FEATURING "BEAUTIFUL NIGHTS"
NEW SONGS IN VAUDEVILLE
SCHIRMER HOUSE ORGAN REAPPEARS
Many Orchestras Now Using Chas. K. Harris'
Publication—Other Strong Numbers
Singing Acts Using Popular Hits From Cata-
log of M. Witmark & Sons
One thousand orchestras are playing "Beau-
tiful Nights," a new waltz published by Chas.
K. Harris. While this is only the initial re-
sponse to the many orchestrations sent out by
the above firm the campaign now in force among
the orchestra leaders contemplates having at
least ten thousand orchestras throughout the
country featuring the number. Several of the
leaders in vaudeville are singing "Beautiful
Nights" with success. These include Ida Brooks
Hunt and Lillian Herlein.
In forwarding "Beautiful Nights" to the trade
Chas. K. Harris is guaranteeing the sale, "show-
ing that he has much faith in the merits of the
composition.
Other numbers in the Harris catalog which
are at present filling a heavy demand are "Ching-
A-Ling," a romantic Chinese love song; Joe
Howard's latest child's song lullaby, "Look Out
for the Big Banshee"; "Come On to That Creole
Dance," one of the song successes in the Win-
ter Garden show; Emma Carus's song successes,
"Oh, How She Can Dance," "My Wedding
Day" and "Everybody' Loves the Irish," and the
Chas. K. Harris ballads, "Sing Me to Sleep
With a Chinese Lullaby," "Smiling Lips" and
"When the Lotus Flowers Bloom in China-
land."
Variety is the spice of a good singing act
as well as the spice of life. That the team
of Holmes and Hitrick think so is evidenced by
the fact that they are featuring no less than
three songs from the Witmark catalog. "Let
the Rest of the World Go By," "Dear Little Boy
of Mine" and "You Know What I Mean" are
the three numbers in question and all of them
are going big everywhere, but nowhere more so
than with Holmes and Hitrick. Other acts that
have just reported big success with these and
other Witmark popular favorite's are Frank
Morell, singing "That Wonderful Mother of
Mine," which, by the way, he was the very first
to introduce, and about to add "Let the Rest
of the World Go By"; Southe and Tobin, sing-
ing "Can't Yo' Heah Me Callin', Caroline?" and
"I Love You Just the Same, Sweet Adeline;"
the McFarland Sisters and Georgia Campbell,
both featuring "Let the Rest of the World Go
Bv." a Ball and Brennan ballad.
The November issue of The Trade, the little
monthly organ issued by G. Schirmer, Inc., has
just been received by the dealers throughout the
country. As usual, the number is rilled with
news, some timely and valuable suggestions,
and much material that is constructive.
M. E. Tompkins, sales manager of the com-
pany, has a monthly letter. These letters are
always optimistic in tone and they are inter-
esting to the trade. Some apology is made for
the fact that the monthly has not appeared on
time recently, due to the printers' strike.
"IRENE" PROVES BIG HIT
The musical comedy "Irene," with the book
by James Montgomery, lyrics by Jos. Mc-
Carthy and music by Harry Tierney, which
opened in New York some time ago, has been
unanimously announced by the press of New
York as a hit. Probably no musical show in
recent years has brought forth such praise from
the newspaper critics. The notices have been
so favorable and in many cases enthusiastic that
Leo Feist, Inc., publishers of the music, have
reproduced a circular which includes the criti-
cisms of most of the papers.
HAROLD FLAMMER RETURNS
Harold Flammer, of Harold Flammer, Inc.,
recently returned from a ten-day trip visiting
the trade in the Middle West, spending sev-
eral days in Chicago. He found the trade
in excellent shape and that demands for the two
Flammer numbers, "There Were Shepherds,"
by John Prindle Scott, and "The Birth of the
King," by C. Whitney Coombs, were increasing.

While it would appear that there are enough
organizations, associations, clubs, etc., of which
the publishers and writers and others connected
with the music field can become members, the
Writers' Protective Association, an organiza-
tion of authors, short story writers and poets,
does not seem to think so, inasmuch as it is
advertising for new members from the song
writing field.
