A CLEVER NEWTREM1CK NUMBER
"Some Sunday Morning" Has Already Won a
Distinct Share of Popularity
Jerome H. Remick & Co. have just issued to
the trade the new number, "Some Sunday Morn-
ing," which has been heard very extensively in
vaudeville and burlesque already this season.
The song has a very pleasing melody and clever
lyrics, and appears to have caught on at once.
"Some Sunday Morning" was written by Gus
Kahn, Raymond Egan and C. Whiting, who have
to their credit such successes as "Memories,"
"Mammy's Little Coal Black Rose," and others.
THAT despite the so-called lure of the classics
and the old-time songs, the votes for numbers
to go in song books for the soldiers run strongly
to the popular numbers of the type of "Where
Do We Go From Here," "Over There," "Poor
Butterfly," and even "Oh, Johnny."
THAT the same rule appears to hold good at
the various community "sings," being held in
New York and elsewhere.
THAT after several years a young lady in New
York has put in a claim to the authorship of
"Tipperary."
THAT one wonders what would have happened
to the claim if "Tipperary" had proven a failure.
THAT last Saturday, September 15, was the 103rd
anniversary of the writing of "The Star Span-
gled Banner," by Francis Scott Key.
THAT single copies of "national" songs written
to succeed it during the past century would, if
placed together, make a pile four feet square and
seventy-eight feet, three and two-thirds inches
high.
THAT we wonder how many patriotic songs
written to-day will be popular in 2020.
THAT the "Livery Stable Blues'' versus "The
Barnyard Blues" controversy has developed until
it now involves a prominent New York pub-
lisher.
THAT Jack Mills has become professional man-
ager of the McCarthy-Fisher Publishing Co.,
New York. He was formerly with the Broad-
way Music Corp.
THAT in "Melody Lane," featured in the Hip-
podrome Show, Raymond Hubbell has a number
that will most probably equal in popularity the
"Ladder of Roses" from "Hip! Hip! Hooray."
THAT Waterson, Berlin & Snyder have at least
a timely title in their latest song, "Over the
Top," by Bryan, Wendling and Wells.

DE GOGORZA SINGING MOTZAN'S SONG

Among the noted concert stars singing "That's

the verse and chorus of "The Battle Song of
Liberty," as follows:

Command by Regimental Chief With Ex-

"It's the roar an.l rattle of Freedom's battle
That's calling us over the sea.
Where a mighty foe has challenged us, boys,
It's up to you and to me.
So get Old Glory, we'll make 'em sorry
That they ever dreamed of this fight.
We're on our way with a Hip! Hooray!
Just to do what we know to be right."
Walter Jacobs' new march song, "The Battle
Song of Liberty," bids fair to become eminently
distinguished as a result of the manner in which
it has been accepted by Uncle Sam's fighting

"So Long, Mother" Not Only Featured in The-
atres But Is Selling Very Rapidly
"OUR DIRECTOR"
From the success that has already attended
the exploitation of Remick & Co.'s new patri-
otic song, "So Long, Mother," it looks as
though it would rank as one of the fastest sell-
ing numbers in the company's catalog for the
year, according to Jerome Keit, sales manager.
The song is by Raymond Egan and Gus Kahn,
with music by Egbert Van Alstyne, and has the
advantage of combining the ever popular mother
idea with the present patriotic spirit.

The contest for a new national anthem to suc-

held by the New York Globe and which closed

NEW CENTURY EDITION CAMPAIGN
Large Advertisements Now Being Inserted in
Ten Leading Magazines Beginning With Oc-
tober Issue—Many Helps for the Dealer
The fall advertising campaign of the Century
Music Publishing Co., New York, the plans for
which were announced some time ago, is now
already under way, and the first advertisement
for the new season appears in the October issue
of ten of the largest magazines, having an ag-
gregate circulation of something over 10,000,000.
Owing to the success of last year's campaign,
the company has prepared to carry on its work
of exploitation this year on a much larger scale.
Not only are new publications being used, but
the size of the advertisements has been mate-
rially increased, and special attention has been
given to their arrangement.
The Century Co. has long been noted for the
manner in which it co-operates with its dealers,
and this year it displays an even more generous
spirit, for in addition to the national publicity
which reverts directly to the benefit of every
Century dealer, there have also been provided
a special series of electrotype advertisements,
furnished to the dealer on request for use in his
local papers. There are also supplied attrac-
tive banners for use in the dealer's store, and
which call attention to the fact that he handles
Century Edition, and to add interest to the
campaign there has been inaugurated a dealers'
contest with Liberty Bonds as prizes.
A quarter-page advertisement of Century Edi-
tion appearing in the Ladies' Home Journal for
October, and which is out on Septerrrber 25, fur-
nishes an excellent idea of the company's plans
regarding publicity.

free of charge for men who desire positions
