pipes galore. Any style of music you wished

one who wants to do the Charleston. The musi-
cal program was arranged through the Canadian
Bureau for the Advancement of Music by the
President, Capt. Atkinson and our friend, Gor-
don Thompson of Leo Feist, Ltd., who had
much to do with the success of this program.
It was hard for me to tell whether Gordon
Thompson is Scotch or English but from a lit-
tle experience he had, I let you judge for your-
self. It seems one day Gordon Thompson and
his friend, Sandy McNabb, were sitting in a
street car, when a pretty damsel entered. This
was on the Yonge .street line going uptown.
She smiled knowingly at Sandy who raised his

hat. Learning that his friend knew the young
lady, Gordon pressed for an introduction.
"Shall we take the seat near her so you can
introduce me?" he asked. "Wait a while," re-
plied Sandy, "she hasn't paid her fare yet."

Mr. Cadman will compose a theme song, "Lit-
tle Wild Rose," dedicated to Lois Wilson, who,
as the heroine of the screen story, is known by
that name to the Indian here portrayed by
Richard Dix. Noah Beery, Malcolm McGregor
and others also play prominent parts.
Charles Wakefield Cadman's Indian composi-
tions are famous. They include "From Wig-
wam and Teepee," "Birds of Flame," "Four
American Indian Songs," a trio in D major for
violin, 'cello and piano, and "The Robin
Woman," the first American opera to live be-
yond one season at the Metropolitan Opera
House, and others.
Among the new songs added to the catalog
of the Oliver Ditson Co. is "Breath o' Heaven,"
tin.' lyric of which is by George Gibson Davis
and music by George P. Hulten. A new con-
tribution by Eugene Cowles is entitled "Rock of
Strength," and another offering from the pen of
Laurence H. Montague is called "This Life and
You."
