THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
4,000,000!
Copies of
"Century Edition"
were sold in 1916!
Best music procurable—plus
national advertising— plus
dealers* co-operation—
were three great factors that
made "Century's" year a record
breaker!
It's a mighty interesting prop-
osition.

Increasing Business Serves to Give Millegram
Publishing Co. Unusual Distinction
The Carl Millegram Publishing Co., Inc.,
have what is said to be the only roof garden
professional studios in the music publishing
world. The offices of the company, which are
on the top floor of 25 West Forty-fifth street,
proved inadequate to the demands, so Chas.
Miller, head of the company, acquired the roof
to be used as studios. Not only is there fresh
air and sunshine, but also a stage has been
provided, making it one of the most inviting
professional departments in the city. Bob Rus-
sak, formerly with the Broadway Music Corp.,
is in charge of the professional department.

Geo. L. Weitz Receiving Many Favorable Com-
ments on Musical Setting Composed for
"America"—Number Proving Very Popular
The American National Hymn, the music of
which was written by Geo. L. Weitz, and which
was recently announced in The Review, has
been enthusiastically endorsed by all those who
have heard it.
Mr. Weitz is in receipt of a
large number of congratulatory letters from his
many friends in the trade.
The present music to which "My Country,
'Tis of Thee," is sung is also used by the Eng-
lish for "God Save the King," and by the Ger-
mans for other words. It was Mr. Weitz's idea
to produce a dignified musical setting to these
words that would be entirely American in its
origin.
He has well succeeded in the work
that he has published, for it is an excellent piece
of music with a prelude, and is the kind of
music that lasts, and is in no sense a momen-
tary flash. As to the "American-ness" of the
author, all those who know Mr. Weitz in the
trade know of his fine patriotism.
The idea
of an entirely American national anthem is not
new with Mr. Weitz, but is a subject upon
which he has worked for the past two years.
A SUCCESSFUL^COON SONG
The Win. Jerome Publishing Corp. have one
of the best Southern coon songs released in
some time in their late addition to their catalog
entitled "Cotton Pickin' Time in Alabam'," the
work of Daly and Cool. Numerous profes-
sional singers are using the number to close
their acts, which speaks well for the song.

Chas. K. Harris Accepts New Patriotic Num-

Chas. K. Harris, who accepted the song from
the pens of Gus Van and Joe Schenck entitled
"Miss America" and who delayed publishing the
same until a demand had been created for the
song will release the number in the next ten
days.
The song, which is now being sung by its
authors, has been well received, and dealers are
writing in asking for the number. It is of a
patriotic order and very appropriate in these
stirring times.

Professional Department of That Concern
Big Supply Demanded by Bands Now in Train-

Music for University of Wisconsin Song
Jack Glogau, the well-known composer, who
was for seven years with Leo Feist, Inc., and
more recently was connected with T. B. Harms

Piantadosi, Inc., and will, in the future, have
John Philip Sousa, the noted band master,
now lieutenant in the navy and charged with
the task of organizing bands at the Great Lakes
naval training station in Chicago, has been in
New York during the week for the avowed
purpose of assembling a carload of music for
the use of such bands.
He explained that a carload was "not so
much" when it was understood that each tune
will be represented by vocal copies, piano
copies, conductor's copies, and "part" music
for each of the fifty instruments in the four
bands to be formed.
"I am going to test the patriotism of every
music publisher in the East with a good tune
on his shelves," he said, "by asking them all
to contribute the music to the boys at Great
Lakes."
While in the West he wrote the music and
Berton Braley the words for a new song for
the University of Wisconsin entitled "Wiscon-
sin Forward Forever."

that concern. Mr. Glogau brings to the organ-
ization long experience in handling professional
departments as well as an abundance of energy
and spirit. Among the first of the early re-
leases of the Al. Piantadosi concern will be
three new songs from the pens of Jack Glogau
and Jack Yellen entitled "You Can't Tell the
Mother From the Daughter," "There's Nothing
Too Good for the Irish," and "Why Did You
Make Me Fall in Love With You," and these,
together with the successes "In Lilac Time,"
"There's a Vacant Chair in My Old Southern
Home," and "If You Had All the World and
Its Gold," gives Mr. Glogau plenty of material.

Arthur Green and William Jerome have writ-
ten one of the most successful patriotic songs
released since the declaration of war. The
number is entitled "It Must Be the Spirit of
76." The song is becoming quite popular, and
a heavy demand is being made for it by sheet
music stores. The title page is very appro-
priate and contains a reproduction of George
Washington set in the center of the page while
just below on either side appear a soldier and
sailor. Howard & Clark are featuring the
number very successfully in their new vaude-
ville revue.
MOTZAN FINISHING OPERETTA
Well-Known Composer Promises Some Musi-
cal Surprises in His New Work
Otto Motzan, the well-known composer who
has such numbers to his credit as "Cutey," "It's
a Pipp'n," "A Tear, a Kiss, a Smile" and "That's
Why My Heart is Calling You," as well as the
music of a number of musical shows, is just fin-
ishing a new operetta with a book by Irving
Sanders, one of the best known European writ-
ers. The operetta is in an entirely new style
never before attempted in this country and will
bring to the American stage some original ideas
as far as musical shows go.
