will be restricted for a few weeks before being

melodious pen leading them all. Mr. Haviland's
engaging personality and crisp methods are not
only effective factors, but he seems to have the
good wishes of everybody, besides.
One of the most beautiful illustrated songs that
has been heard for some time is "Kate Kearney,"
by Fay and Oliver, who wrote "Good Night, Be-
loved, Good Night," "Awake, My Beloved, Awake,"
and several other ballads that have become fa-
mous. It holds a place distinctly its own. This
song may justly be termed a positive novelty on
account of the words and music and the accom-
panying pictures, the various slides showing genu-
ine Irish laddies and lassies, scenes on the Lakes
of Killarney, picturesque thatched cottages and
performers on the bag-pipes exactly as they are
seen in the Emerald Isle. "Kate Kearney" has
been sung by the leading vocalists of the coun-
try, among whom may be mentioned Chauncey
Olcott and Blanche Ring. It is a great number
for any song-act without slides, as has been
proven; but, of course, it is more appreciated with
its illustrated features. M. Witmark & Sons say
it is one of the greatest illustrated songs they
ever issued.
NOTES FROM SOL BLOOM.
BOHEMIAN KNIGHTS.
The accompanying illustration shows a reduced
reproduction of the beautiful title-page of Isidore
Greenberg's new intermezzo two-step, "Bohemian
Knights," published by M. Witmark & Sons. It
is very rarely that an intermezzo meets with the
instantaneous success that was accorded this com-
position as soon as it was published; and notwith-
standing that it has been before the public only
a short time, orchestra and band leaders every-
where are calling for it by the hundreds, and
pianists are giving it a special place on their rep-
ertoires. The music is sprightly and dashing and
far above the ordinary two-step heard in ball-
rooms. Mr. Greenberg is certainly to be con-
gratulated on the unusual merit of "Bohemian
Knights," and that it will become one of his most
famous compositions there is not the slightest
doubt.
Four numbers from Sol Bloom's catalogue are
being featured in Watson's "Black Crook" com-
pany, which is just starting out on a prolonged
tour. Miss Janette Dupre is using "Easy Street"
and "The Mormon Coon." The other two num-
bers are "The Duchess of Second Avenue" and
"My Fair Red Feather."
Sol Bloom says he has long ago given up count-
ing the number of acts which are and have been
using "A Bit o' Blarney," but new additions are
being made every day, and both vocal and instru-
mental numbers seem incapable of outgrowing
their popularity. Katherine Klare is one of the
