Timbuctoo.*'
