SHERMAN, CLAY & CO.'S NEW SONG

SAN
FRANCISCO, . CAL.,
October 13.—Edward T.
Little, manager of the sheet music department
of Sherman, Clay & Co., predicts a big sale of
"Lil Liza Jane," a song which made a decided
hit in San Francisco recently, when it was
sung for the first time at the Columbia Theatre
during the run of the play, "Come Out of the
Kitchen," produced by Henry Miller.
Sher-
man, Clay & Co. have secured the publishing
rights of this piece, and as the play in which
it was introduced to the public is about to be
put on in New York, there is good reason to
expect a lively demand in the East as well
as the West.
On account of the "Path of Gold" Fancy
Dress Ball to-night, the meeting of the San
Francisco Sheet Music Dealers' Association has
been postponed for one week. Pleasure before
business—sometimes.
Sam Fox, head of the Sam Fox Musisc Co.,
Cleveland, who is at present on a Western tour,
recently booked two large orders in one day
while in Los Angeles, one from the Southern
California Music Co., that city, and the other
from the Bergstrom Music C o , of Honolulu,
H. I. Although Mr. Fox is a lively salesman,
he was not in two places at once. He sim-
ply had the good fortune of meeting W. D.
Adams, president of the Bergstrom Music Co.,
in Los Angeles, and a showing of the Fox
prints and some first-class sales talk did the
rest.

Hermann Lohr's latest song, "Any Place Is
Heaven if You Are Near Me." It is generally
agreed that "lightning does not strike twice in
