American composers are to be found in the catalog
of Oliver Ditson Company.

and "I'll Be Your Sweetheart." Herman
Bandy, the tenor, finds "In the House of
Too Much Trouble" a great hit on the
vaudeville stage. Williams and Walker,
the princes of colored comedians, whose lat-
est musical farce-comedy "The Sons of
Ham," has been the most successful show
of its kind on the road this season, have
found "The Fortune Telling Coon" one of
their best numbers in a remarkably fine rep-
ertoire. The odd idea of this song strikes
the audience so funnily that the song wins
seven and eight recalls for the authors and
singers.
"THE KING'S CARNIVAL."
This is the last week of "The Giddy
Throng" at the New York Theatre. This
clever burlesque then goes to Boston, and
"The King's Carnival," by Sydney Rosen-
feld and A. Baldwin Sloane, will open Mon-
day night in its place. This burlesque will
include travesties on "In the Palace of the
King," "When Knighthood Was In Flow-
or," "Under Two Flags," "The Climbers"
and other plays. The cast will include
Matthews and Bulger, Adele Ritchie, Marie
Dressier, Norma Whalley, Dan McAvoy,
Jessie May, and one hundred and fifty
others.

On Tuesday next there will be given at
Keith's Theatre what is called a baritone
monologue, or what amounts to a one-man
grand opera. Harry Rowe Shelley has
written the words and music to this lyrical
intermezzo, which will be called "A Mod-
ern Santa Claus." Harry Gerard will play
the part of Santa Claus, and will be sup-
ported by a chorus of sixteen female voices.
The music and lyrics are especially fine, and
from what is heard of the rehearsals, it will
be a success. Schubert & Co. publish the
music.

this week, "and May has been very good

She has been at Koster & Bial's this week,
and has been one of the stars of an excep-

WITH ARK NOTES.
Master Joe Santley's popularity grows
apace. He was heard last Sunday night at
the New York Theatre, and among the
songs that brought him the applause so just-
ly merited were: "The Girl I Loved and
Lost," by Cobb and Edwards; "It's a Maid,
Sweet Maid," by Will R. Anderson, and
"Good Night, Beloved, Good Night," by
Oliver and Fay.

"Put me off at Buffalo" at the Pan-Amer-

down to posterity by those taking up the
refrain anew, and spreading it over a great-
er field than it ever compassed before.
