Latest Publications of the Rowe Music Pub-
lishing Co., Arnold, Pa., Which Have Won
Favor of the Public—Has Large Catalog.
One of the several concerns located outside of
the big cities, who have won a measure of success
publishing music of the popular order, is the
Rowe Music Publishing Co., of Arnold, Pa., which
has built up a fair-sized catalog of good selling
numbers. Three of the latest and most popular
numbers in the catalog of the company include "In
the Valley Where the Allegheny Flows," with
words by E. Allen Rowe and music by M. C. and
William Rowe; a number of the ballad order with
a very pleasing melody, especially in the chorus,
"A Message from Dreamland," words and music
by Wm. R. Clay, a thoroughly attractive piece with
original and appealing melody, and which has thus
far proven one of the best sellers in the company's
list; and a lively little ditty of the light or cabaret
order, "O. U. Kutey, You're a Beauty," words by
Edgar Rowe and music by W. A. and M. C. Rowe.
It is a "girlie" song that offers something new in
both lyric and music. All three numbers, accord-
ing to the publishers, have been productive of
numerous and frequent orders from the retail
trade, especially in the East.
A YANKEE IN GAY "PAREE."
A Story Which Illustrates the Importance of
Sight Seers Acquiring the Language Before
"Doing" Paris—How a Bright Young Ameri-
can Made a Fool of Himself.
Irving Berlin, ragtime composer, who returned
from abroad a few days ago, picked up in Paris
a story which the late General Stewart L. Wood-
ford, Minister to Spain before the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, told during his last visit in Paris.
A young American who was desirous of "doing"
Paris thoroughly was handicapped by ignorance of
the French language. He decided to make the
street corner near his hotel his range finder.
He went to the corner and carefully copied the
sign on the fence, then called a taxi and, showing
the chauffeur the copy of the sign, directed him to
drive him around a while and then return to that
identical corner.
The chauffeur smiled as the American stepped
in. The taxi sped through no end of streets and
stopped finally at a strange corner. The ride
cost five dollars.
In Vaudeville
EDITH HELENA
Singing
"ISLE D'AMOUR"
This wonderful song has
marked a new epoch in
Songland. More REAL
singers have sung it than
any popular ballad ever
written. It is the biggest
CONSISTENT SELLER in
America today!
LEO. FEIST, Inc., - NEW YORK
"This is funny," thought the American. "Guess
that driver took me for a good thing."
He hailed another taxi, showed the driver the
designation of the corne/" at which he wished to
alight and carefully repeated his orders.
The second chauffeur smiled and away jumped
the taxi. After a long spin, as before, the vehicle
halted at another corner utterly unknown to the
American. Five dollars more.
''Something funny about this," soliloquized the
American as he stood there thinking it over. Then
he addressed a passing American.
"Excuse me," he said, "but will you please look
at the name of the street corner on this piece of
paper and tell trre why it is that every time I ask
a taxi driver to set me down there he smiles and
'•akes me for a good thing, drives me around Paris,
finally dumps me on a strange corner and soaks
me twenty francs?"
"I see," nodded American No. 2, "N' affiche
pas.' 'Post no bills.' "
You Won't Believe It, But—
after we had seen so much obscene, we tore the "rags"
from "Rag-time," then plucked the "sick" from
"Classic" and knocked a different kind of "sick" out
of "Music"—the result was FIVE OLD-FASHIONED,
GOOD SONGS—Retail, 10 cents.
Then we "Whooped her up" into regular "seven-
come-eleven time" and what we have to show for that
is a folio of SIXTEEN real, live, GENUINE COL-
LEGE SONGS—In folio, retail, 50 cents.
Ask about them. Ask to see them.
