arrival in New York he has placed the firm's
numbers with numerous leading acts and pro-
ductions, and incidentally landed numbers with
two-thirds of the burlesque shows that started
out of New York this season. In addition to his
professional duties, as a soloist he has filled a
number of engagements with prominent bands
in this city. Only recently he appeared twice
daily at Madison Square Garden as the feature
attraction with Hill's Onondaga Band of fifty
pieces, where he scored heavily. Upon the
strength of his marked success there, he has
been engaged to sing with bands of note three
various other weeks in the near future.

songs "Under the Tropical Moon" and "Moon-
beams and Dreams of You" have never failed
to go tremendously well, in consequence of
which the firm report that the sales of these
numbers are steadily increasing.
Mr. Silver, though of small stature, has a re-

While," "Is It Very Far To Heaven?" and "Yee,
Hoo, I'm Running Wild."
HARMS CO. SCORE WITH "DAIRYMAIDS."
The new edition of "The Dairymaids," pro-
duced on Wednesday, September 18, has scored
an emphatic success, at the Criterion Theatre,
New York. The book was spruced up by M. E.
Rourke, and .a number of new songs were con-
tributed by Jerome D. Kern. These two brilliant
writers have given Charles Frohman six positive
song hits, as follows: "Hay Ride," "I've a Mil-
lion Reasons Why I Love You," "Never Marry a
Girl with Cold Feet," "Marry McGee," "I'd Like
to Meet Your Father," "Cheer Up Girls." They
are all published by T. B. Harms Co., which firm
have to be congratulated on their musical comedy
successes of the past season.
"Lazy Land," another of the new songs, and a
hit also, was written by Paul Rubens, who com-
posed the original score, published by Chappell
& Co.. Ltd.
