FLORIDA HOUSE HAS NEW SONGS
NEW HIPPODROME SHOW A BIG HIT
TWO NEW KORTLANDER NUMBERS
Marion Conley and Samuel F. Parr Join Staff
of Dixie Music Publishing Co., Inc.
"Good Times" Offers Many Spectacular and
Amusing Novelties and Some Fine Music
Chas. K. Harris is the publisher of two new
numbers from the pen of Max Kortlander. One
is a fox-trot novelty called "The Thrill," and
the other a ballad entitled "Like We Used to
Be." The latter number is proving quite popular
as a dance, a special orchestration having been
arranged for that purpose. Both numbers are
issued with very artistic title pages.
In "Good Times," the new Hippodrome pro-
duction which opened on Monday of last week,
Charles Dillingham has offered to New York
without question the best show of the several
elaborate spectacles that he has offered at that
•great playhouse.
R. H. Burnside staged the newest spectacle and
is also responsible for the book of the piece,
while the elaborate musical score was provided
bv Raymond Hubbell. In staging the spectacle
Mr. Burnside has avoided the appearance of
sameness and has offered more novelties than
usual, without detracting from the high stand-
ard of beauty which is always maintained. Mar-
celine has returned to the fold, which in itself is
a feature worth while, and among the other
novelties is "Music and Fun," a clever musical
and pantomime act, by Ferry Corwey.

The Dixie Music Publishing Co., Inc., 22 Hav-
liti Building, Miami, Fla., announce five num-
bers for the opening of their Fall campaign.
This firm's business has been rapidly growing
during the past few months, and their offices
were recently enlarged to take care of the in-
creasing business.
Marion E. Conley and Samuel F. Parr, two
very talented composers, have just been added
to the staff of the company. Miss Conley
writes both words and music, as also does
Mr. Parr. They are both collaborating with A.
B. Lowe, who is also president of the company.
The Dixie Publishing Co.'s offices are ideally
located and are opposite the Strand Theatre,
where the Miami music lovers congregate.
ETHWELL HANSON ON VACATION
Ethwell Hanson, composer of "Desertland,"
"Sweet Southern Dreams," and other numbers
published by the Riviera Music Co., Chicago,
111., is spending a few weeks' vacation in Mil-
waukee, Wis. He will shortly return to Chi-
cago, where he is in charge of the composing
staff of the Riviera Co.
FEIST ISSUING A NEW "BLUES"
Leo Feist, Inc., announce the release of a
new song entitled "I've Got the Sweetheart
Blues." The number is from the pen of Al
Wilson and Irving Bibo. The publishers have
arranged a big professional campaign for this
new novelty, and it probably will be quite popu-
lar in vaudeville circle? during the coming weeks.
