NEW BOOSEY & CO. NUMBERS
DEALERS: Please remember that
Several Standard Works Announced as Addi-
tions to Present Catalog
Among the recent new issues added to the
catalog of Boosey & Co. are "A Wee Brown
Maid," words by Marian Phelps and music by
Alvin S. Wiggers, composer of "The Barefoot
Trail." This number is one of homely simplic-
ity, carrying one back to childhood days, and
wilh music that is particularly appealing.
"Hush-A-Bye, Baby Mine," is being featured
by Dorothy Jordan, the well-known musical
comedy star. This song is already showing to
good advantage in vaudeville circles, and it will
without doubt have more than the usual popu-
larity during the coming months.
"Vale" (Farewell), with words by deBurgh
D'Arcy and music by Kennedy Russell, is a high-
class song with a wide appeal which has had
much popularity in England, and whose sales
total has already reached a large figure.
Other numbers are: "West Wind," the poem
by John Masetield and music by C. Allison-
Crompton; a light novelty called "The Fairies
Have Never a Penny to Spend," which is pro-
gramed by the well-known concert star, Clara
Butt, and "Bogies," with a lyric somewhat after
the fashion of the late James Whitcomb Riley's
works. "How Long Wilt Thou Forget Me?",
"He Passed By," a French poem with English
words by Adin Ballou; "Claribel," with words
by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, music by Michael
Head, and a new song with words by Fred E.
Weatherly, with music by W. H. Squire, entitled
"The Road That Leads to You," and "Love's
Garden," are also among the new listings.
McCORMACK TO RETURN IN APRIL
John McCormack, the Irish-American tenor,
who has been touring the world, will return to
this country early in April. In the meantime he
has contracted to sing in opera at Monte Carlo
in February and March. He is also considering
an offer to appear in several opera performances
in Paris during January.

"MIDNIGHT ROUNDERS" IN BOSTON
"The Midnight Rounders" has recently been
playing an engagement in Boston, Mass. The
show is having a most successful road tour and
Eddie Cantor, who joined this organization a
few weeks ago, seems to have added additional
"pep" to the play. He is featuring with great
success the Leo Feist, Inc., number, "Grieving,"
which is popular in both song and instrumental
form. The Feist organization recently ran an
ad in the Boston Post featuring the song "Griev-
ing" and mentioning Eddie Cantor to good ad-
vantage.
USING JACK MILLS HIT
Among the vaudeville performers now using
numbers from the catalog of Jack Mills, Inc.,
are Dolly Ward, who is scoring a hit with
"Sweet Mamma" (Papa Is Getting Mad) as well
as Buck and Bubbles, who appear with Nat
Nazarro, and who sing the same number.

'THE ROSE GIRL" REVISED
Shubert Interests Whip New Musical Comedy
Into Shape for Metropolitan Appearance—
Music Published by M. Witmark & Sons
The new and elaborately revised version of
"The Rose Girl" is due to open at Baltimore
on January 17. This is the piece originally
produced by the Goetzl Theatrical Enterprises,
Inc., with book and lyrics by William Cary Dun-
can, and music by Anselm Goetzl, both of whom,
with Geo. M. Cohan, were responsible for that
tremendous success, "A Royal Vagabond."
Since the original production of "The Rose
Girl" a month or two ago, the piece has been
reconstructed and strengthened by the Shu-
berts. The chief changes affect the cast, all
the members of which are practically new, and
every one well known. They include Charles
Piircell. Mabel Withee, Stewart Baird, Louis
Simon, Fred Hillebrand, David Andrada, May
Boley, May Kitchin, Shep Camp, Mme. Bru-
zovna, Beatrice and Marcella Swanson and
Marjorie Gatcson.
All of Dr. Goetzl's music, of course, is re-
tained, including such favorite numbers as
"There'll Come Some Day," "Dear Little Rose
Girl," "May and September," "Magnetism,"
"Down Where the Mortgages Grow" and
others. The music of "The Rose Girl" is pub-
lished by M. Witmark & Sons.
