231-235 West 40th Street NEW YORK
The Greater New York Music Publishers' and
Dealers' Association at a recent meeting decided
to postpone their regular spring dinner, which,
according to the organization's constitution,
should be held on the third Tuesday in May,
until the National Association of Sheet Music
Dealers meets in New York, at which time an
outing has been arranged when all of the visiting
dealers will be invited to attend. The outing
will be held at Holly Arms, Hollis, L. I., prob-
ably on June 12, as it is felt that the date will
not conflict with any of the scheduled meetings
of the visiting dealers.
THE MEMPHIS BLUES BAND
The Memphis Blues Band, Inc., has been re-
cently organized for the purpose, of conducting
concert tours. W. C. Handy is president of the
organization and will conduct the concerts joint-
ly with Fred M. Bryan. W. C. Handy is the
well-known author of "Memphis Blues," and is
also the head of the firm of Pace & Handy Music
Pub. Co., Inc.
A. J. STASNY ON WESTERN TRIP
'LADY IN RED" OPENS
New Musical Comedy Given Splendid Reception
at Its Premier
"The Lady in Re book, and lyrics by Anne Caldwell, and music
by Robert Winterberg, opened at the Lyric
Theatre on Monday evening of this week. The
show has just closed a very successful road
tour, and the reception at its New York pre-
mier bids fair for it to stay on Broadway for
some time.
Franklyn Ardell and Adele Rowland are the
stars of the piece, supported by an exceptionally
good cast. There are several promising mu-
sical numbers, among these being "Play Me a
Tune," "China Dragon Blues," "Something
About Love," "Beautiful Lady in Red" and
"Some Wonderful Sort of Some One." T. B.
Harms & Francis, Day & Hunter publish the
score.
NEW STASNY NUMBER
"Girl of Mine" is the title of a new song re-
cently purchased by the A. J. Stasny Music Co.,
Inc. It is now being rushed to the printers and
has been given a new title page.
McKinley's New Song Success
GREATEST "JAZZ" SONG EVER PUBLISHED
A. J. Stasny, head of the A. J. Stasny Music
Co., left on Monday of this week on a Western
trip. His plans call for visits to the trade in all
the larger centers of the Middle West, including
Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Minne-
apolis and other points.
Miss Ethel Broaker, manager of the New York
offices of Daniels & Wilson, Inc., of New York
and San Francisco, has personally undertaken a
campaign among the leading orchestra leaders
and is featuring "Rose of Romany," "Yearning"
and "Sunshine," all of which are proving very
successful. The Victor Talking Machine Co.
has recorded both "Yearning" and "Rose of
Romany."

'JIMMIE" EUROPE DEAD
Bandmaster of the Fifteenth Infantry Band
Killed in Boston
Lieutenant James Reese Europe, familiarly
known as "Jimmie" Europe, who during the past
eighteen months has received much publicity as
the leader of the famous New York Fifteenth In-
fantry Band (Colored), was killed by a member
of his organization in his dressing room in Me-
chanics' Hall, Boston, on Friday night of last
week. Europe was originally a native of Ala-
bama, and first appeared in the limelight as a
jazz exponent through his connections with the
Castles. At the outbreak of the war he was ap-
pointed bandmaster of the Fifteenth Infantry
Band with the rank of lieutenant. His organ-
ization soon became noted, for their reputation
as entertainers was second to none. Not only
were they in demand by our American forces,
but they were also hailed by the French as a
wonderful organization.
Recently the organ-
ization went on tour and they had anticipated
many prosperous seasons.

is very tuneful and is issued in instrumental
form as a one-step. It has been given a very
attractive title page, and many dealers are giv-
ing it feature positions in their display spaces.
The publishers are giving this song much pub-
licity and it is finding favor among vaudeville
singers. The orchestras, too, are using it fre-
que-ntly as a dance selection, and from all pres-
ent indications it should be one of the leading
numbers of the Stern catalog.
