HIS FIRST SONG A SUCCESS
Unique Record Made by Jos. McManus, Com-
poser of "Garden of Dreams/' Recently Pub-
lished by Hinds, Hayden & Eldredge
As a contrast to the stories we read con-
stantly of struggling composers having their
manuscripts returned by hard-hearted publishers
for years before finally achieving a success, the
case of Joseph McManus, the composer of "Gar-
den of Dreams," recently issued by Hinds, Hay-
high-class song of the age. It has a truly won-
derful melody and everyone who has heard it
has been enthusiastic about it. Even Mr. John
McCormack, who probably has more songs sub-
mitted for his consideration than any other
singer in the world, is quite enamored of it
and in accepting the dedication complimented
Mr. McManus quite highly on the song.
Incidentally, there is a little story in connec-
tion with Mr. McManus bringing his manu-
scripts East that illustrates perhaps plainer than
anything else the better feeling that exists among
publishers since the different associations have
been bringing the members of the music publish-
ing fraternity together. Mr. McManus came to
New York with letters of introduction from ar-
tists who happened to be using some of Hinds,
Hayden & Eldredge's songs and recommended
them to him as a publisher. This firm, after
accepting several of his numbers, and realizing
that many of the other songs were worthy of
publication, put the composer in touch with
several other publishers in the city with the
result that Boosey & Co. and M. Witmark &
Son have already accepted several songs. The
cover of "Garden of Dreams" is perhaps as good
an illustration as any of the confidence the
publishers have in this new composer. It is in
four colors, photographed from an original
painting by one of the best artists in New York
made especially for this song. A reproduction
of the title page of the song in miniature is
shown herewith.
"THE STAR GAZER;' IN NEW YORK
Title Page of "Garden of Dreams"
New Operetta With Music by Franz Lehar
Presented at Plymouth Theatre
den & Eldredge, is interesting. Mr. McManus
is a native of Los Angeles, California, and while
he has been writing music for several years, his
first number to be submitted to an Eastern
publisher is "Garden of Dreams." If this is a
sample of what Mr. McManus can do the music
world had better be prepared to welcome an-
other genius, for according to J. T. Roach, man-
ager of Hinds, Hayden & Eldredge, "Garden of
Dreams" is destined to become the most popular
"The Star Gazer," a new three-act comedy,
with music by Franz Lehar, was presented in
New York for the first time on Thursday eve-
ning of this week at the Plymouth Theatre.
The piece, for which Cosmo Hamilton wrote
the book, and M. C. Woodward the music, was
well received out of town, and appeared to make
a very favorable impression with the New York
audience.

USING FEIST NAME TO DEFRAUD
Man Working Jersey Towns on a New and
Shady Music Roll Proposition
A man claiming to be a representative of Leo
Feist, Inc., the well-known publishers of popu-
lar music, is appearing in near-by New Jersey
territory soliciting orders from owners of
player-pianos for music rolls containing .Feist
songs. This man, who is not connected with
the Feist house in any capacity, carries samples
of well-known music rolls and if he can per-
suade owners of player-pianos to order from
him he demands a deposit of 52 cents which
presumably he keeps without giving any return.
Recently he called at the home of A. Blan-
chard, assistant general manager of the Inter-
national Arms & Fuse Co., of Bloomfield, N. J.,
who very shortly thereafter notified the Feist
firm of his suspicions regarding the man.
This solicitor is described as a very slight
man, wearing a brown suit.
When holding
up his hand to take a note book from his
pocket his hand falls forward as if paralyzed.
