BIO SEASON FOJ^CHAS. K. HARRIS
MONACO SIGNSJVITH WITMARK
Weil-Known Music Publisher Now Has Many
Very Successful Numbers in His Catalog—
Has Song in New Production "Miss 1917"
Weil-Known Composer Places Three New
Songs With That House, All of Which Will
Be Featured Strongly During the Season
This season has been a big one for Chas. K.
Harris and his songs. A long list of stars is
featuring his numbers or numbers published by
him. At the recent opening of "Miss 1917" at
the Century Theatre one of the song hits of the
evening was Van & Schenck's "I Miss the Old
Folks Now," a number which should have great
popularity.
Eddie Leonard, the famous black-face dancer
and singing comedian, is having wonderful suc-
cess with his new song, "Sweetness" (Honey
Suckle of Mine). This is also published by Chas.
K. Harris.
Lucille Cavanagh, the popular dancer, who is
featuring Mr. Harris' "Dry Your Tears" waltz,
is still adding to the success she scored at her
initial performances this season at the Palace
Theatre.
Other numbers published by Chas. K. Harris
which are fighting for honors in the Harris cata-
log include "Love o' Mine," "You Kissed Me''
(and said Goodbye), "Kathleen, My Rose," "I'll
See You Later, Yankee Land," "Yankee, He's
There, All There," and "Scratchin' the Gravel."
Of course, as usual, "Break the News to Mother"
still holds its place in the hearts of the public.
James V. Monaco, the well-known composer,
has joined the writing staff of M. Witmark &
Sons.
"Jimmy" Monaco, as he is better
known, has given his new publishers three new
songs, all, according to reports, the equal of
anything he ever wrote. The numbers are en-
TO FEATURE "BLUE BIRD" SONG
New Waterson, Berlin & Snyder Hit to Be
Prominently Displayed Next Week
During the week of November 19, "Blue Bird,
Bring Back My Happiness" will be featured
in almost every cafe, cabaret and moving pic-
ture house, as well as in the majority of the
vaudeville theatres in Greater New York. Be-
sides the above all the sheet music stores and
departments will display it on their counters and
hold public demonstrations, featuring this song
hit. Thousands of artistic cut-outs have been
sent to the dealers and these will be hung in
conspicuous places. The number is announced
as "Broadway's big waltz song hit," and as the
majority of the Broadway orchestras have it
on their programs and frequently render it the
above does not seem to be a mere boast. Of
news to the trade is the fact that this song was
formerly in the high-class catalog of Waterson,
Berlin & Snyder, and it is only recently that it
was placed among the ten-cent numbers. Belle
Story originally introduced "Blue Bird, Bring
Back My Happ ness," and with good success.
Geo. Graff, Jr., is responsible for the words
and F. Bernard Grant for the music.
HAVE A GREAT BEEFSTEAK
James V. Monaco
titled "After a Thousand Years," described as
an oriental ballad, with lyrics by Al Dubin; "I'm
Going to Follow the Boys," which has an espe-
cially appealing melody, and "The Dream of a
Soldier Boy," one of the most timely numbers
issued this season. This latter also has for its
co-author Al Dubin. In the past Monaco has
written the music for such numbers as "You
Made Me Love You," "Row, Row, Row,"
"What Do You Want to Make Those Eyes at
FRED J. SMITH VISITS METROPOLIS Me For?" "You're a Doggone Dangerous Girl,"
"Pigeon Walk" and others equally as popular.
