Successful Songs and Their
Publishers—
Melodies That Look Good and Are Sellers.
"Those Songs My Mother Used to Sing," the
Witmarks' great "mother" song, is being fea-
tured in vaudeville by Frank Manning.
Minnie Harrison has just closed the successful
engagement on the Keith circuit, having as her
opening song, "Somebody's Sweetheart I Want to
Be," that winning march song and not soldier
song. Miss Harrison begs to state that this song
has been the biggest hit she has ever sung.
One of the most talented artistes now before
the public is Gilberta, a pretty and gifted daugh-
ter of Al. Fostell. This little lady has a beautiful
voice and pleasing manner, and her services are
in such great demand in Greater New York that
she never leaves town at all. She is using sev-
eral of Sol Bloom's publications, including "I've
Such a Funny Feeling When I Look at You," by
William H. Penn; "Get Happy," Raymond A.
Browne, and "Come Back," by Raymond A.
Browne and Henry Clay Smith.
The blind vocalist, Harry C. Green, is achiev-
ing deserved success with the Witmark numbers,
"Star of My Life," "Hello, All Right, Good-bye,"
"Only a Message from Home, Sweet Home," and
"Good Night, Beloved, Good Night."
The "Orpheus Comedy Four," at Keith's Bos-
ton Theatre, introduced this week, for the first
time in that city, Monroe H. Rosenfeld's popular
ballad, "Let Me Write What I Never Dared to
Tell." In this ballad Mr. Rosenfeld has certainly
equaled his former great success, "With All Her
Faults I Love Her Still," both published by Jos.
W. Stern & Co.
Harry McDonald and Miss De Castro, at Phil-
lips' Lyceum, Brooklyn, are singing "Paddle
Your Own Canoe," and Miss Alice Warren is fea-
turing "Keep on the Sunny Side" and "Just a
Little Rocking Chair and You." Published by

Jerome H. Remick & Co.'s publications are in
great demand. Bertha A. Hollenbeck is using
with much success the new mocking bird song,

Last week M. Witmark & Sons were on the
eve of bringing out a new intermezzo by William
Loraine,-famous as the composer of "Peggy from
Paris," "The Filibuster" and "Salome," that re-
markable instrumental number, under the title of
"Pandora." Just as Mr. Loraine's latest composi-
tion was about to go to press, the Witmarks were
apprised of the fact that another firm of pub-
lishers in New York had already brought out an
instrumental number with the title of "Pandora."
