THAT with hunting down performers and being
in turn hunted up by performers, the life of the
ptofessional manager is a busy one these days.
THAT to hear some of them shove over the
"salve" while trying out a number would make a
successful book agent blush with the realization
of his own weakness.
THAT the librarian in charge of the music sec-
tion of the Public Library reports a great demand
for the works of the past masters these days.
THAT certain song writers have been seen fre-
quently in the neighborhood.
THAT owing to certain changes in the trade a
number of well-known song writers have seen
their prospects of big royalties emulate the ex-
ample of the Arabs and as silently steal away.
THAT the instance offers further proof that the
tax collector and the undertaker are the only sure
thing artists in this litle world.
THAT Thomas Quigley, general manager of the
Laemmle Music Publishing Co., has been sojourn-
ing at Atlantic City for a few days.
THAT "The Pink Lady" (Chappell) is breaking
the record for a summer run at the New Amster-
Business Is Good!
"Summer Days
is a popular big-
selling hit; proving conclusively that sheet
music is sold during the Summer.
Some dealers seam to overlook this fact
and permit their stock ol " CENTURY
EDITION
to run down—because it's
standard music.
"CENTURY EDITION" sells at
all times, provided you have it
in
stock; the only time you cannot sell it
is when you don t have it in stock.
Keep up your stock during the Sum-
mer and it will keep up your business!
Most wise dealers do.

ence to applaud, despite profuse perspiration that
the efforts caused on the hot nights.
In some ways the music did not have a fair
chance, as the voices of the male principals were
not at all suited to the singing of the higher
grade numbers. Talking in time to music does
not constitute singing, as Messrs. Hyams and
Forbes should realize.
One of the features of "The Girl of My Dreams"
is the fact that it actually possesses a plot that
can be followed.
A bachelor, who is also a motorist, has an acci-
dent on the road and meets a demure little Quaker-
ess whom he invites to visit him in the city in the
care of her father. Her innocence wins his heart,
but it does not keep his ingenuity from devising
humorous means of eluding his earlier flames dur-
ing the courtship. The story is complicated by
a revengeful milliner and a jealous South Amer-
ican.
Broadway is a locality where fickleness is a
watchword, and it is never safe to prophesy just
how long a show will last. Judging from its
success in the West and its reception at the Cri-
terion on Monday night, "The Girl of My Dreams"
seems due for a long run. The music is published
In- M. Witmark & Sons.
The editor of the Music Section acknowledges
the receipt of late issues of their music from the
Vandersloot Music Pub. Co., Williamsport, Pa.;
Thos. Goggan & Bro., Dallas, Tex., and Church,
