In Order to Permit President Wilson to Hear
Her Sing Tribute to Him, She Has Song Re-
corded on Talking Machine.
As was recorded at the time when Miss Nora
Bayes appeared in Washington seveVal weeks ago
and sung, among other numbers, "We Take Our
Hats Off to You, Mr. Wilson," the big Leo Feist
success, the President, who owing to his recent
bereavement was unable to visit the theater, invited
Miss Bayes to visit the White House and thanked
her tribute in song, though regretting that he had
been unable to hear it. Feeling that such a pro-
ceeding might cause unpleasantness, Miss Bayes
did not carry out her plan of singing the song
at the White House, but the next week she called
at the factory of the Victor Talking Machine Co.
in Camden and recorded "We Take Our Hats Off
to You, Mr. Wilson." One of the records was
sent to President Wilson, accompanied by motion
pictures showing Miss Bayes arriving at the Vic-
tor factory in Camden, recording the song, leaving
the factory, journeying to Washington and ar-
riving at the White and finally leaving the White
House carrying a bouquet presented to her by the
President. It is declared the incident is unique in
theatricals.

That .ever popular Irish actor and singer,
Chauncey Olcott, began his annual season in New
York at the Grand Opera House last Monday eve-
ning in an entirely new play by Rachel Crothers
entitled "The Heart of Paddy Whack." The play
and all that pertains to it has, of course, a dis-
tinctly Irish flavor, that of pastoral Ireland at its
best, with the delightful little village and its char-
acters.
Mr. Olcott's songs, of course, are as great a
feature as of yore. Indeed, they are all in this
instance as good as the best he has ever given and
better than most of them. There are four num-
bers, written, as usual, in conjunction with Ernest
R. Ball, and as real popular numbers and good
