THE
MREVIEWftEARS
THAT our "Man on the Street" recently gave
Jerome H. Remlck a capital idea for a campaign
song. All he need do is to change one or two
words in the popular song, "Oh! Bryan Mas No
Place to Go."
THAT the Prohibition party need not go further
than Wltmark's for their campaign ditty, "I'm
on the Water Wagon NOW;"
THAT Leo Feist hag corralled the Republican
end of the game by publishing "Get on the Raft
with Taft."
THAT when "Big Bill" was shown a copy of
this song he is reported to have remarked: "The
sentiments are most complimentary, but I hope
to heaven I won't need a raft."
THAT the Republican party are now in deadly
fear of a "sinking spell."
THAT Louis Dreyfus, of the T. B. Harms Co.,
was recently much hurt that he was mentioned
in these columns as "Max Dreyfus."
THAT we tender our sincerest apologies to
"Max" for our error.
THAT A. F. Adams is back again in New York
looking after the fall business of the John Church
Co., which looks, by the way, as though it were
going to break all records, judging by some new
issues lately to hand.
THAT "A Girl at the Helm" is the title of the
new musical comedy to be produced at the
Princess Theater, Chicago, on the 30th inst. The
book is by Robert B. Smith. Music by Raymand
Hubbell. Published by Charles K. Harris.
THAT Walter Jacobs, of Boston, has issued a
charming little number, entitled "When the
Robin Sings Again."
THAT the two thousand two hundred and fifty-
fifth "official" song of the Elks has just been
completed. It is called "Hello, Bill, Are You for
Dallas?" and is written by William Glass. Our
worst hope is that the composer may never get
broke.
THAT "I'd Turn the World for You, My Love"
(Great Eastern Music Publishers) is going to be
heard a great deal this fall. It is a charming
ballad.
THAT the versatile Maurice Kirby, of Henry W.
Savage's press bureau, in a recent issue of Tips
Gus Edwards' 1908 Hits
"SEE SAW,"
" THAT'S WHAT THE ROSE SAID TO ME,"
and the greatest ballad in years
" I AH WAITING FOR THE
SUHIERTIME M D YOU."

and Tales says "Chappelle (sic) & Co., the music
publishers and authorized agents of "The Merry
Widow" score and libretto in this country, state
that over 5,000,000 copies of "The Merry Widow"
waltz have been sold in the United States."
THAT Walter Eastman, when charged with
making this assertion, was the most astonished
man this side of the Rocky Mountains.
THAT it is an interesting fact to hear direct
from the Savage office that Chappell are the au-
thorized agents for the "libretto" of this much
litigated opera.

that they had the exclusive right to place their
names on the titles of successful songs. To the
White-Smith Co., of Boston, the musical world is
indebted for the "discovery" of a young lady,
Miss Elsie G. Phelan, who bids fair to make
an enviable reputation for herself as a writer of
songs which show both merit and decided tune-
fulness. Miss Phelan halls from Somerville,
Mass., and as her name indicates is of Irish
parentage. Though little more than a girl, she
has done a great deal of professional work,
mostly on the vaudeville stage, where she met
with such success that Keith & Proctor saw in
her act the material for a novel attraction for
their circuit, where She will appear throughout
next season in what She aptly terms a "piano-
logue."
Miss Phelan received her musical education
almost entirely in Boston, where ahe early
showed a talent for composition. Her very lat-
est song is "What Makes the Thunder Sound?"
a pretty little juvenile conceit which she herself
sings in inimitable style. Of her more serious
efforts, "O'er the Dreamy Bay" is perhaps most
likely to attract universal notice. Banks M. Davi-
son, of the White-Smith Co., recently told the
writer that he regarded this song aa being one
of the very best of its kind. High praise from
dfie who but rarely allows himself to be led into
enthusiasm. "Good-bye, Sweet Day" is another
of this talented little lady's songs which sooner
or later will attain widespread popularity.
Taken all in all, the White-Smith Co., who pub-
lish all Miss Phelan's songs, are to be congratu-
lated on the confidence which they display in
exploiting new "talent," a confidence which in
the present instance, at least, is likely to be
justified.
