THE MU3IC TRADE

fakir on the boardwalk at Atlantic City four or
five years ago. The remark is not in the testi-
mony, but it only shows what a lively imagina-
tion is capable of under stress of undue excite-
ment.
Within the past week a publisher received a
request for the song, "What's the Use of Worry-
ing." Not being his print, he deemed a mistake
had been made, so he supplied another from his
own catalogue, and which he thought was really
that meant, namely, "What's the Use of Work-
ing?" Possibly the similarity of title may have
been misleading, if not confusing, but as to the
practical sentiment expressed by the respective
names there may be a distinction and a differ-
ence, though the cynical philosopher says not.
John Slavin opened in Chicago recently in
"The Pink Hussars," a new musical production
put on by Fred Whitney. The book and lyrics
are by Campbell and Skinner, respectively, and
the music is the joint work of Alfred Aarons and
Julian Edwards. The song numbers taking the
house were: "A Little Girl Like Me," "Military
Willie," "Daisy, the Girl from Illinois," "She's
All My Own (Mary Ann)," "Sweet Tokay."
The trade will be pleased to hear of the rapid
convalescence of G. Clifford Noble, treasurer of
Hinds, Noble & Eldredgc, publishers, New York,
and widely known as "headquarters for college
music." Mr. Noble is a tireless worker, and the
sequence compelling a surgical operation for re-
lief, and which has been eminently successful. He
returned to his business post last week.
An expert in such matters declares, with every
sign of conviction, that a number of writers who
have enjoyed considerable vogue and success
in the past, but are "falling down" hard now,
should take a rest. In explanation, he urges
paucity if not total exhaustion of musical ideas,
and rather than sacrifice even the remnants of
their former "rep.," the composers in this class
might indulge in a recuperative period to the ad-
vantage of the publishers and the public.

REVIEW
A NEW REMICK BALLAD.
The Empire City Quartette, composed of
Messrs. Cooper, Tally, Cooper and Mayo, at the
Victoria, New York, introduced for the first time
"When the Mocking Birds are Singing in the Wild
Wood," a new ballad of merit which is destined
to become one of the substantial successes of the
season.
Edward J. Henshaw, comedian with "She
Dared to Do Right" Company, is singing "My
Irish Molly O," with considerable success.
James O'Dea, who won distinction as writer of
the lyric for the famous "Hiawatha," has again
demonstrated his ability as a writer competent
to set words to "tricky" melodies, having just
completed two verses and a refrain for the new-
est composition by Neil Moret, called "Silver
Heels," which is as original in melody as the
title is odd.
The following are the latest from the Remick
press: Vocal—"Texas Dan" (in "Lifting the
Lid"), by Jean Schwartz; "When the Roses Fade
Away," by Dan J. Sullivan; "Fare Thee Well,
Annabelle," by H. B. Black.
SOL BLOOM'S SONGS.
Pearl Irving, who possesses a very phenomenal
voice and very pleasing personality, and uses
both of these female attributes in the rendition
of the song, "Cleopatra Slattery," written by S.
Clarence Engel and published by Sol Bloom.
Sadie McDonald, who is an exceedingly charm-
ing artiste, is consistently rendering in vaude-
ville the songs of Sol Bloom, among them "I'm
Looking for a Sweetheart." Miss McDonald has
played all the best houses on the Keith, Proctor
and other big circuits, and is a favorite with all
vaudeville patrons.
THE SEASON FOR COLLEGE BOOKS.
Now, when the college season is in full swing,
the active season for the sale of college song
books begin once again, and accordingly Hinds &
Nobles' music department, under the management
of Albert E. Wier, is doing a flourishing business.
The demands for'their special leaders, "The Most
Popular College Songs" and "Songs of All the
Colleges," are particularly gratifying, while not
only the college glee clubs, but also the general
trade are ordering "New Songs for Male Quar-
tettes" and "New Songs for College Glee Chibs"
in large quantities. The special books of col-
lege songs published by the house for different
colleges, such as "The University of Pennsyl-
vania," "University of Michigan," etc., are also
in good demand, and from every standpoint this
season's business in the music department bids
fair to be more than double that of any previous
year. Mr. Wier goes South next week.
The Delbert Music Co. is a new company organ-
ized in Terra Haute, Ind., for the purpose of pub-
lishing music. Offices will be maintained in New
York at the Daly Theater Building and in Chi-
cago at 84 Adams street. Two of their songs al-
ready finding favor are "Maggie Flynn" and "In
Dreamland Bower."
RAYMOND HITCHCOCK COMPLIMENTED
Raymond Hitchcock was recently the recipient
of some verses which were sent him by one of
the Yale students, which are to be used to the
melody of "And the World Goes On," on field day.
Mr. Hitchcock recently appeared at New Haven,
where the star and song were given an ovation.
The compliment, great as it was, is no more than
the authors, Lenox and Sutton, deserve, for they
are both hard and conscientious writers.
When Maude Adams comes to town with her
new play, "Peter Pan," Jos. W. Stern & Co. say
New Yorkers will be treated to some of the most
weirdly beautiful music ever written. Lovers of
beautiful music will have their artistic sense
gratified this time, if never before.
Miss Grace Garner, with the "Society Belles,"
is meeting with tremendous success with the new
song by J. J. Walker and Max S. Witt entitled
"I Like Your Way."
"The Church Parade," from the "Catch of the
Season," continues to be in great demand for
dancing. Orchestra leaders claim that as a two-
step it excels all others on the market.
MAY IRWIN PRAISES "DON'T ARGIFY."
May Irwin, who is en tour with "Mrs. Black is
Back," writes from Seattle, Oregon, under date of
October 7, to John B. Lowitz, the originator of
the "Swifty" sketches in the New York Herald,
regarding his song, "Don't Argify," as follows:
"1 have been singing 'Don't Argify' ever since the
night. I wrote you, and the song was a tremendous
bit from that night, as I knew it would be as soon
as I heard it played." Willis Woodward & Co.,
the publishers, have the song now in press.
The newest issues from this firm include the
following: Vocal—"Reply," by Jos. J. Geisler.
featured in Lew Dockstader's Minstrels; "I Want
to be a Sailor" (in "The Geezer of Geek"), by
Walter J. Crawford: "A Flower from Home,
Sweet Home," by Johaun C. Schmid and pro
gramnied by Geo. Primrose's Big Minstrels. In-
strumental—"By the Watermill," by Muriel Nel-
son.
