At the Cross Keys Theatre in Philadelphia
there recently appeared a new vaudeville act
known as "The Band of Mystery." This is one
of those mind-reading performances in which a
member of the act circulates in the audience,
gathering the titles of various songs on cards
which have been previously distributed, and as
they are collected by some unknown method the
title is communicated to the band on the stage,
which immediately renders the number. Among
olher things, this is proving a good method of
judging what melodies are uppermost in the
minds of the public. At the above house the
following were the numbers for which the band
received the most requests: "Wabash Blues,"
"Sweetheart," "Peggy O'Neil," "Nobody's Dar-
ling," "When Francis Dances With Me," "Ten
Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes," "Margie,"
"Tuck Me to Sleep in My Old Kentucky Home,"
songs from the catalog of Leo Feist, Inc., Sha-
piro, Bernstein & Co., Inc., Waterson, Berlin &
Snyder and Irving Berlin, Inc.
"Canary Isles," is the title of a new fox-trot
released by the Ben Schwartz Music Co., Inc.
She's ~A Sensation'
OLD EASHIQNED
GIRL
Under the direction of E. C. Mills, chairman of
the board of directors of the Music Publishers'
Protective Association, that organization has
compiled and issued a complete directory of all
talking machine record and player roll com-
panies. Copies of the directory, which is issued'
in two forms, have been placed in the hands of
all members of the Association. The directory
proper is in leather binding, loose-leaf style,
which allows the insertion of additional data
from time to time. It contains the list of manu-
facturers and their addresses; the names of sales
and recording managers; the addresses of re-
cording laboratories, pressing and manufactur-
ing plants, and the product or products as well
as the trade names of the various companies.
In addition, there is issued in paper-bound
form a booklet carrying the alphabetical lists of
the companies and the minute data regarding-
their activities, which is valuable for ready refer-
ence. There also appears in the latter part of
this paper-bound folio an index to brands where-
by any given trade-marked product in either
the player roll or record field can be immediately
traced to the manufacturer.
The Fred Heltman Co., Cleveland, O., is hav-
ing unusual success with the waltz "Night of
Love." The number, seemingly, is quite popu-
lar with orchestras and dancers and it is appear-
ing quite frequently upon records and rolls, both
in song and dance form."

The annual beefsteak dinner of the Greater
New York Music Publishers' and Dealers' As-
sociation was held on Tuesday night of this
week at Lyon's, 56 East Forty-first street.
Some unusually good entertainment was pro-
vided and the gathering was one of the largest
in the history of this Association. A further re-
port of the affair will appear in next week's
issue.

NEW WITMARK SONG MAKING A HIT
ROSSITER MAKES CHANGE
Song From the Pen of Horace Wright and
Rene Dietrich Promises to Set Popularity
Record in Witmark Biack and White Series
CHICAGO, I I I . , January 28.—Harold Rossiter, in
an announcement made to-day, states that after
having been a partner in the Ted Browne Music
Co. for the past five years he has turned over
his interests in that company to Mr. Browne,
who will continue to operate it. Mr. Rossiter
will devote his entire time in the future to the
Harold Rossiter Music Co., the growth of which
has made this move imperative.
"The Little White House With the Little Red
Roof Tucked Away in the Heart of the Hills" is
the title of a new.song recently added to the
Witmark Black and White Series. It is being
sung by the writers, Horace Wright and Rene
Dietrich, who are now appearing in vaudeville
and the reception the number receives at each
rendition marks it as one that will prove as
popular as anything in the series.
Wright and Dietrich in private life are Mr.
and Mrs. Horace Wright, and it is said that the
building of such a little house to which they are
to retire at the end of their present vaudeville
tour is the consummation of a dream of many
years' standing.
