Chicago, 111., Feb. 26, 1910.
An unusual number of current musical com-
edies close their local engagements this week.
"The Follies of 1909," with Eva Tanguay, close
at the Auditorium to-night, leaving that play-
house dark until the Metropolitan Grand Opera
Co. come to fill a month's engagement about five
weeks hence.
"The Love Cure," with Charles F. Ross and
Elgie Bowen, and "Old Dutch," with Lew Fields,
after to-night's bill, also leave for other worlds to
conquer. The latter is succeeded at the Gar-
rick by "The Girl and the Wizard," with Sam
Bernard. "Dick Whittington," another Shubert
production, opened at the Lyric the first of the
week for a four weeks' run. "Miss Nobody From
Starland" (Harris) and "The Flirting Princess"
(Harris), at the Princess, and La Salle theaters,
respectively, continue for indefinite periods.
Ted Barron, Western manager for M. Wit-
mark & Sons, in a recent chat said that the
best evidence of the popularity of a song is the
alacrity with which the professionals take to
it almost before it is off the presses. He cited
an instance of the point in the bill at the
Casino this week, in which two illustrated song
vocalists, each appearing as a separate act, are
using "Tie Your Little Bull Outside." Moreover,
the audiences are not only "standing" for this un-
usual state of affairs, but are giving each rendi-
tion a good hand.
Jerome H. Remick paid Chicago a flying visit
the latter part of this week. His private sanc-
tum in the new quarters presented an appear-
ance of floral excellence in honor of the occa-
sion. Mr. Remick has every reason to believe
that this year will witness considerable progress
in all lines, and especially that of sheet music.
He feels that his house is producing the goods
and that their coming songs are especially big
with promise. Mr. Remick leaves for headquar-
ters in Detroit on Sunday night.
"The Music Art Shop," presided over by Lulu
Jones Downing, one of Chicago's foremost fem-
inine composers, is putting forth some very sub-
stantial claims for high-grade material. This
particularly is evidenced by the reception ac-
corded "Somewhere," "Apparitions," "A Day and
Its Dreams" and "Life's Twilight."
J. F. Sumner, who is filling Harry Newton's
shoes for a few days as professional manager
for Will Rossiter, owing to Mr. Newton's con-
finement to his home on account of la grippe,
speaks very enthusiastically of their song, "Baby
Grand," as a feature for a headline act. He is
also considerably impressed with the "magnet-
ism" shown by their new kid song, "Candy."
"Bennie" Bornstein, one of the best result
getters in the trade is at the Saratoga Hotel,
accomplishing things in the interest of Harry
Von Tilzer. He is working heavily on "Put Your
Foot on the Soft Pedal," "Yiddisher Rag," and
"Funny Face." Two of the biggest hits in the
West to-day, Mr. Bornstein says, are "My South-
ern Rose" and "Cubanola Glide," both of which
