It's a mighty interesting proposition.

He will spend his time in the Adirondacks in
an effort to "shoot trout."
THAT Harry Hanbury, who was formerly with
the Gus Edwards Music Publishing Co., is now
representing the Carl Millegram Publishing Co.,
Inc., in Atlantic City, N. J.
THAT the efforts of the music publishers to
create new patriotic song hits continues un-
abated.
THAT the above holds true despite the fact that
the publishers are continually telling composers
the market is swamped.
THAT it is true that there have been almost
a half million patriotic songs written in the
last few months, but that does not deter the
writers of the successor to the "Star Spangled
Banner" from presenting their numbers for pub-
lication.
THAT it has got so that the publishers are
afraid to refuse to publish a number for fear
they will miss a "Tipperary."
THAT, with the draft coming on we do not hear
quite much about the "boy composers."
THAT, however, the list of those members of
the music publishing trade who are doing their
bit with the army or navy as volunteers would
prove a long one.

BASKETTE WRITES NEW NUMBER
"Please Don't Go" to Be Published by A. J.

Billy Baskette, the writer of the music of
"Hawaiian Butterfly," which was and is such
a sensational seller, and the big patriotic num-
ber "Good-bye Broadway, Hello France," which
is acclaimed the successor to "Tipperary" by
some of the leading journals of the country, has
written a new song entitled "Please Don't Go,"
which is said to be another "Don't Leave Me,
Daddy." The song is being rushed through
the printers, and will shortly be released. Al-
ready one music roll company is making a rec-
ord of it from the manuscript. The number
is being published by the A. J. Stasny Music
Co., which gave the author $1,000 in advance
royalties. The song will be issued in an ex-
ceptionally striking title page, and according to
the publishers will attract almost as much at-
tention as the song itself.
Grace La Rue, the well-known musical com-
edy star, has introduced Silvio Hein's charming
instrumental number, "Bubbles," in song form
in "Hitchy Koo," now playing at one of the
leading New York theatres. The number is
published by the Carl Millegram Publishing
Co., Inc.

Chas. J. Orth of Milwaukee Responsible for
Music of "Unfurl Old Glory"
BIG SUMMER FOR^HARRIS" BALLADS
MILWAUKEK, Wis., July 16.—Charles J. Orth,
one of the leading piano dealers of this city,
has budded anew as a composer by writing a
stirring patriotic song entitled "Unfurl Old
Glory." Mr. Orth is known as the composer of
the descriptive piece, "In a Clock Store."
"Unfurl Old Glory" is the creation of two
well-known Milwaukee people of German de-
scent. The words were written by A. L. Baer,
a prominent musician. The words and music
have been copyrighted and were given their
first public presentation in Milwaukee and else-
where on July 4.
Chas. K. Harris is reaping a harvest this sum-
mer, all his ballads and novelty songs being
in great demand, owing to the fact that they
are all being sung extensively by "top-liners"
of the vaudeville profession—such as: "Break
the News to Mother," which heads the list,
followed closely by "Thou Shalt Not Steal" (a
Heart Away), "My Little China Doll," "At the
Hula Hula Ball," "It's a Long, Long.Time Since
I've Been Home," "Songs of Yesterday," "Love
Me All the Time," "Love Me Little, Love Me
Long" and "A Study in Black and White."
