REMICK PATRIOTIC SONG IN DEMAND CADMAN OPERA FOR METROPOLITAN
"So Long, Mother" Being Featured Through
the Medium of Window Displays in Various
Sections of the Country—A Chicago Window
The new J. H. Remick & Co.'s patriotic war
song, "So Long, Mother," is the best selling
number in the Remick catalog at the present
Window Display of Remick Song
time, and this despite the fact that Remick has
several popular numbers in the hit class. Many
striking window displays which have been
shown in sheet music and 10-cent stores
throughout the country prove that the dealers
have seen the value of featuring the song. In
Chicago, where the number is going especially
well, a number of such displays have been
shown. Herewith is reproduced one of the win-
dow displays recently .seen in that city, which
was contributed by the Woolworth Co. Besides
sjhowing many copies of "So Long, Mother" to
advantage another feature of the display con-
sists of a mother saying good-bye to her sol-
dier son, which attracted much attention and
proved a valuable medium for creating sales.

"The Robin Woman," Published by White-
Smith Co., Accepted for Production This Fall
—Jacobs' Successful Patriotic Numbers
BOSTON, MASS., September
24.—The
White-
Smith Co. is quite jubilant over the announce-
ment that a one-act opera of Charles Wakefield
Cadman, entitled "The Robin Woman," has been
accepted by the Metropolitan Opera Co. for
early production this fall. The opera was writ-
ten by Mr. Cadman during the summer. The
company states that Cadman's song "Love Like
the Dawn Comes Stealing" has gone into its
tenth edition, although it was only first put out
in July. Mrs. Ross, the Pacific Coast composer,
whose music is published by the White-Smith
Co., is soon to put out a cycle called "Art Songs
From Japan," these being based on real Japanese
melodies. Alma Gluck is especially interested
in the cycle and has promised to use the songs.
"The Battle Song of Liberty," which was put
out by Walter Jacobs a few months ago, is
making the most pronounced kind of a hit, and
the company is constantly getting letters from
regimental officers and band masters telling of
the popularity of the number.
"Columbia's
Call" is another piece with which Jacobs is
having great success. The Jacobs publications
are growing rapidly in circulation. There is
"The Tuneful Yankee," devoted to the inter-
ests of popular music; and "Jacobs' Band
Monthly," which has just opened a subscribers'
sanctum which is bound to be popular. In one
month's issue there are the queries, and in the
following month appear the answers. Jacobs'
Orchestra Monthly and The Cadenza run along
about the same.
GENE LUCAS MAKING GOOD
Jos. W. Stern & Co. seem to have discovered
a new song writer of exceptional ability in the
young pianist, Gene Lucas, who recently joined
their organization. This young composer has
turned out several songs and instrumental num-
bers, among them being "I Want to Be a
Melody," a song which promises to become quite
popular.
His new compositions will be an-
nounced in these columns shortly.

BAR PLUGGERS _FROM THEATRES
Local Association of Motion Picture Theatre
Owners Forbids Privileges of Houses to Em-
ployes of Society Members in Future
The local association of motion picture house
proprietors has sent to all its members and to
publishers of sheet music a notice to the effect
that no member of the organization will allow
song "pluggers," whose employers are members
of the American Society of Authors, Composers
and Publishers, to exploit their songs in the as-
sociation's houses. The move will serve to
abolish, temporarily at least, what are known as
song-writers' contests.
It is not expected that the publishers will be
hurt to any extent as the number of theatres
frequented by their pluggers is not over twenty-
five, whereas, under the conditions imposed by
the American Society of Authors, Composers
and Publishers, every theatre will be taxed ac-
cording to its seating capacity if the orchestra
or pianist plays the works controlled by the so-
ciety members.
