Promise to Become Big Hits
"Jim Jam Jems," the new John Cort musical
comedy, opened at the Cort Theatre, New York,
on Mon-day evening of last week. Ada Mae
Weeks heads the cast, assisted by Zoe Barnett,
Joe E. Brown, Harry Langdon and others of
like calibre. "Jim Jam Jems" is the work of
Harry L. Cort and George E. Stoddard, with
music by James Hanley. The various critics
of the metropolitan press speak well of this
new "offering and the music particularly came
in for some unusual mention. Among the songs
that apparently will be heard frequently
throughout the coming season are "When the
Right Little Girl Comes Along," "Sweet Little
Stranger," "I've Always Been Fond of Babies,"
"The Magic Kiss," "Raggedy Ann" and "Every-
body But Me." Shapiro-Bernstein & Co., Inc.,
are the publishers of the music.
The McKinley Music Co., of Chicago, has
just announced the release of several new songs.
Among these are a new waltz entitled "Sleepy
Hollow," with a lyric by Harold C. Frost and
music by Lemuel Fowler and F. Henri Klick-
mann, the latter composer of "Sweet Hawaiian
Moonlight" and other McKinley hits.
Harold Frost and F. Henri Klickmann are
also responsible for "Do You?" with a lyric
that is described as quite clever and with music
of the sort that has wide appeal. The other
new issues include "Swanee Moonlight," "The
Song of the Southern Moon" and "Everything
About You Tells Me You Are Irish."
The much-heralded Comstock & Gest spec-
tacle "Mecca" opened at the Century Theatre,
New York, on Monday evening of last week.
Certainly it is on a par with any of the previous
works of its nature produced by the Comstock
& Gest organization. It will no doubt play a
lengthy season at the New York house, after
which it will be booked for a run in Chicago.
The musical numbers are published by T. B.
Harms & Francis, Day & Hunter, and include
such songs as "My King of Love," "A Fool
There Was," and "When Love Knocked Upon
the Door."
FULLER USING STERN CO. NUMBERS
The Earl Fuller Orchestra is now touring the
West, accompanied by Mrs. Fuller as vocalist.
In rendering the various numbers programmed,
Mrs. Fuller interprets the chorus in its second
repetition in all of the songs. This innovation
has proved a special feature of the perform-
ances. Among the numbers programmed are
"I Am a Jazz Vampire," "Madrigal of May"
and "Sweet Cuban Love." The numbers men-
tioned are published by Jos. W. Stern & Co.
"APPLE BLOSSOM TIME" A HIT
FRED STONE IN NEW COMEDY
Chappell-Harms Co. Publishing Score of New
Dillingham Show Featuring Fred Stone
To All Music Dealers
Charles B. Dillingham presented at the Globe
Theatre, New York, on Tuesday evening of
last week a new show entitled, "Tip Top," in
which Fred Stone' is featured. Fred Stone is
always a show in himself and his audiences are
always due for lively entertainment. As usual
he is accompanied by the Six Brown Brothers,
who do much to make the music snappy. The
book is by Annie Caldwell and the music is by
Ivan Caryll. Among the song numbers, which
are conceded hits, are "Girl I've Never Met,"
"Lantern of Love," "One Girl, One Boy" and
"Girls Who Keep Me Guessing." The Chap-
pell-Harms Co., Inc., is the publisher of the
Don't Miss This Opportunity
