Elsie Jean, a contributor to the Enoch &
Sons' catalog, has set many old fairy tales to
music and verse. Her book of records, "Fairy
Folks a Singing Go," includes the well-known
fairy tales "The Pied Piper," "Cinderella,"
"Hansel and Gretel," "The Three Bears" and
"Jack and the Beanstalk." This record book
also contains a novelty song, "Wagsey Water-
melon." The General Phonograph Co. has
brought this book out and it is meeting with
great success.
The Edison Co. has recorded her "Red Riding
Hood a Singing Goes," which is the story of
Red Riding Hood told in verse and music.
Elsie Jean's Kindergarten book, "Singing As
We Go," was written in collaboration with Dr.
George Gartlan, Director of Music in the New
York Public Schools. She has also written a
series of verses for school books to be used
from the kindergarten through the high school
grades. Many of these verses have been set
to music by Walter Damrosch.
A number of Elsie Jean's verses have been
set to music by Mana Zucca, including her
book, "In Candyland," a collection of twelve
amusing verses about the child's favorite candy.
Also "Sleep My Darling," a child's slumber
song, and a great many others.
Elsie Jean is a native of New York and
received her early musical education from her
mother, a brilliant musician. At the age of nine
she won a musical scholarship. The young
musician and writer has made a close study of
child psychology. Her name is well known in
the juvenile literary field, but she has only lately
combined her musical and literary talents. Her
unusual gift for melody writing has in a short
time placed her among the successful com-
posers of children's songs.
At the National Theatre, New York City,
a new musical comedy, entitled "Bye, Bye Bar-
bara," recently had its New York introduction.
This piece is the first producing effort of Theo-
dore Hammerstein, youngest member of the
famous theatrical family, who presents it in
association with Adolph Mayer.
The music is by Carlo and Sanders; the book
by Alonzo Price and Sidney Toller. The show
is romantic in character and the action takes
place in Santa Barbara, Cal. There are many
original novelties used in the production, in-
cluding a flock of sheep which makes an effec-
tive setting for the "Bo Peep Waltz" number,
built around the famous old nursery rhyme.
Other outstanding songs are "Gee, I Must Be
in Love" and "Quaint Little House (Built for
Two)."
The principals include Jack Hassard, Janet
Velie, Lillian Fitzgerald, Mildred Keats, Colin
Campbell and others. Edward B. Marks Music
Co. will publish the score.
"Charley, My Boy" Popular
"Charley, My Boy," the mid-West popular
hit recently purchased by Irving Berlin, Inc.,
and which is fast obtaining prominence both in
New York and Atlantic City, will be made one
of the outstanding numbers in the above cata-
log. The Fall exploitation campaign on
"Charley, My Boy" and several other Berlin
successes will shortly be inaugurated on a wide
scale.

"June Night" Big Hit
Leo Feist, Inc., has one of the biggest hits
of the season in "June Night." Reports from
Portland, San Francisco, many Middle West
cities, Southern centers and widely diversified
territory in the East show this song to be one
of the outstanding sellers. "Doodle Doo Doo,"
the song and dance success from the same cat-
alog, is also showing an increasing popularity.
It has been one of the most successful dance
selections in Atlantic City during the past two
months, and other resorts spoke of its prom-
inence.
