CHAS. K. HARRIS TOURING IN IOWA.
At Least, the Marshalltown Daily Herald Says
So, and the Loyalty of the Advance Agent Is
Thereby Well Demonstrated.
Although Chas. K. Harris has not been out
of town for three or four months and expects that
business will keep him in his office until it calls
him to 'Frisco (about the time of the Jeffries-
Johnson debate), he received a copy of the Mar-
shalltown (Iowa) Daily Herald the other day, in
which was set forth details of a visit which he
had just paid that thriving city. The paper was
dated March 9, and had a first page "story" which
opened as follows:
"Mort H. Singer, the Chicago producing man-
ager, who has given the stage many musical at-
tractions, and Chas. K. Harris, the famous popu-
lar song writer, who leaped into fame with 'After
the Ball,' visited Marshalltown for a short time
yesterday morning, being en route to Chicago
from Omaha, where they were present Monday
night at the new Brandes Theater. The opening
attraction at the theater there was 'The Goddess
of Liberty.'"
As Mr. Harris is the publisher of the music of
"The Goddess of Liberty," it would seem that the
advance agent of that company felt that he ought
not to slight him when turning out "copy," even
'way out in Iowa.
'CLAP HANDS" UNDER INJUNCTION.
A temporary injunction, restraining Reine
Davies from singing the new song, "Clap Hands,"
has been granted to Blanche Ring and Seymour
Furth by Judge Lacombe of the United States
Circuit Court. Miss Davies is now appearing in
vaudeville on the William Morris circuit. It is
recalled that earlier in the season Felix Isman
vainly endeavored to restrain Miss Ring from
singing in "The Yankee Girl" the song "Rings
on My Fingers,' which, Mr. Isman insisted, be-
longed exclusively to "The Midnight Sons." Now
members of the theatrical profession believe they
see in the latest injunction an aftermath of Mr.
Isman's attempt to enjoin Miss Ring last fall.
He is interested in the Morris vaudeville circuit,
and Miss Ring's friends hint that he induced
Miss Davies to sing "Clap Hands" in the course
of her repertoire. A coincidence is that George
W. Lederer, Miss Davies' husband, was Miss
Ring's manager when she appeared in "The Jer-
sey Lily." Verily, the business of getting new
songs before the public has wheels within wheels.
OPENS STORE IN ATLANTIC CTIY.
Shapiro's new store in Atlantic City was
opened on Monday of last week at 1633 Board-
walk. This store is to be kept open the year
round. The opening had been scheduled for
the previous Saturday, but was delayed. The old
Shapiro store, which has been operated during
the summer season in previous years, will
probably be reopened in a few weeks.
