Here's a song that will make
you laugh — although it's about
a wounded soldier. He was
harder hit by his nurse's smile
than by the German bullet—and
in a far more vulnerable spot.
A syncopated melody that won't
let your feet k e e p still. By
Johnson, Pease, and Jentes.
"We'll sing 'Yankee Doodle'under
the Linden with some real live
Yankee pep!" That's the real
"do or die" spirit of this up-to-
the-minute war-song hit. Better
than "Tipperary" because it goes
straight to the point. The music
gets there, too — gets to your
heart and your feet. By Arthur
Fields and Leon Flatow.

The Kresge five and ten-cent store on State
street in Chicago created a sensation a few
months ago by giving an order to Leo Feist,
Inc., for 15,000 copies of "Hawaiian Butterfly"
before it was published. Recently they broke
that record by ordering 20,000 copies of "I Don't

"We Should Worry," another of the season's
new musical comedies, opened in Atlantic City
on Thursday of last week. The piece was pre-
sented by Elizabeth Marbury and Frederick Mc-
Kay, and is a three-act musical version of Hoyt's
famous "A Texas Steer." Among those who
saw the opening were Miss Marbury, Mr. Mc-
Kay, Lee Shubert and Jay Witmark, of M.

The Feist song success, "Where Do We Go
From Here," Boys," has been interpolated in
"Cheer 2" in the big Hippodrome production,
"Cheer Up," and is sung with great gusto by
the hundred or more hoboes who pile out of
the freight car in that scene and gather about
Nat Wills for a bit of harmony. "Where Do
We Go From Here, Boys," is featured as the
grand finale and the volume of sound emanating
from the throats of the "boes" when they reach
the final line, "Oh boy, oh joy, where do we
go from here," is wonderful to hear.

E. B. MARKS OUTJFOR MITCHEL

politician. He is taking an active part in the
campaign for the re-election of Mayor Mitchel
of New York. Mr. Marks is on the committee
which is interesting the music publishers and
dealers as well as the whole theatrical world in
Mitchel's candidacy.

"We Should Worry." The consensus of opin-
ion of those who witnessed the opening was that
the piece was indubitably a success. To Henry
Blossom belongs the credit for a very inter-
esting book and some capital lyrics. The six-
teen musical numbers by A. Baldwin Sloane
comprise so many real hits it is difficult to de-
cide which should come first. Perhaps spe-
cial emphasis should be put on such numbers
as "I Am a Love Star Girl," "It's Not the Uni-
form That Makes the Man," "Good-bye, Dear
Heart," "We Should Worry, Uncle Sam" and
"A Cup of Tea." "We Should Worry" will
open in New York the middle of November.
