SONGS OF THE FIGHTING MEN
Leo Feist, Inc., Issue Attractive Little Volume
of Songs the Soldiers and Sailors Sing
THAT "There'll Be a Hot Time For the Old
Men, While the Young Men Arc Away," the
particularly timely new Feist song, is proving
a decided hit and is being featured in Joe Mur-
tig's big burlesque "Hello America" and by a
number of vaudeville artists.
THAT George VV. Meyer's appearance in vaude-
ville with Artie Mehlinger is more like an ail
than a vaudeville act.
THAT these song writers do get away with
murder these times.
THAT by the grace of Gaffield there are eight-
een working days in February. Now dig, you
salesmen, dig!
THAT these workless Mondays with nothing
much to occupy the mind should prove a great
stimulant to music buying.
THAT there are still rumblings of new copy-
right legislation to be heard which should
prompt the publishers to be on their guard.
THAT some of the so-called war songs should
be translated into German so that the Kaiser can
read what's going to happen to him.
THAT if patriotic songs alone would win the
the war, we have enough on hand to insure
peace until the millennium.

"OH, LADY! LADY!!" A HIT
Those two finished singers, the Misses Nellie
and Sara Kouns, have recently added to their
attractive repertoire the international song hit,
"There's a Long, Long Trail." They are singing
it over the Orpheum Circuit, and so great is
their success with it that they intend to retain
it as a feature number for the balance of the
season. Soon there will be few in any singing
acts that have not or are not using this number
from M. Witmark & Sons' catalog.

THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
FEBRUARY 9, 1918
The moit compute oollectlon of National and
Patriotic Songa ever published—Includes the
National Song of every Nation in the world
"Oh, Lady! Lady!" a now musical comedy of
the "Oh, Boy!" typo, opened at the Princess
Theatre last week, and scored an immediate
success. The book, by (luy Bolton and I', (i.
Wodehouse, is novel and interesting-, and the
lines and lyrics are bright and well written. The
music, by Jerome Kern, is distinctly characteris-
tic of that composer, and ranges from the gay
to the sentimental, but at all times is pleasing.
There arc several numbers that stand out from
the balance of the score sufficiently to insure
them a hearing outside of the play itself. The
score is published by the T. B. Harms Co.
SINGS SOLMAN'S NEW BALLAD
J. Lester Haberkorn, who is a big favorite
with O'Brien's Minstrels, has just added Alfred
Solman's new ballad, "Absence Brings You
Nearer to My Heart," to the attractive program
offered by that organization. Needless to say,
Haberkorn's rendering does full justice to this
beautiful number, which is published by M.
Witmark & Sons.
