"CHINA LILY" COMING ALONG
One of Several Feature Numbers in the Catalog
of Bob Chamberlin
Bob Chamberlin, the music publisher of
Chicago, apparently has a hit in "China Lily."
(Think of Me). The number, in addition to be-
ing a song heard quite frequently in profes-
sional circles, is having more than the usual
popularity as a dance selection. In addition to
"China Lily," the firm are at present featuring
"There Blooms a Rose," "Love Song Just at
Evening," "The Land of Make Believe," "Pussy
Willow Time," and "Let Your Troubles All Go
Up in Smoke."
"The Land of Make Believe" is a novel num-
ber of unusual merit and as the publishers are
giving it some good publicity it should have a
big sale. It is issued on pebbled paper and car-
ries one of the most attractive as well as artistic
title pages seen in some time.

Maude Fulton, the well-known actress and
playwright, is again demonstrating her versatil-
ity by appearing as the author of several songs,
all of which are being published by Daniels &
Wilson, Inc., well-known music publishers of
New York and San Francisco. Among these
are "Singapoo" (Song of the East), which, ac-
cording to reports, has already had sales of the
entire first edition. "Singapoo" is described as
a charming novelty number with music by Neil
Moret, composer of the successful "Mickey"
song. Other numbers by Miss Fulton are
"Love's Rainbow" (When You Are Away),
"Raggedy Man" and "Honey," at present re-

DEATH OF LUIGI ILLICA
IN THE AFTERGLOW
THE SENSATIONAL SONG SUCCESS
OF THE YEAR
Luigi Illica, Italy's foremost grand opera
librettist, died last week. In all he gave the
words to fifty operas, including works by Puc-
cini, Mascagni, Cilea, Giordano and Franchetti;
the librettos of Mascagni's "Iris" and Puccini's
"La Boheme" were written by Illica, who also,
aided by Giacosa, developed the libretto of
Puccini's "Madame Butterfly."

"Peter Gink," the one-step published by Wal-
ter Jacobs, Boston, Mass., has probably had as
great popularity over as long a period as any
number of the instrumental order issued in re-
cent years. It is still played by the orchestras
everywhere, and it is being used quite frequently
in vaudeville. Jos. Green, the well known xylo-
phone soloist, played it on every program dur-
ing the recent tour of Sousa's Band.
