under the title "Forty Years of Music." These
articles attracted wide attention, aroused re-
newed interest and gave rebirth to many of his
old successes.
Some weeks back Mr. Harris appeared at the
New York Hippodrome. Since that time he has
had finished some colored motion pictures illus-
trating his old and new successes and giving the
songs proper atmosphere when rendered during
his vaudeville appearances. Next week Mr.
Harris is to appear at the Palace Theatre, Chi-
cago, followed by a week in St. Louis, with
other cities to follow.
Besides all the old successes which will appear
in the Harris program, he will place particular
emphasis on a new ballad, called "Without You."
He will also introduce "What's the Matter With
Sue," "Danger in Your Eyes" and his classical
barcarolle "I Knew."
During his appearance in various cities
throughout the country many dealers anticipate
co-operating with the Harris visit by making
special window showings of both his old and
new publications.

Carl Fischer, Inc., Issues New Work Compiled
by Maine Fiddler, Who Won Popularity
Through Playing for Henry Ford
Carl Fischer, Inc., which recently published
"Rippling Waves," a waltz by Mellie Dunham,
Maine's champion fiddler who was given na-
tional publicity through the interest that Henry
Ford took in his work, and who later appeared
in vaudeville, is also responsible for a collec-
tion published by Carl Fischer, Inc. This
publication is known as "Mellie Dunham's Fifty
Fiddlin' Dance Tunes."
Henry Ford, by the way, has done much to
arouse interest in old-time dances. This is not
an effort to supplant current jazz but is a cam-
paign to keep alive old dances, old tunes and
former standards of social activities.
Carl

all those interested in following out the Ford
