NEW JACOBS-BOND NUMBER
"Got to Practice" a High-Class Musical Nov-
elty That Is Winning Success
One of the most successful recent releases
and one that has created favorable comment
even among its competitors is the new song from
the pen of Carrie Jacobs-Bond. The number
is entitled, "Got to Practice," and has an ex-
ceptionally appealing lyric and melody, which
is produced in story form. A little child, who
has to take the usual half hour at exercises
on the piano, protests to its mother and the
result of the whole is one of the most heart-
warming and appealing songs of its class that
has been produced in some seasons.

REVIEW
I M REVIEW HEARS
THAT Kalmar, Puck and Abrahams Consoli-
dated, Inc., have acquired professional rooms
and offices on the third floor of the Strand
Theatre Building.
THAT following the success of those wierd but
fascinating melodies, the Blues and the Jazzes,
we are now being introduced to the "Hokum."
THAT a hokum band has already made its ap-
pearance on Broadway, and the first release of
the new style of music is being made by Jos.
W. Stern & Co. in a new number entitled "Jazbo
Johnson's Hokum Band."
THAT Otto Motzan threatens to write a patri-
otic song which will make those that are al-
ready on the market hunt for cover.
THAT Otto appears to be one little composer
who keeps his word or in other words, makes
good his threats.
THAT Jack Glogau, of the professional staff
of T. B. Harms and Francis, Day & Hunter, left
early this week for a few days' stay in Boston.
THAT Jack is livelier than ever in his new
position, which is going some.
THAT the average publisher is turning away at
least fifty patriotic compositions daily.
THAT it is understood the copyright office has
been forced to add extra help to handle the
flood of patriotic songs.
THAT they are all good, but after the excite-
ment is over there will probably be found one
that has proved far superior to the rest as far
as popularity is concerned.
LADY PIANISTS THREATEN TO STRIKE
Workers in Song Shops Declare Their Hours
Are So Long That Nerves Are Wrecked
More trouble for the poor publishers! The
girls who play the piano in the various music
shops uptown are now said to be organizing a
union to secure shorter working hours for
themselves.
The girls declare that they are
expected to play constantly from 9 a. m. until
5 p. m., with an allowance of one hour for
luncheon and rest. They claim that the strain
is wrecking their nerves.
"Any one who knows what it is to practice
for two hours will understand what a piano siege
is for us," said a frail brunette in one shop.
"Why, it gives us St. Vitus's dance in the pinkies
to beat the stuff day after day. My fingers
twitch like I was sending telegrams all the way
up in the subway.
It's something awful, be-
lieve me.
"Then at night, instead of the real Morpheus
stuff, the three-flat nightmare comes along and
races an upright piano for eight furlongs—the
wonder is that we live through it."
HARRY VON TILZER^S CONTRIBUTION
. Taking advantage of the psychological mo-
ment for issuing a new patr'otic song, Harry
Von Tilzer has got into the running by publish-
ing a patriotic number entitled: "The Man Be-
hind the Hammer and the Plow," which gives
some credit to the man behind the firing line.
The Harry Von Tilzer Music Publishing Co.
reports a most successful year's business, and
expects the new song to improve the record.

McKINLEY MUSIC CO. BUYS OLD SONG
Will Issue a New Edition of Old Success "I
Don't Want to Play in Your Yard"
CHICAGO, III., May 7.—An echo of other days
comes with the announcement that the McKin-
ley Music Co. have purchased from H. W.
Petrie, the song "I Don't Want to Play in Your
Yard," which was a very big seller twenty years
ago.
This song has been "out of print" for
years, but the McKinley Co. are getting out
a new edition, and think there is a lot of life
in the old song yet.
William J. Rugor, of the traveling staff of
the A. J. Stasny Music Co., will shortly arrive
home after an extended trip through the West.
