GETS ORDERS IN THE SOUTH
THREE LIVE WITMARK NUMBERS
Harold Flammer, head of Harold Flammer,
Inc., returned to New York late last week after
a visit to the trade in Washington, D. C, and ad-
jacent territory. Mr. Flammer found the trade in
that territory in a flourishing condition and the
result was he returned with some nice orders.
TWO SONGS BY BRUNO HUHN
M. Witmark & Sons appear to be having much
success with their song, "The Gates of Gladness."
This, with Ernest Ball's "Dear Little Boy of
Mine," and "Give Me the Sultan's Harem," a nov-
elty number, appear to be leading the Witmark
catalog at the present time both from the stand-
point of popularity and sales as well.
Wolfe Gilbert and Irving Berlin have recently
both been filling vaudeville engagements in the
New York theatres. Some time ago at Loew's
Avenue B Theatre they appeared upon the same
bill. These two successful writers attracted

BISPHAM AS AN AUTHOR
Bruno Huhn is composer of two sacred songs,
David Bispham is the author of "A Quaker
"Lo, This Is Our God," issued by the Boston
Music Co., and "The Promised Land," by Dit- Singer's Recollections," which the Macmillan Co.
has announced for publication this Fall.
D E L O W is an exact reproduction from the "Florist Exchange," official
publication of the American Florists' Association, of their report on
the reception and ball held in Detroit in August.
"The big feature of the evening in which all the 1500 guests took part, was the
singing of "Say It With Flowers" a song of which the words were written by Mrs.
F. H. Traendly and Mrs. C. Schenck and the music by Ed. Nelson and Harry Pease.
This was rendered with a vigor and enthusiasm which suggested that the song will be
accepted as the song of the Society. Congratulations and thanks are due the ladies
who are responsible for it."
"SAY IT WITH FLOWERS"
WORDS BY TRAENDLY & SCHENCK
MUSIC BY NELSON & PEASE
In a garden so fair, with it's fragrance so rare,
I watched the sweet flowers grow;
Thinking of someone, some certain someone,
A somecne that I love so;
As I wandered along en my way,
I seemed to hear each flower say—
When the wedding bells chime and the
world seems to rhyme,
And true love is all in bloom.
Beautiful flowers from nature's bowers,
Are worn by the bride and groom,
As they journey along life's sweet way,
Each flower they see seems to ray—
Refrain
Say it with flowers, beautiful flowers,
Secrets of love they'll reveal;
Bring her sweet roses or violets blue;
Orchids, carnations, or pansies will do.
In gloomy hours, sweet scented flowers
Changes that darkness to light,
So fay it with flowers, beaut'ful flowers.
And make someone happy to-night.
'STARLIGHT LOVE" A FAVORITE
New Witmark & Sons Waltz Proving to Be a
Most Effective Number Everywhere
One of the most-sung and widely-played waltz
songs of the day is "Starlight Love," by Lucien
Denni, published by M. Witmark & Sons. It is
a great drawing card in vaudeville, besides hav-
ing developed within a very short time into what
is known as "a waltz the orchestra leaders every-
where are raving about."

Back to Mother's Knee."
Phyle—"Humph, same old idea!"
"But there will always be songs praising
mother."
"I didn't think of this one as praising mother;
I thought it was taking another slap at the short
skirts the girls wear nowadays."
