PUBLISHERS OF
May Irwin's Great Hit of this Season,
"DON'T
ARGIFY"
Bjr John B. Lowitz (Swifty).
Elizabeth Murray's Great Success,
"PEGGY
SHEA"
By Arthur Gillespie and Paul Schindler.
And the New Summer Waltz Song,
"HELLO
PEACHES"
By John B. Lowitz and Henry Arthur Blumenthal.
For a limited time the above can be had at 80% from
list price.
A gentle hint
to Dealers.
Jerome H. Remick & Co. will supply all the
vocal numbers for "Bankers and Brokers," the
musical comedy in which Yorke and Adams will
jointly star next season, and also Florence Bind-
ley's new play. The titles of the Remick songs,
which are to be featured in these two produc-
tions, will be announced later.
F. B. HAVILAND & CO.'S NUMBERS.
The Noble Sisters are using "Keep On the
Sunny Side," "The Good Old U. S. A." and "Oh,
What a Night to Spoon," and take their encores
with "Keep on the Sunny Side."
The Two Kings, Green Sisters, Lew Davenport
and Mabel Bennett continue to sing "Keep on
the Sunny Side," and say it is the best they have
had.
The big feature act at the New York Roof
Garden is Sylvester Jones Pringle and Morrell
using "Crocodile Isle."
Lillian Burt features "Keep on the Sunny
Side" and "Good Old U. S. A.," and, as usual,
they go big.
"Take a Little Ride with Me" is the new sex-
tette song by Drislane and Morse, and is already
in great demand for big numbers. The foregoing
are published by F. B. Haviland Publishing Co.
Everybody is Singing
"The Stars, The Stripes and You"
Words by Geo. J. Greene and E. P. Moran. Music by Justin Wheeler.
M. WITMARK <& SONS, Publishers,
WHERE WITMARK HITS ARE HEARD.
The success of "The Stars, the Stripes and
You," that stirring patriotic and exceedingly mu-
sical song, has been a regular landslide. Top line
artists who are quick to secure novelties, and who
are already featuring this are: Frank Coffin,
Franklin Wallace, Autm Loftus, Geo. Gale, Miss
Hartshorn, Benesch Sisters, Helen Dexter, Par-
ker Sisters, Anita Heckler, Miss Coggswell, Wm.
Bonelli, World's Comedy Trio, E. A. Barlap, Percy
Walling, S. A. Newman, Max Rogers, Sydney
Dean, W. J. Thorne, Richard Downes, Geoffrey
O'Hara and George McCabe.
The patrons of the New York roof gardens are
enjoying the songs furnished by Lloyd Pedrick
to the fullest, from the way they applaud, "My
Pals Are My Pipe and Stein" and "Will You Love
Me in December as You Do in May?"
The Chinese baritone, Lee Fung Foo, who is
such a novelty in the amusement world, is mak-
ing a specialty of the Witmark songs, "Love Me
and the World Is Mine," "My Pals Are My Pipe
and Stein" and "If You Only Knew."
The Musical Monarchs are constantly adding to
their successes with the Witmark headliners,
"Will You Love Me in December as You Do in
May?" "Take Me to Your Heart Again," "Only
a Message from Home, Sweet Home," and "Love
Me and the World Is Mine."
Sylvester, Jones, Pringle and Morrell, the
comedy artists, who constitute the New York
Theatre Quartette, are doing "Bill Simmons," in
great style.
The Primrose Minstrels are always sure of a
rousing welcome, and one of the most encored of
their members is Aubrey Gates, the tenor, who
sings with such marked expression, "If I
Should" and "Love Me and the World Is Mine."
The latest issues from M. Witmark & Sons
follows: Vocal—"The Golden Chain," by Caro
Roma; "My Word, What a Lot of It," by Dave
Reed, Jr.; "On the Shady Side," by Clifton Craw-
ford; "The Only Way to Live" (from "The Man
from Now"), by Mamie Klein; "A Snug Little
Bug in a Rug," by Billy Johnson; "Invitation,"
by Anita Owen; "Everything Is Rosy, Rosie," by
Seymour Furth. Instrumental—"Twilight," ser-
enade, by Gaylord Barrett; "Elysia," waltz lente,
by George Bislan; "Yosemite," intermezzo, by
Leland S. Barton.
Some big "hits" are under way for fall.
