The Francis, Day & Hunter Music Publishing
Co. are to be heartily congratulated on the ac-
quisition of those popular song writers, William
Jerome and Jean Schwartz, authors of "My Irish
Molly O," and a number of other tremendous hits.
A new one now on the press and one bound to
carry the town by storm is a catchy Irish melody,
"Sweet Anastasia Brady," a summer novelty
waltz song. "Float Me, Charlie," by the same
authors, is expected to win no small measure of
approval. A beautiful Scottish ballad has just
been written by Harry Sander and Gerald Graf-
ton, named "I Love a Lassie" or "Ma Scotch
Bluebell." This piece is well written and bound
to meet with a large demand in musical circles.
"Oh, Eliza, Save a Little for Me," a comic coon
song, and "Bridget," another new Irish song—
all published by the Francis, Day & Hunter Co.—
show particular merit.
"Cheyenne" has taken vaudeville audiences by
storm, and the success of this spirited Remick
number is as irresistible as a tidal wave. Among
the many artists who are featuring it are the Si'x
Musical Cuttys, at Hammerstein's Victoria; Van
Alstyne and Henry, at Proctor's 23d street house,
New York, Trask and Howard and Louise Mon-
trose. This last-mentioned entertainer is using
the song in conjunction with her "Auto Girls,"
and is also featuring "Why Don't You Try?"—
another Remick novelty song—as a "Chaser."
Like "Cheyenne" the latter is fast winning its
way to popularity, according to that best of all
indications—the frequency with which one hears
it whistled and hummed about town.

The new ballad, "When the Old Mill Screan is
Sleeping," now being sung by Gra Weller, of
Lew Dockstader's Minstrels, is meeting with
great success, which adds another number to the
long list of hits to the credit of Willis Wood-
ward Co. this season. Another song on the or-
der of "Sweet Sixteen," written by the same
artists, Sam M. Lewis and Dave Rose, is "We'll

earmarks of a popular favorite. "You Look So
Good to Me," a dainty swing song, by George
Rosey, looks like a winner.
