English verses were written by Paul M. Potter

"The Man with Three Wives," who is famous for
his "Merry Widow." Mr. Potter, who is one of
the leading playwrights in this country, has

Ruffles," is now in vaudeville and is featuring
the new ballad. She is also singing the novelty
number, "Under the Magnolia Tree." Stuart,
the "Male Patti," has been singing three num-
bers published by Chas. K. Harris, "I Wonder
Who's Kissing Her Now," "It's Always June
When You're in Love," and "If All the Moons
Were Honeymoons," the last-named song being
from "The Goddess of Liberty." Permission to
use this song was obtained by Stuart.
Several new numbers have been added to the
catalog of the Theodore Morse Music Co., which
has been prominent this season with its "Molly
Lee," "On a Monkey Honeymoon," and "He's a
College Boy." Among the new numbers are
"Just a Little Ring from You," "Love Me to the
Music of a Ragtime Tune," "That Good Old Irish
Rag," and "Booby." A real hit or two may de-
velop among the new numbers later. The three
songs first mentioned have been successful, as
has "Kitty Gray,'' a Morse ballad. In these days
of evident preference for novelty numbers the
song, "On a Monkey Honeymoon," seems to have
hit the mark. It is a stirring, catchy meloay,
with snappy verses which are surprisingly tak-
ing. The writer heard it properly presented at
the American Music Hall recently and felt that
further exploitation would make it widely suc-
cessful. "Phoebe Jane" is still another new
Morse song. I t is a southern serenade, with
words by R. H. Buck, author of "Dear Old Girl"
and music by Theodore Morse.
We understand that the Chicago office of the
Morse Co. is running to capacity in the Oneonta
building, Clark and Randolph streets, with Tom
Mayo Geary in charge. Since Mr. Geary has
been in charge of the Morse interests in the
West he has been enjoying success with such
songs as Morse's "Blue Feather," "He's a College
Boy," "Molly Lee," "Just a Little Ring From
You," etc. Business has increased to such an
extent that they have added two new piano
rooms and have increased the staff.
