ITS INTENTIONS WERE GOOD
But the Telegraph Company Evidently Does
Not Keep Up on the Latest Hits
The leading telegraph companies never over-
look an opportunity of adding to their revenues.
There is quite a little competition in that field
and various means are used by these organiza-
tions to hold the interest of their clients and
get the larger amount of their business.
This wide-awake policy of the Western Union
Telegraph Co. recently led to a humorous in-
cident which can be particularly enjoyed by

REVIEW
from The Music Shop, Indianapolis, Ind., which
leads, "Send 100 'Got to See Mamma'." The
New York telegraph office, not being familiar
with the title, interpreted the message to mean
that the sender needed $100, evidently to see
his or her mother, and the result is that it at-
tached a memo, shown in the reproduction, call-
ing the receivers' attention to the fact that $100
could be sent to Indianapolis for $1.98.

PICTURE HOUSES IMPROVE PROGRAMS
One Thousand Theatres Negotiating to Better
Musical Programs With Film Presentations
It has been announced that negotiations were
being carried on by one thousand motion pic-
ture houses which heretofore have been devoted
to films exclusively for the purpose of adding
concert features to their programs. The pur-
pose is to attract the better-class singing acts
to the photoplay houses and improve musical
programs.
The move is another indication of the recog-
nition accorded to music by exhibitors. In the
programs planned the decided benefit will accrue
to vocal selections in both popular and stand-
ard variety and should add further activity to
the sales of sheet music. The moving picture
theatre is one of the most active forces in cre-
ating a wider musical demand.
NEW MUSIC PUBLISHING COMPANY
A new publishing organization, to be known
as the Artists' Music Publishing Co., was re-
cently incorporated. Nat Vincent, the well-
known songwriter, is president and manager of
the new concern and Frank Tinney is vice-
president. Among those who are said to be in-
terested is the musical comedy and vaudeville
star, Nora Bayes.

CnicAcn, 111., April 23.—We have all hem won-
dering why our old friend, Lee Roberts, so well
known to the members of the Chicago trade,
has not been furnishing us with any of his de-
lightful melodies during the past year or so.
Hut now comes "Oh, Harold!" which is being
advertised extensively in national and local ad-
vertising and bears all the ear-marks of a char-
acteristic Lee Roberts success, much as he has
had them in the past.
