REVIEW
The accompanying cartoon, which appeared in
the New York Evening Journal on last Saturday,
was used to illustrate the enthusiasm of King
George and the royal family of Great Britain
American wit, in a dialogue between the dummy
and himself, amused the King immensely. When
the dummy sang "In All My Dreams I Dream of
You," the King applauded and demanded the song
to be sung over again. Mr. Montgomery was sum-
moned before His Majesty and presented with a
royal gold watch, the case of which bears this in-
scription: "M. M. from G. Rex, July 31, 191], to
a Great Artist." Mr. Montgomery's stay in Lon-
when Marshall Montgomery sang "In All My
Dreams I Dream of You," the big song hit pub-
lished by Leo Feist. The following text matter ac-
companied the cartoon:
"Marshall Montgomery, America's foremost ven-
triloquist, during Coronation week appeared before
King George and the crowned heads of Europe at
Buckingham Palace on the evening of July 31,
1911. Mr. Montgomery, with his great amount oi
don, in the various music halls was most success-
ful. He is appearing at Hammerstein's Victoria
this week. King George was so infatuated with
the song "In All My Dreams I Dream of You"
that Mr. Montgomery has sent him an orchestra-
tion painted on silk, which will be played by the
Royal Court Orchestra."
It might be mentioned that Mr. Montgomery has
repeated his London success in New York.
THE SONG THAT PLEASED ROYALTY.
King George Demands Encore of " I n All My
Dreams I Dream of You," the Big Feist Hit.
THAT we personally put it up to the latter.
THAT the new E. T. Paull number, "The Dashing
Cavalier" march, is keeping up the Paull reputation
for big sellers.
THIAT several of the "Most Popular" series of
music folios bound in cloth are offered for the
holiday trade.
THAT they make very attractive and welcome
gifts for musicians.
THAT the Irving Place Theater is the spot to
find some really good Viennese operettas these
days.
THAT Lehar seems to have struck the popular
chord in his "Gypsy Love," if the opinion of prac-
tically every critic in New York is to be taken as a
criterion.
