SINGING THE WITMARK SONGS.
Spencer Kelly, who has been singing "My
Elinore," since Standish and Silberburg gave
him the manuscript copy, repeated his former
success with this beautiful ballad, in the
West. Mr. Kelly is also singing a sacred
song, "The Voice of Jehovah," by the same
authors, which promises to be as popular as
any song in this class. Alfred Dorin, of the
Andalusians, is meeting with great success
in his rendition of "The Voice of Jehovah."
Mr. Dorin also sings "Answer Me, Sweet-
heart, Do," and "My Elinore," in an effective
manner. Those three songs are from the
pens of Standish & Silberburg.
In the extensive repertoire of Louise
Dresser, will be found "I'm Thinkin' 'Bout
Yer Honey," "Just My Little Yaller Boy and
Me," "In Our Home, Sweet Home," "The
Moon Baby," and "When Chloe Sings a
Song." All of these she renders in her usu-
ally artistic style and easily captures her au-
diences. Marie Beaugarde, who has made
such a good impression at the various London
Music Halls, is using "Youse Am De Sweet-
est Coon Dat's Born."
A WITMARK PROGRAM.
At the opening concert at Midland Beach,
the band, under the able direction of Louis
Dittmar, rendered twelve numbers in the
afternoon, and twelve in the evening concert.
This made twenty-four different numbers, all
of which were exclusively from the cata-
logue of Mr. Witmark & Sons.
where," and the music fine. Paul Dresser
is to be congratulated on his latest effort.
A pretty little children's dance is "Dance of
the Frowsy-Heads," by Pauline B. Story.
Another instrumental number is "Gossip,"
Two-Step by Bert Lesser. Two coon songs
are "Don't You Never Take No Ten Cent
Drink On Me," by John Queen and Hughie
Cannon; and "Ain't Dat A Shame," by John
Queen and Walter Wilson. Another Pan-
American song is "Pan, Pan, Pan," by Will
D. Cobb and Gus Edwards. These songs are
getting a trifle wearisome; there is hardly
a publishing house in America that hasn't
got an "Exposition" song of some sort.
Those clever young writers, Harry J. Breen
and T. Mayo Geary have a new song out,
"Caroline;" the words are about the same as
usual, but the melody is bright and catchy.
Mr. Geary has quite a lot of originality in
him; he will make a name for himself one of
these days.
Howley, Haviland and Dresser, are adver-
tising "Four of a Kind," published by the
House on Broadway. They are "Sweet An-
nie Moore," "Mamie," "Mary Green," and
"Good-Bye, Dolly Grey;" but why leave out
"Mr. Shakespeare," it certainly is the hit of
the town. This firm have had a wonderful
run of success since "The Blue and The
Grev," and they are keeping it up.

BREEN AND GEARY.
Harry J. Breen and T. Mayo Geary are
probably the youngest successful song writ-
ers of the present dy. That they are young,
we know, and that they are successful is
proven by the fact that Howley, Haviland
& Dresser publish the greater number of
their compositions. This firm do not buy
rubbish, and, as many a composer has re-
marked, "I would rather place my songs with
H.H.& D.than anyone." Mr. Geary is an actor
of some note. He played in "Shore Acres"
for two seasons, and in the "Still Alarm"
Co.; he has also had six years on the vaude-
SON GS.

FROM H 7 ~ H . & D.
Paul Dresser has two new compositions
out this month, "Mr. Volunteer," or "You
Don't Belong to the Regulars, You're Just
A Volunteer," is the name of one of them;
it is a typical patriotic song of the Dresser
type, and has met with some approval on the
vaudeville stage. The other is a sacred song,
which shows Mr. Dresser's musical versa-
tility. The words are really beautiful, the
title of the song is "In The Great Some-
The firm of Dave Fitzgibbon, Butler &
Co. have received personal letters from some
of our best known singers and players
throughout the country, saying many compli-
mentary things about their publications, and
giving instances of the success they have met
with when using these songs. It is aston-
ishing how this new firm have made such
progress within the short period that they
have been in business. Yet why be aston-
ished? Their judgment has been good in
the selection of their compositions. Dave
Fitzgibbon's knowledge of the "profession"
is boundless.
They are "hustlers," and
therein lies the secret of their phenomenal
success. Their latest song "Lizzie," prom-
ises to be one of the coining season's "hits."
It will be used by fourteen burlesque shows,
and many prominent artists.
"Lizzie" is
"It."
