REVIEW
MREVIEWflEARS
THAT "Poor Butterfly" from "The Big Show"
at the Hippodrome, is far and away the biggest
song hit of the present season.
THAT the royalties on the song from talking
machine records and music rolls alone repre-
sent a small fortune regardless of the income
from the sheet music sales.
THAT the coming of the "Jazz" bands serve to
give us some new music, for it is easily pos-
sible to write for the saxophone, banjo, bass
viol, etc.
THAT now, however, comes the "Jug" band
with negroes making "music" by blowing into
the mouths of various sized jugs.
THAT ambitious song writers will now prob-
ably have to empty jugs of Scotch so they can
get the proper keys.
THAT A. J. Stasny, of the A. J. Stasny Music
Co., has been spending the last ten days at the
company's branch office in Chicago.
THAT Joseph Santley is featuring the new
Shapiro, Bernstein & Co., Inc., production num-
ber, "The Scandal of the Flowers" in the "Betty"
show now on tour.

suing "Valse Maybelle" under one of the most
artistic title pages of the season, consisting of
colored pussy willows and bluebirds on the
wing.

of rare merit, the work of Edgar Allan Woolf
and Anatol Friedland, and presented by Louis

the end of this month. Two of the song hits
are "My Sweet Egyptian Rose" and "Silent
Sphinx." The music is published by Jos. W.
Stern & Co.
"CUTEY" TO BEJSSUED SHORTLY
"Cutey," the new instrumental number by Otto
Motzan, published by the Karczag Publishing
Co., will shortly be ready for distribution. The

not only its American title, but will be accom-
panied also by both the French and German
titles.
