'WHEN I WAS A DREAMER' A SUCCESS
New High-Class Ballad by Lewis, Little & Van
Alstyne Being Featured in Vaudeville.
I he list of high-class ballads at present avail-
able has reL'eiv.'d a. most desirable addition in
"When 1 Was A Dreamer" (and You Were My
Dream), one of the recent publications of Jer-
ome H. Remick & Co., and which has been par-
ticularly well received by both the profession and
the public. The ballad, with words by Roger
Lewis and George A. Little and music by Egbert
Van Alstyne, is far better than the ordinary bal-
lad offering both in the character of the music and
the lyric and as a result has been featured by a
number of prominent singers in vaudeville with
excellent results.
Although the number has
"'class" as it is termed, it is, nevertheless, easily
sung, which fact should make for its further pop-
n.laritv.
THAT the month of June will be a very busy
season in musical circles in New York and
vicinity.
THAT with the annual meeting of the music
dealers, the annual convention of the Music Pub-
lishers of the United States, and the annual con-
vention of the New York State Music Teachers'
Association, all coming within a week or so, there
should be no lack of interest.
THAT Leo Edwards is no longer connected with
Chas. K. Harris, but is at present engaged in
some work in theatrical lines.
THAT, in view of recent developments, A lively
group of publishers have \opes of getting into
the 10-cent record business on a good basis.
THAT several of th? local publishers are taking
time by the forelock and cutting their staffs in
preparation for the expected summer dullness.
THAT it is about time for another attack on the
evils of 10-cent music, and its harmful effect on
the trade.
THAT the songwriters with regular jobs are now
busy trying to get the boss to stand for a little
trip to Atlantic City to do a little plugging along
the boardwalk.
THAT now the concerns who have found it
rather dull during the past few months are tell-
ing what they are going to do in the line of
producing hits next season.
THAT hopefulness is apparently one of the great-
est assets of those engaged in the various branches
of the music game.

One of the most interesting of the annual con-
ventions of the New York State Music Teachers'
Association will be that to be held at the Hotel
McAlpin, New York, on June 15, 16 and 17. Dur-
ing the convention a special feature will be made
of the production of American composers, and
hundreds of American compositions will be pre-
sented to show the marked advance which has been
made in musical standards in this country.
IRVING BERLIN ]N_FAST COMPANY.
Compose Song Around Lyrics by Geo.
Bernard Shaw, for London Production of
"Watch Your Step."
Irving Berlin is having his name linked with the
mighty these days. Not long ago came a cablegram
saying Puccini had asked the young master of syn-
copation to collaborate with him in composing an
opera, and while Mr. Berlin would not talk about
the matter he intimated it was so. And now it is
announced that he is to compose the melody for
lyrics George Bernard Shaw will write for a song
to be introduced in the London production of
"Watch Your Step." This bit of news came in a
letter to Charles Dillingham from R. H. Burnside,
who is in London staging the revue at the Palace
for Alfred Butt.
