THE
a couple of days this week with Manager Homer
Howard and Assistant Manager Al Butler. This
is the first time that anyone from the home
office has visited Chicago since the starting of
the local branch, and from all reports Mr. Hager
is very well plesed with the progress being made
out here.
Joe Harris, of Chas. K. Harris, announces a
new musical comedy to be brought out at the
La Salle Theater the first week in September.
The book is by Robert E. Smith, and the lyrics
by Raymond Hubbell, the composer of "Fantana,"
"A Knight for a Day," and "Mexicana." The
stars will be Cecil Lean and Florence Holbrook,
who distinguished themselves in "The Honey-
moon Trail,"' just closed at the La Salle Theater,
and "The Soul Kiss," which had a big run in
New York last season. Mr. Harris goes to New
York to-night on a combined business and pleas-
ure trip.
A very catchy march song, "Come Back, My
Sailor Boy," the inspiration for the writing of
which was furnished by the Yankee fleet's trip
around the Horn, is being vigorously pushed by
the Miller Music Publishing Co., 294 South Her-
mitage avenue, of this city. Slides provided for
this song are taken from the photographs of the
fleet at Frisco.
THE REASON FOR THE EXCITEMENT.
Midst the boom of the cannon of Fort Hamil-
ton, which the uninitiated foolishly imagined
was a farewell salute to Commander Peary on
his start for the North Pole, Harry Von Tilzer
loomed un on Broadway early last week bowing
his acknowledgments to his numerous friends
with an easy dignity which struck reverence into
(lie heart, of our "Man on the Street," who was
endeavoring 1o look cool while New York sizzled
its joy at again seeing the composer who has
made several Milwaukee beers famous. Harry,
who was lightly attired in a linen suit (having
abjured anything woolen since his disagreement
with Lamb), paused for a moment to deny the
rumor that he was slated as one of the two hun-
dred and twenty-three candidates for the Demo-
cratic Vice-Presidency. "In the first place," said
the popular composer, "Bryan and I could not
agree. He talks too much of his own achieve-
ments, which, after all, are absolutely nil when
they are compared to my own. By the way,"
said Mr. Von Tilzer as an after-thought, "I have
just written the greatest song since—let me see

—since the last great one I wrote. You see, 1
write so many great songs that I may be par-
doned if I occasionally forget their names. Ah!
yes; this one is called 'Taffy,' and was written
for Miss Jeannette Lowrie, who is singing it this
week at Newark. It is really a wonderfully orig-
inal idea, and
" But at this moment a dog-
catcher loomed up in the distance and everybody
present nervously begged to be excused. "This
muzzling order is a damned nuisance!" muttered
Mr. Von Tilzer. "I don't seem to be able to get
a word in edgeways."
FILM SERVICE ASSOCIATION MEET.
The Film Service Association held their an
nual convention at the Prince George Hotel,
Twenty-sixth street, on Saturday last.
The organization is composed of the lessees
or renters of moving picture films and illustrated
song slides throughout the country.
The question of royalties was one of the impor-
tant matters before the convention.
Lawyers, in view of existing decisions, are at
variance as to whether royalties may be exacted
from moving pictures, and pictures accompanied
by voice "illustrations," and whether actions for
infringement of copyrighted songs may be suc-
cessfully prosecuted by the composers and au-
thors of copyrighted songs and plays.

OUR LATEST ENGLISH
BALLAD SUCCESS
Four Keys, B*>, C, Db, E*
Joseph Herbert, who arrived from London on
the Lusitania on Friday, brought with him a
new play by Arthur Branscombe, who will be re-
membered as the author of "Morocco Bound,"
produced in America at the Park Theater, Bos-
ton, late in 1901 by the late A. H. Chamberlyn,
which he will produce here in the fall. It is
called "Society Limited," and is a musical com-
edy which Mr. Herbert believes will make a big
hit in this country. One of his own musical
comedies, "The Beauty Spot," will be presented
in London either in October or November.
They Promise to Become Old Time Hits
"SEE SAW,"
and the greatest ballad in years
The members of "The Yankee Prince" company
started on a three weeks' vacation at the fall of
the curtain on Saturday night last. The com-
pany began its engagement at the Knickerbocker
Theater on April 20, and was to have continued
all summer, but owing to the extreme heat and a
press of other work, George M. Cohan decided
to give the company a little rest. The music of
the production, published by Cohan & Harris, has
been one of the season's successes.
George M. Cohan will now devote all of his
time to the rehearsals of the minstrel show, and
the last week of the three he will begin rehear-
sals of the attraction that opens the new Gaiety
Theater.
Jerome H. Remick, who lately arrived from
Gus Edwards will take his new boys' band
his home office in Detroit to spend the summer
and
several of his vaudeville acts to the outing
East will become his own New York representa-
tive in the absence of Fred Belcher, who is tak- of the Green Room Club of this city to Asbury
