THE 7VT\JSIC TRKDE
WILL STAR IN MUSICAL FARCE.
FLO IRWIN'S NEW SONG.
May Irwin and her sister Flo are almost
the sole representatives of a type of Amer-
ican comedienne which is as rare as it is
delightful. Vigorous, wholesome, and fairly
scintillant with magnetism, these two women
have won a warm place in the hearts of thou-
sands of theatre-goers simply by a genuine
humor and absence of all affectation. They
are not merely mouthpieces for playwrights,
but have clever ideas of their own which they
are independent enough to put before the
public in their own way. Flo Irwin has re-
cently written a song with Walter Hawley,
which M. Witmark & Sons have now in
press. It has every element which goes to
make a popular song. It is called "She's
My Girl All the Year Round." The refrain
is catchy with that haunting simplicity which,
once heard, cannot be forgotten; the words
of the lyric are natural, and express just
what any good fellow thinks about his best
girl; in fact, it is just the sort of song which
one would expect Miss Irwin to write, as it
is full of her own bright personality.
Charles Grapewin, the well-known come-
dian, is to star next season under the man-
agement of Samuel L. Tuck in a musical
farce called "Mr. Pipp." Mr. Grapewin has
for some time been doing the nucleus of this
comedy in a bright one-act sketch, in the
playing of which this clever star employed
the always successful methods of pathetic
CHAS. GRAPEWIN.
comedy, which keep the audience between
smiles and tears. His original and unusual
methods have won for Mr. Grapewin a
unique place in the theatrical world. While
he is thoroughly at home in the broadest sort
of farce fun-making, he can stir the heart
with the touch of real pathos in a manner
which is truly inimitable. This new produc-
tion, which promises to be one of the most
important of the coming tieatrical season,
will have its entire musical setting furnished
by M. Witmark & Sons.

A late musical composition which is likely
to be most popular is entitled "The National
Humorists' March and Two-step," and is the
composition of Henry Edward Warner, of
Baltimore. Mr. Warner is well known both
as a musician and a humorist, and has dedi-
cated this new piece of music to the humor-
ists of the American press. The march is
well written, full of melody, and has a dash
and swing, which is a guarantee for its pop-
ularity, and establishes Mr. Warner's ability
as a composer.
LUDERS GETTING INSPIRATION.
Gustav Luders is evidently gaining fresh in-
spiration for another "Message of the Vio-
let" in the green and music-haunted woods
of Germany,. In a recent letter he says: "I
am having a lovely time in my dear old home,
all day in the forest, the beautiful, incom-
parable German forest, where the first dainty
flowers of spring commence to bloom, while
some of the grounds are still covered with
snow. It is lovely here."
If Herr Luders indulges often in poetic
flights like this, the next we shall hear will
be that he is writing his own lyrics. He is
probably looking at the scenery through the
rose-tinted glasses of his recent success in
the "Prince of Pilsen," and with the enthu-
siasm of a poet-musician. In a few weeks
the composer will return to America and will
probably convert the notes of the woodland
birds into less poetic but more satisfying notes
of good American currency.
La Calle's patriotic march, "Hail to the
Nation!" was recently programed by Gus-
tave Walter, conductor of the excellent Park
Theatre Orchestra in Brooklyn, N. Y.

Business with the publishers of popular
music is keeping right up to the mark. Not
a complaint is heard in any quarter of dull-
ness ; the "big hits" scored, quite a few now
at the flood tide of prosperity, have diffused
an air of genial content hard to disturb.
Those issuing a better class, or serious mu-
sic, confess to a period of quietness usual at
this time of the year, and which is expected
to continue until September.
