"TELL THAT TO THE MARINES'
Two Prominent Publishers Announce Songs of
That Title Based on the Weil-Known Marine
Corps Poster—Waiting for Results
Inspiration is a wonderful thing. Proof is
found in the fact that two sets of song writers
were apparently impressed with the same idea
at about the same time, with the result that
both M. Witmark & Sons, and the Waterson,
Berlin & Snyder Co. have announced songs
bearing the title, "Tell That to the Marines."
The Witmark song has words by Sergt. B. S.
Barron, U. S. N., and music by Gus Edwards,
together with the title page reproducing the
well-known marine poster. The W., B. & S.
song is by Al Jolson, Harold Atteridge and
Jean Schwartz, and is being featured by Al
Jolson in "Sinbad" and Frank Carter in the
"Follies." Coming events are awaited with in-
terest.
LIZA LEHMANN, COMPOSER, DEAD
Noted Woman Composer Passes Away in Lon-
don in Fiftieth Year
Liza Lehniann, the song writer, is dead at
her home in London, according to word received
here. She was a daughter of Rudolph Lehmann,
the artist, and granddaughter on her mother's
side of Robert Chambers, the Edinburgh pub-
lisher. Born in 1868, she studied music in Rome
and Wiesbaden, appeared as a soprano singer
for nine years, and in 1894 was married to Her-
bert Bedford. The following year her famous
song cycle, "In a Persian Garden," after Fitz-
Gerald's verses from Omar Khayyam, was first
sung in London by Mine. Albani, Hilda Wilson,
Ben Davies and David Bispham. She also
composed "The Daisy Chain." songs from
"Alice in Wonderland," a light opera, "The
Vicar of Wakefield," and a musical comedy,
"Sergeant Brue," as well as Shakespearean songs,
piano pieces and incidental music for plays.

PRAISE FOR McKlNLEY SONG FOLIO
PAULL MARCH POPULAR
Government Official Writes Interesting Letter
Endorsing the "Army and Navy Song Folio,"
Published by the William McKinley Music Co.
"Pershing's Crusaders" Meeting With a Very
Pleasing Demand
Kmmett J. Scott, for years private secretary
to the late Booker T. Washington, and now spe-
cial assistant in the office of the Secretary of
War, Washington, D. C, has just sent a letter
to William McKinley, of the McKinley Music
Co., speaking highly of the "Army and Navy
Song Folio," issued by the McKinley concern.
The letter reads as follows:
"War Department, Washington.
"October 3, 1918.
"Mr. William McKinley:
"My dear Sir—I wish to thank you most
heartily for your kindness in sending me a copy
of your 'Army and Navy Song Folio.' The
collection is of the highest quality artistically,
and I am sure the 'boys' overseas will be greatly
inspired by the singing of the patriotic melodies
included therein. You are rendering in this way
a service that merits the warmest commenda-
tion at the hands of the nation and our people
everywhere.
"The boys over there will send up 5,000
prayers for you for the copies you are sending
them. With best wishes for your continued suc-
cess, I am, very truly yours,
"EMMETT J. SCOTT."
The song folio referred to has had a wide dis-
tribution among the boys in the military and
naval forces, many thousands of copies having
been distributed to them through the generosity
of Mr. McKinley. Dealers in all sections of
the country are experiencing an excellent de-
mand for these folios, as they make most ap-
propriate gifts for soldiers and sailors over here
and also over there. The volume contains
words and music of a carefully selected list of
songs, popular, patriotic and folk, and is doing
its little bit in a most important way to help
maintain the morale of the men in the service
aa well as the folks at home.
LIVE PIANTADOSI NUMBER
"Oh, Moon of the Summer's Night" is prov-
ing one of the best numbers in the catalog of
Al Piantadosi & Co., Inc. Many leading vaude-
ville singers are using the song, and according
to reports in the trade it has promise of having
a very large sale. Allan FJynn is the author
of the number.
John Vogler, of the star? of Boosey & Co.,
has been called to the colors and will be sta-
tioned at Fort Hancock, N. J.
The E. T. Paull Music Co. recently received a
letter from Willis McGee & Co., music dealers
of Potsdam, N. Y., in which was enclosed a large
order for E. T. Paull's new march, "Pershing's
Crusaders." They stated that after displaying
their initial order of ten copies on their counter
they were sold within two hours. Other let-
ters recently received by the company seem to
show that no other number published by E. T.
I'aull has had such a favorable reception in so
short a space of time.
McCORMACK TO FEATURE SONG
Boosey & Co. to Publish American Edition of
"I Shall Meet You" •
"I Shall Meet You" (The Home Coming), a
song which has been very popular in England,
is being published in an American edition by
lioosey & Co. While the number is distinctly
high class both the poem and melody should
have a popular appeal. It will shortly be in-
troduced by John McCormack, at the continu-
ation of his concert tour. . The words are by
E. M. Chesham and Wilfred Sanderson, who is
responsible for so many successes, is the com-
poser.
