Chicago, Til. in addition, this musical corn- achieved the importance through the wide pub-
licity obtained by its musical renditions, of
actually making the popular successes for Chi-
cago and vicinity. It holds the record of taking
novelty numbers in fox-trot form and giving
them a Middle West presentation that brings
responses to the music counters in the form of
volume sales in four weeks' time, or less. Its
first success along this line was "Toot, Toot,
Tootsie," followed later by "No, No, Nora." Its
most recent achievement is the success obtained
by "Charley, My Boy," introduced by this or-
chestra before the lyrics were completed.
"Charley, My Boy," in musical form with a
few catch lines, was rendered for a number of
nights with a singing introduction and finale
ending with "Oh, Charley, My Boy," with the
result that the lines became a by-word in Chi-
cago territory. This, together with a luring
melody, created calls. A representative of Irv-
ing Berlin, Inc., induced the writers to finish
the song in lyrical form, the results of which
were rushed to print, and the publisher is now
placing copies before the trade. In the mean-

Well-known Comedienne Appears in Sherman,
Clay & Co. Catalog With Series Entitled
"Water Front Sketches"
Maude Fulton, the writer and comedienne,
is probably known to theatregoers from coast
to coast. It will be somewhat surprising to
them to know that she really has unusual talent
as a composer of charming music. Sherman,
Clay & Co. have issued a series of seven sketches
published only in collection under the title
"Water Front Sketches." All of them are from
the pen of Maude Fulton, and the titles include
"The Water Front," "Fog," "The North Wind,"
"Sea Gulls," "Sunset," "Home" and "Bon Voy-
age."
An introduction by the publishers to
these numbers is well worth repeating as of
interest to the many friends of Miss Fulton.
From the windows of her roof-top studio
overlooking San Francisco Bay Miss Fulton has
observed things; how, for instance, the north
wind batters the bare cliffs in late autumn; how
the busy harbor looks and sounds at a warm
noontide; these, the squabbling of sea gulls, the
yellow sunsets, are translated by her into pic-
turesque melodic strains—vignettes, if you will,
but still faithful and vivid reproductions of
waterfront life as she sees it.
On intimate terms with the sky and the sea
she has noted her musical impressions of them,
not in sweeping symphonies but in little frag-
mentary harmonies, light tone-thoughts caught
and washed in against a beloved canvas.

W. C. Handy, head of Handy Bros. Music
Co., Inc., composer of "Memphis Blues," "Beale

who has often been given the credit for being
the originator of "blues" songs, has regained
his vision after being almost totally blind for
a period of two years. Some of his newer com-
positions are achieving importance through the
fact that they carry an entirely new style and
have been introduced under the name, "The
