above. "Who Do You Love?" "There's Always
Something Wrong," "My Susanna," "Once Upon
a Time" and several- other numbers were re-

took from two to four encores, but it remained
for "On the Gay Luneta," "Sugar Babe" and "I
Can't Think of Anything in the Wide, Wide
World But You" to "raise" the house. Nothing
too good could be said of these numbers, and it
is the writer's opinion that in these three songs
Cole and Johnson have some of the greatest
successes they have ever written. Jos. W. Stern
& Co. are the lucky publishers.

Gus. Edwards' "Rube Kids," the latest vaude-
ville sketch from the prolific pen of this versa-
tile artist, will have its premiere in Elizabeth,
N. J., next week. The piece de resistance is a
seesaw scene, with milk cans as the pivots, and
the "kids" singing the happy song, "See-Saw."
Gus. Edwards' "Statuettes" duet is also another
new act—a pretty conceit musically and thea-
trically—will be brought out in Milwaukee, Wis.
