Stern & Co., the publishers, have heard from this
great song by Cole and Johnson (originally in-
troduced by Fay Templeton), from almost every
quarter of the globe. It. appears to be a uni-
versal hit.
SOL BLOOM'S SONG SUCCESSES.
One of the best known Irish talking and sing-
ing acts in the business is that of Daly & O'Brien,
in which Kitty O'Brien, who is the female half of
the team, warbles a number of Sol Bloom's pub-
lications, including S. Clarence Engel's Hibernian
hymn, "Cleopatra Slattery."
Anna Laughlin, whose fame as the "Kansas
Kid" in the "Wizard of Oz," has penetrated to the
uttermost corners of the country, has recently
made a very successful step from musical comedy
to vaudeville, and is using very successfully Ray-
mond A. Browne and Henry Clay Smith's dainty
ditty, "Come Back," which is published by Sol
Bloom.-
Emma Carus, who is probably the best known
female baritone in the United States, having
been the principal member of such companies as
the "Medal and the Maid," "Woodland," etc., has
gone back to vaudeville, and is featuring with
great success Sol Bloom's publications, ''I Wants
a Man to Love Me All the Time" and "Carissima,"
the first of which was written by Raymond A.
Browne, and the latter by Arthur A. Penn.
DEATH OF A. F. STEIBER.
A. F. Steiber, for twenty-five years manager of
the Chicago branch of the White-Smith Music
Publishing Co., died November 8 at his home in
that city. His death, which was extremely sud-
den and unexpected, was due to pneumonia. He
had a big following of friends, who extremely re-
gret the passing away of this popular gentleman.
John T. Imbrie, who for a time was engaged in
the music business, died at St. Joseph, Mo., No-
vember 15. He was sixty years of age.
