THE
What Arc Your
Plans?
Are you going to put fresh energy into the
handling of CENTURY EDITION during the com-
ing season and add to your profits, or are you
going to sit still and complain about poor busi=
ness? If you are going to SELL Century Edition,
we are with you, but if you are going to groan,
you'll have to do your groaning alone.
Here's A Message For
The Live Ones
We have planned and will carry out a National
campaign of advertising that will cover the coun-
try and benefit directly every dealer In Century
Edition. We are planning to co=operate with the
dealer directly in his local advertising. This is
going to be THE Century Edition season and
we'll do about everything tor you but wrap up
the music for your customer.
The CENTURY EDITION message is like the
message to Garcia. It's going to get to you some
time. Why not now?
There's dozens of reasons why you should han--
die Century Edition and not one reason why you
shouldn't. Get the facts for the asking.

ANOTHER NEW SONG BY BYRON GAY.
Hymn Cay, of "The Little Ford Rambled Right
Along" and "Gasoline Gus and His Jitney Bus"
fame, has written another song, entitled "Funny
Moon,"' which has been published by W. A. Quincke
& Co., of Los Angeles, Cal. Judging from present
indications in the way of advance orders, the new
song will prove even more popular than Mr. Gay's
former efforts.

MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
MREVIDVflL\R5
THAT in a recent interview Irene Franklin de-
clared that she could sing two notes and fake seven.
THAT there are many singers in vaudeville who
do worse than that, but won't admit it.
THAT in discussing "color music" one song writer
declares that the only color in music that appeals to
him is the green of the money it is expected to
bring.
THAT the talking machine and music roll com-
panies are showing a tendency to record the song
hits of a quarter of a century or more ago, accord-
ing to the new lists issued.
THAT if the practice grows it will serve to cut
down the present royalty statements, which, accord-
ing to many, are not as large as they might be.
THAT with a number of popular musical comedies
going on tour, among them "The Girl from Utah,"
"The Only Girl," "Chin-Chin," etc., there should be
an increased demand for the leading numbers in
those productions.
THAT there are enough promising songs announced
by the leading publishers to make the outlook for
the new season generally satisfactory. It is to be
hoped that appearances are not deceptive.
THAT Blanche Leslie, a well-known writer of
popular songs, died suddenly in a local hospital last
week, following an operation for appendicitis.
THAT another professional department is to di-
vorce itself from business headquarters and move
uptown to the theatrical district.
THAT it is not to be forgotten that the first pub-
lisher who tried the dividing stunt was laughed at.

CHICAGO, I I I . , September 6.—Rocco Vocco, West-
ern manager of Leo Feist, Inc., is putting in one of
the busiest months in his career in preparation for
the big Feist fall campaign. The Feist interests in
Chicago have been growing fast during the past
year, and much of the credit is ascribed to Mr.
Vocco's energetic efforts. At the present time the
four most popular Feist songs are: "Norway," "My
Own Venetian Rose," "Come Back, Dixie, and "If
We Can't Be the Same Old Sweethearts." The first
two are being used by Kitty Gordon in her swing
around the Orpheum circuit, and they are going
strong. "If We Can't Be the Same Old Sweet-
hearts" is also tremendously popular in the Middle
West, and Ed and Jack Smith, who have been
showing at the Hippodrome the past week, have
been using it with unusual success.
