Starting with a little two-by-four, he has built
up a splendid business, a great deal of it new

own way: "Selling goods is not a matter of

Alfred Baldwin Sloane,
Noted Composer, Dies
Veteran Composer of Light Operas and Musical
Comedies Succumbs to Heart Disease at
Home of Daughter in Red Bank, N. J., in
Fifty-third Year
Alfred Baldwin Sloane, well known for thirty
years as a composer of light operas and musical
comedies, died February 21, in Red Bank, N. J.,
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. June H.
Brackett, from heart disease. He was taken ill
last Tuesday night. He was in his fifty-third
year.
Mr. Sloane was born in Baltimore. His first
musical score to be produced was that of "Ex-
celsior, Jr.," which was put on the stage in 1895,
when he was twenty-three years old. He had
begun the study and writing of music in 1890.
His second production was "Jack and the Bean-
stalk," in 1896.
Among musical works of which he was com-
poser, or part composer, were "Sergeant Kitty,"
"The Mocking Bird," Lillian Russell's "Lady
Teazle," "Broadway to Tokio," "The Ginger-
bread Man," "Tillie's Nightmare," "The Prince
of Bohemia," "The Summer Widowers," "The
Henpecks," "Hanky-Panky," "The Sun Dodg-
ers" and "Ladies First."
Secure New Meeting Place
The Association of Music Men, the organiza-
tion composed of the sales staffs of various
metropolitan publishing houses, has arranged
to hold its future meetings in the Grand Opera
House Building. The date of the first meeting
in the new gathering place will be announced
shortly.
Two Live Berlin Numbers
Irving Berlin, Inc., has among its newer of-
ferings two that particularly stand out. These
are "Seventeen" and "Oh, Mabel." Both of-
these numbers are quite popular in vaudeville
and are featured by many dance orchestras.
