THAT GUS Edwards is laying plans looking
toward the incorporation of a new music pub-
lishing company.
THAT this report will soon be verified, and
for other words besides "ye gods and little
fishes!" help yourself from the dictionary.
THAT William H. Penn, who withdrew last
Saturday as manager of the New York office of
the Music House of Laemmle, will srek a much-
needed rest before re-entering the music pub-
lishing business.
THAT Mr. Penn has been in poor health for
fome time, this being given as the primary cause
of his withdrawal.
THAT the Laemmle headquarters are hence-
forth to be in this city, with Homer Howard in
charge, assisted by Raymond A. Browne.
THAT Irene Franklin is playing her farewell
to vaudeville again this week.
THAT the famous singer of "Red Head" will
positively play her farewell week in vaudeville
next week.
THAT the week beginning May 2 will mark the
farewell appearance in vaudeville of Mrs. Burt
Green.
THAT with only eight characters and no chorus
"Madame Troubadour" would seem to have
strayed too far from the beaten path of success-
ful musical productions ever to find a place
among them.
THAT "Dope," a "rag two-step" published in
Milwaukee, is dedicated "to the music journals
and press in general," but we don't use it.
THAT an original song has just been published
—"Waltz Me Till I'm Weary, Dearie."
THAT you might think it was like "Waltz Me
Around Again, Willie," but it isn't, except in
general idea and title.
THAT Henry B. Harris has denied to Acton
Davies, dramatic critic of the Sun, admission
to the Hudson Theater because the critic slighted
the former's production, "A Skylark," now at the
New York Theater.
THAT Marie Dressier, in "Tillie's Nightmare"
(Harris) will follow "The Yankee Girl" (Sha-
piro) into the Herald Square Theater, where
Blanche Ring has scored success in the latter
production.
THAT "A Skylark" will move to-night from the
New York Theater, but will undoubtedly have a
great vogue in other cities, as "The Goddess of
Liberty" has had after a brief stay on Broadway.
THAT Hauerbach and Hoschna will shortly en-
gage upon a work in which Hyams and Mcln-
tyre will appear, backed by Joseph M. Gaites
and the Witmarks.

THAT the singers of comic songs in London
have taken Rostand's play, "Chantecler," as the
theme for their humor for the time being.
THAT "The flirting Princess" (Harris) ended
its run in Chicago last Sunday, holding the sea-
son's record for the largest number of perform-
ances of one show in that city.
THAT Tom Quigley, manager for Shapiro in
Chicago, will be in Atlantic City this summer,
where he expects to have a very busy time boost-
ing the prints which Shapiro is turning out in
rapid-fire fashion these days.
THAT while Blanche Ring and Reine Davis are
scrapping over "Clap Hands," the song is being
used by. Grace La Rue in "Molly May" at her
unmolested leisure.
THAT as Harry Williams and Edgar Van Al-
styne will be responsible, respectively, for the
lyrics and music of "The Comic Supplement,"
which is slated for the New Amsterdam Roof
this summer, J. H. Remick & Co. will presumably
be the publishers.
The Albright Music Co., located at 195 Wa-
bash avenue, it is understood, will also remove

Joe Harris, western.manager for Chas. K. Har-
ris, took a run from French Lick Springs last
week to root for the "Cubs" on their invasion
of Cincinnati to inaugurate the baseball season.
In spite of such an ardent supporter, however,
the bears were trapped.
The White Sox baseball team opened their
season here last Thursday . at the South Side
grounds and any number of local sheet music
fans witnessed the initial game. One of the
features of the day was the lively work of a
local band, which gave a program of the popular
hits. A Remick quartet, with the aid of mega-
phones, gave "Gray Bonnet," "Silvery Moon,"
"Big Night To-night" and several other numbers,
to the delight of the fans. A baseball song,
written extemporaneously by one of the quartet,
was also used as a means of awakening enthusi-
asm.
