Sousa Plays New March at
Minnesota State Fair
"Minnesota," Published by Sam Fox Publishing
Co., Is Dedicated to State University, Where
Copy Has Been Placed in Archives
John Philip Sousa, celebrated band master
and composer of marches, figured prominently
in the activities of the Minnesota State Fair
recently when his latest march, "Minnesota," was
officially dedicated to the State University. The
piece is being published by the Sam Fox Publish-
ing Co., New York and Cleveland, and will be
ready- for distribution shortly. Mr. Sousa
wrote the number, following his appearance in
St. Paul last year with his full band, when he
was requested by the university students, alumni
and faculty to compose an appropriate march.
At the opening day of the Minnesota Fair,
held in St. Paul earlier in the month, Mr. Sousa
stepped down from the bandstand, where his
band was engaged for the week, and made a
brief speech, presenting a copy of the march
to William F. Sanger, State fair president, who
was to turn it over to the archives of the Uni-
versity of Minnesota. The number is described
as being a typical, lively, rollicking Sousa tune,
and was played three times daily by the Sousa
band during fair week.

garded as the national air of the Irish Free
State. Copies of this music will be sent subse-
quently to regimental and post bands.

New Firm Begins Catalog With Two Numbers,
"Egyptian Honeymoon" and "The Fireplace
Is Rosy"
SEATTLE, WASH., September 17.—The new North-
western music publishing house, Master Craft
Songs, has established offices in the People's
Bank Building, Second and Pine streets, this
city, and has already produced two numbers,
which appear to possess possibilities. The firm
is headed by Sylvester L. Cross as president
and Lucius O. Ross as sales manager. The
enterprise of the new house is shown by its
adoption of an emblem on the title page of
its numbers, which represents a picturesque
ship under full sail, with the caption, "The
Whole World Sings," set in a curve over the
vessel.
The two numbers released by this house in
August are "Egyptian Honeymoon," an Ori-
ental dream waltz, and "The Fireplace Is Rosy
(But I'm Feeling Blue)," also a waltz ballad.
Both are the work of the president of the con-
cern, Mr. Cross, and are being featured by
orchestras and musical acts in various parts of
the Northwest. "Egyptian Honeymoon" is go-
ing particularly strong locally, having been in-
troduced by Herb Wiedoeft's orchestra at the
Trianon.
New Bibo, Bloeden & Lang
Proves a Quick Hit
Bibo, Bloeden & Lang, New York, have had
the unique experience recently of publishing
a comedy song which has jumped into promi-
nence sooner than was the firm's intention.
The number is entitled, "You Can't Walk Back
From an Aeroplane (So What Are You Girls
Gonna Do?)" and was written by Irving Bibo
of the firm, and William B. Friedlander, the
theatrical producer. The original plan of Bibo,
Bloeden & Lang was to reserve the number
for a new musical production or revue, but the
song just wouldn't wait.
News of the release of the song spread and
Jack Wilson, of "Footlights," heard it and im-
mediately requested it for this production, play-
ing at the Lyric Theatre in New York. The
number made a big hit, and since then there has
been a steady stream of headliners rushing into
the professional offices of the firm to learn the
song. Among them have been Ted Healy, of
"A Night in Spain," Johnny Marvin, Jack Nor-
ton, Maureen Englin, Jack Kaufman, Elsie Clark,
Phil Davis and others.
Another song in the novelty category is "I
Walked Back From the Buggy Ride," which is
beginning to show up big in the East.

Von Tilzer Numbers
Three characteristic songs are being pushed
by the Harry Von Tilzer Music Publishing Co.,
New York, this season, and two of them are
already approaching the hit class. They are
"Whether It Rains—Whether It Shines" and
"All I Want Is Just Your Love," which are
included in the repertories of most of the dance
orchestras in the East. Prominent musical acts
in the larger vaudeville houses are also doing a
lot with the numbers. A third and newer song
in the Harry Von Tilzer catalog is a strictly
comedy song, "When It's Necking Time in
Great Neck," which has a catchy lyric by Dolph
Singer, set to Harry Von Tilzer's tune. A big
demand for this song from vaudeville comics
is anticipated and a campaign is being started
by the firm with this aim.
