CONDUCTED BY B. B. WILSON
"A LITTLE BIRCH CANOE AND YOU'
Remick & Co. Secure Publishing Rights to Lee
Roberts' Successful Number
J. H. Remick & Co. are the publishers of a new
song a.nd instrumental number entitled "A Little
Birch Canoe and You." This number is from
the pen of Lee S. Roberts, author of "Smiles,"
and has during the past few months had a phe-
nomenal sale in music roll form. It is a num-
ber of exceptional originality and makes one of
the best waltzes issued in some time. J. H.
Remick & Co. will probably make a big cam-
paign on the number early this fall, and in the
meantime it is going ahead and making itself
quite popular as the demands in sheet music and
music roll form show.
PRIVATE WM. J. HART KILLED
Fell, or Jumped, Out of Apartment Window
After Leaving Camp Without Permission
William J. Hart, the song writer, and author
of the popular song "When Yankee Doodle
Learns to Parlez Vous Francais," who was a
private in the Fifty-first Pioneer Regiment at
Camp Merritt, fell, or jumped, out of a fifth
story window of an uptown apartment one night
last week while endeavoring to evade officers
sent to bring him back to camp. It appears
that Hart had left camp without permission in
order to see his wife, and the officers had traced
him to a New York apartment. When he heard
their voices at the door he went through to the
rear window and plunged to the yard, being
killed instantly. He was twenty-four years old
NEW MARINE "VICTORY" SONG
"Victory" is the title of a new patriotic song
published by Waterson, Berlin & Snyder, the
work of Ben Bard, Jack Wilson and M. K.
Jerome. The number has a very attractive title
page, depicting a victorious Marine holding the
Marines' standard.

PRAISE FOR FEIST WAR EDITION
NEW HIPPODROME SHOW SOON
Jobbers and Dealers Enthusiastic Over Possi-
bilities of New Sheet Music Size
Music by Many Leading Composers Will Be
Feature of the New Production "Everything"
The new size popular sheet music, published
by Leo Feist, Inc., and which they announced
last week as the war edition, is seemingly meet-
ing the approval of the entire trade. The Feist
mail is filled with letters from dealers who are
congratulating them on the move.
The jobbers throughout the country have
practically all said that the new style will meet
the approval of the trade, and, as they are in a
position to know, their opinion is very gratify-
ing to the Feist house, who, while they have
not the least doubt of the success of the new
edition, naturally welcome all the co-operation
obtainable from the trade in putting it over
without delay.
The following is a telegram received by E. F.
Bitner, of the Feist firm, from F. J. A. Forster,
the prominent jobber of Chicago:
"Feist war edition received. You are a wonder
and deserve congratulations and a vote of thanks
from everyone in the music business. Hope I
am among the first to congratulate. We are
with you to the limit."
Maurice Richmond, manager of the Enterprise
Music Supply Co., in speaking of the new war
edition said: "As a commercial proposition it
is a winner, as the public will accept it at once.
The size, which really can be described as a
pocket edition, will be welcomed for the reason
that it will avoid the carrying of a bulky pack-
age. From the dealers' standpoint the great
saving of express charges alone will make it
popular and as they will be enabled to make 50
per cent, greater display of numbers with ad-
justment of their bins together with the other
points in favor of the new size, it is a success
from their view."
Thomas Moore, of the Crown Music Co.,
states the trade has accepted the new style
without question. The fact that the numbers
are all big sellers, of course, and in demand has
helped to put the new style over.
The Plaza Music Co., one of the largest New
York jobbing houses, also state the new edition
seems to be meeting the approval of the trade.
The following is an idea sent to Leo Feist.
Inc., by a dealer who was enthusiastic over the
new edition: "Just because for years you pulled
your shirt over your head instead of putting
it on as you do your coat, is no reason why
sheet music should Continue being printed in
the old style way, when Feist's war edition is
so much more convenient and practical. Be-
sides it saves paper for Uncle Sam."
The next production at the Hippodrome, it is
announced, will be entitled "Everything," aii'i
will, of course, be under the management of
Charles Dillingham. The new show, which will
be divided into three acts of fourteen scenes,
will be .by R. H. Burnside, who has been re-
sponsible for other Hippodrome successes, and
will be presented late in August. The music-
will be prepared by a notable array of com-
posers, including John Philip Sousa, Irving
Berlin, John L. Golden, William Jerome, Harry
Tierney, Percy Wenrich and Raymond Hub-
bell, and a big proportion of it will be patriotic
in character, in keeping with the entertainment.
The cast will include DeWolf Hopper, Houdini,
Charles Aldrich, Belle Story, Bert Levy, the
artist, Tom Brown's Clown Band, and a notable
gathering of dancers.
ENTER MUSIC PUBLISHING FIELD
Thoma & Son, Fairfield, la., a concern well
known in the music world, has opened a music
