SOCIETY PLANS STRONGER CAMPAIGN CANADIAN EDITION OF "OVER THERE"

Dorothy Jardon and Many Others Featuring
New Gilbert & Friedland Song
At a recent meeting of the American Society
of Authors, Composers and Publishers, plans
were laid and steps taken for carrying on a more
progressive campaign in the interests of the
society during the coming year. Despite strong
opposition the society has grown to a point
where it now holds contracts aggregating $86,000
for the public performance of the works con-
trolled by its members, and it is felt that means
can be found for increasing that income mate-
rially during 1918. The society plans among
other things a more efficient collection method.

WITMARK FAVORITES AT HERO LAND
A remarkable event was the song fest given
in the city recently at Hero Land, under the
able direction of Harry Barnhart. His Glee Club,
comprising men selected from among the boys
of the national army at Camp Upton, came down
specially from Yaphank and joined forces with
a number of voices from Mr. Barnhart's New
York Community Chorus. Every number on
the program was listened to with unbounded
enthusiasm. No less than three of the biggest
favorites proved to be from the catalog of M.
Witmark & Sons, namely, "Mother Machree,"
"There's a Long, Long Trail," and "Somewhere
In France Is the Lily." All of them were sung
superbly.
