McKinley's Waltz Song Hit
M. Witmark & Sons announce that B. C.
Hilliam and Gus Edwards are collaborating on
a new musical piece to be called "The Film
Girl." This will be constructed along the lines
of the various Winter Garden and "Follies"
shows. This is Gus Edwards' first opportu-
nity at a real Broadway show in its entirety, and
as he has been quite successful in both vaude-
ville and cabaret productions his work in the
coming piece will be awaited with interest.
A syndicate has been formed to produce the
show and it is understood that the production
will go into rehearsal in the early fall. M.
Witmark & Sons have exclusive contracts for
all the works produced by Messrs. Hilliam and
Edwards.
CAMPAIGN ON NEW NUMBER
'Just Leave It to Me" to Be Pushed Ener-
getically by Shapiro, Bernstein & Co.
Billy Tracey and Maceo Pinkard, writers of
"Mammy o'Mine," are the authors of a new
song, "Just Leave It to Me," published by
Shapiro, Bernstein & Co., Inc.
Thomas Hughes, sales manager of the above
publishing house, has now arranged his plans for
his fall campaign. This has been the busiest
summer in the history of his concern, the de-
mands for both popular and high-priced numbers
having continued despite the unsettled weather.
One of the features of the new issues of
Shapiro, Bernstein & Co., Inc., will be some very
original title pages. Most of them will be in
many colors and are really considered works of
art.
FEATURING NUMBERS BY HERBERT
J. Fischer & Bro. Circularizing the Trade in
Behalf of Works by This Author
J. Fischer & Bro., the well-known New York
music publishers, have just issued to the trade a
circular listing the successful operettas and can-
tatas by W. Rhys Herbert. The forepart of
the circular is given over to the different titles
and short descriptions. The latter part features
the sacred cantatas of the writer, including
"The Christ Child," "Bethany," "The Naza-
rene" and "Bethlehem."
In addition to the circular being sent to the
trade, thousands of copies of it will be mailed
to churches, etc. However, the material carries
a note that the numbers can be examined at or
obtained from the reader's regular dealer.

The society is holding an annual congress

fox-trot and all other" dances, according to of-
ficials of the organization.
