NEW BALL AND^ARROLL SONG.
Ernest R. Ball and Earl Carroll, both members
of the staff of M. Witmark & Sons, have just com-
pleted a new song entitled: "Won't You Take Me
Home to Meet Your Mother," that is distinctly
original both in lyrics and music, and which will be
strongly featured by the publishers.

THE SONG OF SONGS
MREVIEWflEARS
THAT while originality in song titles is much to
be commended, the announcement of a song en-
titled : "You Made a Bum of Me," by a Western
concern appears to be pushing the matter of origi-
nality a, bit.
THAT E. T. Paull, who has been on a Supreme
Court jury for the past two weeks, declares that
being a good citizen is a long way from being good
business.
THAT the happy smiles of the solemn grouches
among the song writers during the past couple of
weeks have been due largely to the receipt of the
regular royalty check.
THAT one song writer compared his royalty
statement with the advertised sale of the song it
covered and he hasn't smiled since.
THAT the cost incurred by the Board of Trade in
a decision against some of the smaller manufac-
turers of music rolls will in the end bring the re-
sult of "so much for so much," with most of the
profit in satisfaction.
THAT with ten cent music rolls and ten cent talk-
ing machine records holding the interest of music
publishers, the publishing game bids fair to be-
come like the modern drug store, everything han-
dled except drugs.
THAT Leo Feist, Inc., has just brought from
under cover two new comedy songs of a topical
nature, the names of which must still be hidden,
but which are being grabbed up by some prominent
performers. They're good.
THAT now is the chance for song writers to plan
for the proposed coming of Billy Sunday, the evan-
gelist, by dashing off a few songs dedicated to him.
THAT Edgar Selden has given up the music pub-
lishers business to re-enter the theatrical field in
which he was prominent some years ago.

THAT his former quarters at 1560 Broadway have
been taken over by M. Witmark & Sons as their

LUCKSTONE COMPOSES.
Isidore Luckstone, vocal teacher and coach, has
composed the music for a romantic light opera

The "Tipperary Guards,*' the new march soilg

by the E. T. Faull Music Co., New York, has made
A distinct impression on the trade, as is apparent
from the Volume of orders that have already been
received for that number. The experience of the
dealers with the Pauli marches iri the past has lead
them to accept the new numbers offered by this
house without question when presented and the
preliminary orders thus filed have in fhost cases
beeh followed by reorders. The title is a good One,
and is a distinct asset from a sales viewpoint at
this particular time. The music is of the snappy
march tempo, suitable also for the one-step and
has just enough of the Celtic character in it to
make the music harmonize with the title. This is
the first real E. T. Paull march to make its appear-
ance for a year or more, and is, therefore, particu-
larly welcome.

KICKS ABOUT THE M_ANY WAR SONGS.
Writer to Daily Newspaper Has Loud Wail to
Deliver Regarding "Meaningless and Mu-
sicless Doggerel."
While the song writers and music publishers are
busy racking their brains for new ideas for war
songs that will still be in a neutral class, it might
be well to listen to the following "kick" contained
in a letter sent to the New York Sun. The writer
of the letter, who, to all appearances, is a bit
peeved over the matter and signs himself, "Tired"
(he resides in Brooklyn), says:
"Not the least of the inflictions put upon us by
the war has been the surfeit of 'songs' touching on
and appertaining to the great catastrophe.
"First comes, of course, the meaningless, mirth-
less and musicless doggerel about the distance in-
tervening between some unnamed place and Tip-
perary. Besides that gem there must be at least
two dozen o'.hcr musical efforts to impress upon a
long suffering people the fact that a great war is
going on.
"This, added to our other troubles nowadays, is
almost unbearable."

piano should excel. The dealer sees the connection between
these facts and the universal popularity of the Sterling
