A SUCCESSFUL WOMAN PUBLISHER.
On Thursday of last week the "Pied Piper,"
an extravaganza by Austin Strong, lyrics by R.
H. Burnside, music by Manuel Klein, was pro-
duced at the Majestic Theater, New York. The
newspapers seem somewhat divided in their
opinions as to its merits, but all agree on the
magnificence of the production. It will be fully
reviewed by the "Man on the Street" in our next
issue. The music is published by M. Witmark
& Sons.

Chicago, 111., Dec. 8, 1908.
Although the women publishers of America can
be counted on the fingers of one hand, Chicago
can boast of two members of the fair sex who
not only write both the words and music of their
songs, but also personally attend to the distri-
bution of the product of their genius.
The subject of this sketch, Mrs. B. Dolores
Stonecipher, is, comparatively speaking, a new-
comer in the field, but judging by the results
HARRY LAUDER'S SONG GALLICIZED.
Singing Harry Lauder's famous songs, "I Love
a Lassie" and "Stop Your Tickling, Jock" (T. B.
Harms & Francis, Day & Hunter), in the French
language is the novel idea of M. Jules Charmettes,
Palace Theater, London. "The translation of
these songs I have made myself, but the music is
exactly the same," said M. Charmettes to the
London Daily Mirror. The French chorus of
"Stop Your Tickling, Jock," runs as follow:
Veux-tu bien m'laisser tranquille
Tu m'chatouille, ga m'emoustille
Je t'en prie, pas de fagons
J'aime tes yeux folichons
Tais-toi done, espece d'andouille
Tu m'chatouilles c,a m'emoustille
Je n'aime pas tes rigolades,
Rigo-rigo-rigolades,
Stop your tickling, Jock.
Both the songs have been great successes in
France.

Thomas F. Deuther, Chicago. Many thanks for
your interesting letter which was mislaid, and
only this week came to light. No doubt our
"Man on the Street" will answer it in his col-
umn when he recovers from the shock of reading
of his numerous iniquities. For some time he
was seriously considering giving himself up to
the police on the strength of your indictment.
E. P. Werner. This department has its own
editor, and its own policies being practically a
separate and distinct raper, within a paper.
Therefore there cannot l:e a question of con-
tradiction save where two opposite views are ex-
pressed in this individual section. Many thanks
for your kind wishes.
J. O'D. MoCabe. The lines were written by
James Orr, of Ballycarry, County Antrim, to the
tune of "Vive La," about the year 1798, just a
century ago. Therefore it is obvious that no
copyright exists. In its original form it was
entitled ' T h e Irishman" and if memory serves
aright was republished some years ago in th?
"Weekly Sun" (London, Eng.) when this paper
was under the editorship of T. P. O'Connor. The
writer regrets that he is unable to recall the
text, but will make enquiries regarding it.

On Monday night "The Gay Life" had its first
performance at the Auditorium Theater, Balti-
more.
The play is Roy McCardell's musical
comedy version of his own chorus girl sketches
which have been running in the World for sev-
eral years. William A. Page is responsible for
the production and George Lask is said to have
done effective work in staging the piece. So en-
couraged were Messrs. Page and McCardell over
the results of the premiere that they are hopeful
of presenting the play on Broadway in a few
weeks' time under the title of "The Coast of
Bohemia."
The Music Students Library, published by the
Oliver Ditson Co., of Boston, is in great demand.
