THAT just about now the courts are doing
good business in deciding who originated cer-
tain more or less popular melodies.
THAT we have yet to hear of a suit for
plagiarism being brought against a song that
proved a flivver.
THAT regarding the titles of two of the latest
contested numbers,, "The Livery Stable Blues"
and "The Barnyard Blues," there is not much
room for choice in an olfactory sense.
THAT the recent progress of the prohibition
movement makes more appropriate than ever
that little couplet: "Cheer up, little gin mill,
don't you cry, you'll be a drug store bye and
bye."
THAT the Commission on Training Camps Ac-
tivities has sent out a call for singers to lead
choruses in the training camps.
THAT there are a lot of singers around New
York who would rather sing than fight.
THAT Coleman Goetz, who for some time past
has been appearing in vaudeville, has joined the
staff of Leo Feist, Inc., and has already con-
tributed a new song to the catalog.
THAT with the draft law in full operation it
is interesting to see how some of these boy
song writers have grown up to manhood over
