GEO. M. COHAN'S ANNUAL
Witmark to Publish "The Rise of Rosie
O'Reilly," Which Will Shortly Be Produced
in Boston—Said to Be a Hit
The probabilities of Gco. M. Cohan producing
a regular annual musical show are stronger
than ever. That in itself is interesting enough,
but, of course, the fact that these annual pro-
ductions are not only produced by but written
entirely by Mr. Cohan is what counts most.
The success that has attended "Little Nelly
Kelly," still playing to crowded houses on
Broadway, has led everybody to hope it might
be the first of a regular Geo. M. Cohan series,
and probably has had a lot to do with Mr.
Cohan's own plans along those lines. "Little
Nelly Kelly" was first produced by Mr. Cohan
in Boston last May, and now, a year later, it
is as fresh as ever. In the meantime, Mr.
Cohan has been busy on the second of these
annual productions of his, and the result is the
presentation in Boston at the end of May of
"The Rise of Rosie O'Reilly," a typical Geo.
M. Cohan show from start to finish and said
to be the equal in all and the superior in many
respects to "Little Nelly Kelly" herself. Those
who have heard the songs Mr. Cohan has writ-
ten for the new show do not hesitate to rank
them among the best things that George has
ever done, and big, substantial hits are hinted
at that will even outshine "You Remind Me of
My Mother" and "Nelly Kelly, I Love You." >
"The Rise of Rosie O'Reilly" has been writ-
ten, composed, rehearsed, staged and now pro-
duced by Cohan himself. All the songs in "The
"SUN-KIST ROSE" PROGRAMMED
Rise of Rosie O'Reilly" show will be published

"ROSES OF PICARDY" SCORES
Chappell-Harms Finds Ballad Rapidly Increas-
ing in Popularity and Sales
The ( happeli-Hanns number, "!\oses of 1'ic-
ardy," is fast becoming one of the most popular
high-class ballads issued in some years. Sales
of this number, particularly in the last few
months, have mounted so steadily as to give
it the importance of an unusual hit. A long
list of concert and vaudeville artists is pro-
graming the number and the reception of rendi-
tions by audiences everywhere demonstrates
that "Roses of Picardy" has at last been recog-
nized as one of the best ballads ever issued
by a high-class publishing house.
Its success is all the, more icmarkable, due
to the fact that, while it previously had unusual
success in Kngland, it only had a small but
active sale upon being introduced in this coun-
try. The publisher, realizing its merit, natu-
rally did considerable in th • way of publicity
on behalf of it, but the response at that time
was not sufficient to justify extensive further
appropriations. This seemingly dilatory mood
on the part of the music-loving public was cred-
ited to the fact that the title "Roses of Picardy"
gave the impression that the number was a
war song. At the time of its initial release the
war fever and the accompanying propaganda
had not yet spent itself and undoubtedly this
resulted in a great injustice.
With the present-day programing of the num-
ber, now that the public lias forgotten the
feverish war activity, the lyrics and title are
accepted for what they really are.
