NEW BALLADJHAKING GOOD.
'I Wonder Who's Next in Your Heart" Being
Well Featured—Jos. E. Howard Meeting
with Success with "Cotton Picking Time in
Dixie Land" in Vaudeville.
Chas. K. Harris' latest ballad, "I Wonder Who's
Next in Your Heart," is fast proving a worthy
successor, from the final test of sales, of the many
other Harris ballad successes that have gone be-
fore. The ballad is being used extensively by
prominent vaudeville singers and other profes-
sionals.
Another Harris publication that is proving very
successful at present is "Cotton Picking Time in
Dixie Land," by Jos. E. Howard, and which is
being featured in vaudeville by Mr. Howard him-
self. In connection with the song Mr. Howard
is using some special motion pictures which are
very effective just at this time with the "Buy-a-
Balc-of-Cotton" movement in full swing.

THAT, according to a letter published in a con-
temporary, Chas. K. Harris has given up active
interest in his business and for some time past
has been living quietly in Milwaukee.
THAT, as Mr. Harris, up to Wednesday of this
week at least, has been in his office in New York
every business day he has probably discovered the
valuable secret of being able to be in two places
at the same time.
THAT more dangerous than a little knowledge is
much knowledge of thinks that aren't so.
THAT when it is stated that none of the mem-
bers of the Board of Trade pay singers, even
quietly, there are those in the trade who actually
smile.
THAT the "Andra" waltz, by Frank Witmark
(Witmark & Sons), is proving very successful,
and is declared to be even better than his famous
"Zenda" waltz.
THAT much of the effectiveness of the campaign
being carried on against cabarets, hotels, etc., by
the American Society of Authors, Composers and
Publishers depends upon the results of the appeal
from the decision in favor of the John Church Co.
and against the Vanderbilt Hotel.
THAT Sam Speck and Johann Schmid, both for-
merly connected with Remick & Co., have formed
a partnership for publishing music in New York
under the name of the Cosmopolitan Music Co.
THAT Mr. Schmid has composed a number of
successful numbers, including "Garden of Dfeams."
THAT the crop of new publishing houses appears
to be unusually large this fall despite the large
cry of hard times.
THAT the "silver" cups won at song contests last
just about as long as the songs that won them,
which fact helps to prevent overcrowding.
THAT the "raw" or "smut" song is seldom a
paying proposition has been proven recently in
several instances. The class that sing them are
not large music buyers.
"CHIN=CHIN" ON BROADWAY.
New Musical Comedy Pleases New York Critics
—Ivan Caryll's Music Praised.
"Chin-Chin," a new musical comedy with music
by Ivan Caryll, book by Anne Calwell and R. H.
Burnside and lyrics by Anne Calwell, which en-
joyed a successful premiere in Philadelphia on
September 30, came to Broadway on Tuesday of
this week, and bids fair to keep the Globe Theater
well filled for some time to come. The music of
the piece came in for particular comment in press
reviews. "Good-bye, Girls, I'm Through," "Go
Gar Sig Gong Jue," "The Mulberry Tree" and
"Temple Bells" are among the numbers that were
favorably commented upon. In New York as in
Philadelphia a strong feature of the show was the
singing of "It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary,"
the march song of the British soldiers, by Mont-
gomery & Stone, the stars of the piece. The music
of "Chin-Chin" is published by Chappell & Co.
The Review is the market place of the trade.

A New Idea of the Illustrated Song That Is
Now Being Worked Out.
A number of the popular composers and song
writers are finding much entertainment and at the
same time profit in the proposition of the recently
organized Treble Clef Co., which illustrates songs
in a new kind of way. Under the new system the
song writers, and perhaps a singer or two, "act out"
before a motion picture camera the song with the
lyric as a scenario. The resultant film, showing

EFFECTIVE MARCHING MUSIC.
In France all the military marches are so ar
ranged that the band and the drum and bugle
corps supplement each other throughout. Some-
times the band accompanies a stirring theme blown
on the bugles; sometimes the band has the theme
and the bugles are obligato. The contrapuntal
effects are often very ingenious and effective, and
it is the most inspiring martial music imaginable.

It's what is inside of the Sterling that has made its repu-

attention from expert workmen—every material used in ita
construction is the best—absolutely. That means a piano
of permanent excellence in every particular in which a

these facts and the universal popularity of the Sterling.
