THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
Henry Woodruff, the musical comedy now play-
ing in the West to good houses, is set for January
at the Princess. Harris publishes the music.
Chauncey Olcott closes at McVickers' at the
end of next week. "Barry of Ballymore" is
playing to crowded houses, and the various tune-
ful numbers promise to linger in the ears of
lovers of the Irish lilt for many a day.
Clarice Vance, who, as everybody in the trade
knows, is the wife of Mose Gumble, has been
cheering up the audiences at the American this
week. Among other numbers she is singing
"I'm Going Where the Weather Suits My
Clothes" (Remick) and an English number,
"I've Just Got Back from Paris."
"The Girl in the Train," with Frank Daniels,
Sallie Fischer and Vera Michelena, succeeds
Bernhardt at the Studebaker a week hence. Wit-
marks publish the music.
"Bright Eyes" closes what has turned out to
be a decidedly successful engagement at the
Colonial a week hence, to go on the road. The
English musical comedy, ''Our Miss Gibbs," the
music of which is published by Chappell & Co.,
will take the boards there. Miss Pauline Chase
appears in the title role, but will, it is intimated,
depart for London after giving the entertainment
the prestige of her presence. She will then be
succeeded 1>v Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt.

Arthur Gillespie and Collin Davis, authors of the
book and lyrics of "Lower Berth 13," the musi-
cal farce published by Chas. K. Harris and now
in performance at the Whitney Opera House, Chi-
cago, are both Chicagoans. Gillespie first came
into fame as a song writer when he shared au-
thorship with Earle Remington. His first big suc-
cess was the song, "Absence Makes the Heart
Grow Fonder," which has been sung everywhere.
Some of his other well-known songs are "Hiram
Green, Good-Bye," "I Don't Want To Be a
Sailor," "The Last Rose of Summer Is the Sweet-
est Song of All," and "All I Want Is My Black
Baby Back." He has furnished nearly all the sing-
ing comedians in this country with material, says
the Morning Telegraph. He and Davis wrote the
musical comedy, "The Man from Bam," which
was produced at the Pekin Theater, and "The Girl
from Frisco" and "The Red Pappoose," two musi-
cal comedies, have been taken for production.
Gillespie and Harold Ward wrote "The Question
of the Hour," a temperance play which was pro-
duced in the South last spring.
Collin Davis also began his career as a song
writer. He wrote songs for Mabel Barrison and
William Norris in " The Land of Nod," the "Yama
