WASHINGTON, D. C, May 30.—Representative
Isaac R. Sherwood (D., O.), who will be eighty-
nine years old on August 31, in a brief memorial
address to the House said present-day songs are
"vulgar" and do not compare with those com-
posed by the soldiers behind the battle lines
during the Civil War.
"In all the sixty years that have elapsed since
the war," he said, "there has not been one great
dramatic poem or lyric written equal to the
soldiers' songs during that war, and not one
of high moral import.
"We are living in a utilitarian age and the
spirit that actuated that great war appears to
have gone. What have we now? 'Yes, We
Have No Bananas,' 'Take Us to the Land of
Jazz,' 'Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here' and the
like." The first song sung in the Civil War
Camps, Gen. Sherwood explained, was "John
Brown's Body Lies A-Mould'ring in the Grave,"
written by Col. Fletcher Webster.
"The first song written on the other side, the
Confederate side, was by James R. Randall, a
tutor in a Louisiana College—"Maryland, My
Maryland," one of the greatest dramatic poems
of the war.
"The most dramatic and most pathetic and
most plaintive of all the war songs sung on
both sides during the war was 'Tenting To-
night on the Old Camp Ground.' That was
written by Arthur Kittridge, of the Second New
Hampshire Infantry.
" 'Somebody's Darling' was another of those
plaintive songs sung all over the North and the
South. It was written by Mariah Lacosta, of
Virginia. Another was 'The Vacant Chair,' by

A new revue which it is reported may be
staged by Ned Weyburn, has already been an-
nounced for the coming Fall season. It carries
the very striking title, which, it has been an-
nounced, has been duly protected and which
reads "Sins of 1924."
The show has been booked for an opening
week at the Toledo Auditorium, beginning
September 21. Elaine Gholson is one of the
first of the cast to be engaged and she will
be one of the features of the production. This
actress has had a very prominent and extended
career with Western stock companies, from
which so many of our big metropolitan stage
stars have graduated. Miss Gholson is her-
alded as one of the most talented of the young-
est Western actresses.

orchestras throughout the United States and
Canada. In addition, in song form it has been
heard frequently in vaudeville. Following up
the public rendition, the Hearst Co. has issued
circulars, folders, cut-outs, window strips and
other dealer hook-ups. These have tended to
get the most out of the sales created by the
public performances.
The various branches of the Hearst Co. all
took part in "Just a Lullaby" campaign, as well
as supplementing the work of the executive
offices on other current successes in the catalog.
The result has been that the sales of Hearst
music have been on the increase. Its numbers
are appearing regularly on talking machine rec-
ord and player roll lists and in other ways
showing the result of the well-planned cam-
paigns.

many thousands, men and women, who both
understand and appreciate. Any artist respon-
sive, as we all are to our audiences, must feel
the difference between an American audience
nowadays and one of twenty years back. One
can feel the people vibrate in sympathy, and in
expressing their enthusiasm in music, as in
other things, Americans have become more
demonstrative than they used to be. It is not
only in New York, but all over the country, that
one finds a response, and Americans, never con-
tent with anything second rate, insist on having
the very best, with the result that they are get-
ting better musical training than almost any
other people."
Asked if this response to music seemed to him
likely to produce great musicians from among
the people themselves, Paderewski replied:
"In execution Americans are going very far
ahead and very quickly, but I am no prophet. I
prefer to watch developments rather than pre-
dict them, but I will say that those which I
have watched in America are very encouraging."
