An American Grand Opera in One Act by
Stanislaus Stange and Julian Edwards Is a
Brilliant Piece of Work, Says the Man on
the Street.
Had Julian Edwards never composed another
note save the music of "The Patriot" he would
be regarded as a musician of brilliancy and at-
tainment. This one-act opera is the joint work
of Mr. Edwards and Stanislaus Stange, who will
be remembered as the author of "When Johnny
Comes Marching Home" and other operas.
"The Patriot" is founded on a so-called legend,
and goes back to a plot against George Washing-
ton while his army was encamped a t Valley
Forge. According to the story, Washington goes
to the house of one, Manheim, a Tory farmer,
and is detained by a storm. He stays over night.
Manheim, with others, plot to kill Washington,
but their scheme is overheard by Manheim's
daughter, Marion, a patriot. The conspirators
draw lots and it falls to Manheim to kill Wash-
ington.

tious and she had the audience whistling the
melody in short order.
Her biggest hit came when she sang "Is Any-
body Looking for a Widow?" This song is a
gem of comedy.
"His Lordship," which is the plaint of a girl
who has married a fat nobleman with "many
handles to his name," was spicy. In "Pride of
the Ballet," Miss Victoria makes up as a ballet
girl, and gives a clever burlesque of a music hall
dancer. Miss Victoria has done well to drop
from her repertoire her opening song, a Japanese
ditty. It was both pointless and out of place.
Jerome H. Remick, who publishes all of Miss
Victoria's new songs, recently gave a box party
in honor of the pretty little English comedienne,
which Included Miss Clarice Vance, Miss Blanke-
Belcher, Mrs. Harry Williams, and Mrs. Van Al-
styne. Among the mere men present were Fred

still leads the way in the production of 'popular'
numbers.
At the Covent Garden ball in London, Willie
Clarkson, the well-known costumer of the Strand,
was successful in gaining the first prize with a
dress described as "Love Me and the World is
Mine," a pretty compliment to Ernest Ball, the
composer of this popular song, which is pub-
lished by M. Witmark & Sons.
CHATJNCEY OLCOTT'S GREAT SUCCESS.
If reports from the Middle West be true, then
Chauncey Olcott, the well known Irish tenor,
has the very best play of his career in "Ragged
Robin," by Rida Johnson Young and Rita Ol-
cott, who in private life is Mrs. Chauncey Ol-
cott. There are five songs in the production, for
the most part written by different composers,
which shows a considerable amount of wisdom
AMERICAN "POPULARS" LEAD LONDON.
Says "Crescendo" in the London "Music Hall":
"As pantomime time is drawing near, every
author and composer is doing his best to 'place'
his song with as many pantomime managers,
producers and artistes as possible. A success
means a small fortune, and therefore one can
well imagine the anxiety to get ahead. As at
present there are nearly 150 known writers all
bombarding the managers with their 'great
songs' and 'sure successes,' one can picture the
unfortunate producer sitting in a room with
probably 1,000 songs around him. What a task
to sift them down to about twelve numbers,
which are all he probably requires.
"I have interviewed most of the leading mana-
gers of the London and proverbial theaters, and the
following songs have been quoted to me as their
big feature numbers: 'Oh! oh! Antonio' (Rem-
ick), 'Hang Out the Front Door Key' (Remick),
'Rainbow' (Remick), 'In the Land of the Kanga-
roo/ 'I'm Afraid to Come Home in the Dark'
(Remick), 'Are You the Little Girl I Met the
Other Evening?' [presumably 'Are You the Girl
I Met at Sherry's (Feist).—Ed. Music Section.]
" 'Crescendo' also mentions a number of English
songs which have caught the public fancy during
the year, which will be featured in the coming
pantomimes. It seems, however, that America

"AS WE LISTENED TO THE RUSTLE
OF THE LEAVES"
Last of Series Conducted by Leo Feist Won by
Church Bros., Oshkosh, Wis.
The third and last of a series of three window
dressing competitions inaugurated by Leo Feist,
the well known music publisher, closed this week
when the first cash prize was awarded to Church
Bros., of "The Fair," Oshkosh, Wis., for a display
of considerable merit and originality.
It will be remembered that in Mr. Feist's first
competition valuable prizes were offered for the
best arranged window featuring Miss Mabel Mc-
Kinley's famous intermezzo "Golden Rod." In
the second, "Old Faithful," Abe Holtzman's cele-
brated march, in which the beautiful St. Bernard
dog's head figured, was the window magnet used,
while the prizes awarded on Monday were for the
exploitation of the stirring fireman aontg by
Felix Feist and Joel P. Corin, entitled "The
Man Who Fights the Fire."
Of the many photos of store windows sent in,
a number showed considerable ingenuity. Unfor-
tunately, however, the photos themselves suf-
fered considerably, as being taken through glass,
they lacked the sharpness and detail which is
essential for newspaper reproduction.
The representatives of the leading trade papers
acted as the judges of the contest, and only
awarded the prizes after the most careful
scrutiny. Other prize winners were H. L. Schultz,
41 South Seventh street, Allentown, Pa., second;
F. Knell & Sons, Perry, Iowa, third; the Zenith
Music Co., Duluth, Minn., fourth, and the Stone
Piano Co., Fargo, N. D., fifth.
Mr. Feist deserves the thanks of the entire
music trade for the consistent encouragement
which he has given to those who appreciate the
true value of an artistic window display. Be-
sides spending valuable time, to say nothing of
thousands of dollars, he has lent every possible
aid to the retail dealer to show their goods in
the most attractive possible manner.
on Mr. Olcott's part, as for some years past he
has been composing his own material exclu-
sively, and to be truthful, he has of late shown
some signs of overwriting himself. The songs
which Mr. Olcott sings in "Ragged Robin" are
all published by M. Witmark & Sons, and in-
clude "A Laugh With a Tear in It," by Chauncey
Olcott and Manuel Klein; "Eyes That Come From
Ireland," by Richard Le Gallienne and Mr. Ol-
cott; "If You'll Remember Me," by George Graff.
A NEW SALOME.
