'SUNBONNET DAYS" IS RELEASED
FEATURING NEW REMICK NUMBER
FORMAL WELCOME FOR E. R. VO1QHT
New Summer Number Issued by Stasny Co.
Already Proving Popular
Attractive Display of Dixie Song Given at
Woolwortti Store in Boston
A new summer song from the pen of Chas.
Bayha, who wrote "Come Out of the Kitchen,
Mary Ann," and called "Sunbonnet Days,"
which is being published by the A. J. Stasny
Music Co., is now ready for release. The title
page of the number contains a reproduced photo
of that popular moving picture star, Jane Novak,
and is one of the most beautiful pieces of work
in the line of reproductions for title pages
that has been seen this season. The work
is by a new process never before used in title
page work and required four days and four
nights for its completion. The song itself was
made to sell in the summer time, and those who
have heard the lyric and melody are authority
for the prediction that it certainly will sell well
during the coming season.
One of the big song hits from the catalog
of J. H. Remick & Co. during the present sea-
son has been "She's Dixie All the Time," which
has a fine lyric and a very attractive melody.
Boston Publishers Honor New General Man-
ager of the Boston Music Co. With a Dinner
at the Boston Art Club Last Week
GE T=TOGETHER CLUB OUTING JUNE 23
Ditson Employes Preparing for Annual Picnic
—Chas. H. Ditson on Visit to Boston
BOSTON, MASS., May 28.—It is announced that
the annual summer outing of the Oliver Ditson
Get-Together Club will be held June 23, and
not June 17, as originally planned for. This
is because there are so many who wish to go
away for the week-end holiday. The party will
go down the harbor and have dinner at one of
the resorts.
Charles H. Ditson was over from New York
Friday and Saturday making his headquarters
at the Oliver Ditson Co.'s store. Mr. Furniss,
of the Ditson traveling staff, is home, and he
and Clarence A. Woodman are eagerly anticipat-
ing their trip over to New York on the occa-
sion of the annual meeting of the music pub-
lishers next month. Thomas L. Delaney, man-
ager of the sheet music department of Lyon &
Healy, Chicago, will meet them in New York.
HARRIS FAVORITE BEING FEATURED
Clias. K. Harris announces he is again to push
his big war time number, which was such a hit
during the Spanish-American war, "Just Break
the News to Mother." The new issue will have
an entirely new title page, which will be a
revelation in originality. The number will be
placed in the popular priced catalog of the Har-
ris publications.
McKinley's Smashing Hit
The Luscious, Sugary
Ballad Success
Remick Display in Woolworth Store
The number of professional singers on the big-
ger vaudeville circuits who are using the song
is not surprising when one hears the recep-
tion it is accorded wherever heard. Many
music dealers and syndicate stores have taken
advantage of the popularity of the number and
featured it in window displays, thus capitalizing
the song's success. Herewith is shown a re-
produced photograph of a window in the Wool-
worth store at 558 Washington street, Boston,
Mass., where an unusually attractive window
display was given "She's Dixie All the Time,"
as the picture shows.
ISSUE MANUAL OF BUGLE CALLS
Oliver Ditson Co., Boston, has just issued a
convenient manual of "Bugle Signals, Calls and
Marches," for army, navy, marine corps, na-
tional guard and other arms of military service.
The booklet is by Lieut. Daniel J. Canty, of the
9th Massachusetts Infantry National Guard, and
instructor of buglers for service schools, and
should prove particularly useful to various vol-
unteer military organizations, schools, Boy
Scouts, troops and similar bodies.

tion of him. Letters of regret were read from
Charles H. Ditson and Arthur P. Schmidt. The

ingly original, and were counterparts of a court
summons.

New Patriotic Number Issued by Hamilton S.
Gordon Is Being Well Received
The new patriotic number, "Unfurl the Flag,"
from the pens of John Butler and Alberto

EARLY CLOSING KILLS JAZZ MUSIC
According to reports, the 1 o'clock closing
law now effective in New York and other large
sections of the country has sounded the doom
of jazz music in cabarets and flancing parlors.
It appears that with plenty of time on their
hands the guests did not mind jazz music, but
with the time limited, they much prefer music
of a more tuneful character to which they can
dance witli ease and grace.

MREVIEWflEARS
THAT Jerome Keit, sales manager of J. H.
Remick & Co., spent part of last week at the
convention of post-card and novelty men in
Philadelphia.
THAT Mr. Keit is again doing his Christmas
shopping early.
THAT, despite the supposedly unsettled condi-
tions, publishers who have song hits or near
hits have no cause for complaint.
THAT there are a goodly number of just those
kinds of songs now abroad.
THAT there is one firm which has sold over
two hundred thousand of a number that was re-
leased since the declaration of war, and it is not
a patriotic number either.
THAT A. J. Stasny, of the A. J. Stasny Music
Co., spent part of last week at the Philadelphia
office of the concern.
THAT Geo. H. Bliss, secretary of the Greater
New York Music Publishers' and Dealers' As-
sociation, is coming in for censure for not hav-
ing an up-to-date bulletin on display at the
weekly luncheons held at Keen's Chop House.
THAT Mr. Bliss made the bulletin live reading
matter for a few weeks.
THAT if he had not proved such a success as
a bulletin writer he would not now be charged
with the omission of live notices at the late
luncheons.
"LOVE'S LULLABY" A SUCCESS
Belle Story, who is playing a long engage-
ment over the Orpheum time, is meeting with

rendition of "Love's Lullaby," the work of Theo.
