Chicago, 111., March 26, 1910.
Some of the publishers and dealers say there
is a distinct revival of some of the old love bal-
lads which swept the country a quarter of a
century ago, and which had come almost to be
in the "Curfew Shall Not Ring To-night" class
because of their constant use and misuse. But
the music is of a kind that lives because it has
genuine merit, as well as the quality of catchi-
ness, and, while the lyrics are perhaps ultra-
sentimental, they are free from coarseness of
any kind. It would be interesting if one could
look a quarter of a century ahead and know
how many of the popular songs of to-day would
then be in vogue.
Sam Curtis and company, at the American
Music Hall, are featuring Feist's "Be Jolly
Molly." The Twin City Quartette are using
this week "That Italian Rag" and "Dick" Mil-
ler at the Foster Avenue Theater is singing
"Hey There, Sis."
Maurice Shapiro is expected in Chicago next
week.
Details concerning the contemplated
Shapiro store and other equally important mat-
ters will occupy Mr. Shapiro's attention.

last week, scored heavily with her songs, "Eyes,
Eyes, Eyes," "Swim, Swim, Swim," and "Miss
Manhattan," all of which were written especially
for her and are published by M. Witmark &
Sons. Frank Morrell, who enjoys more than a
local reputation as a tenor, is at the Majestic
this week making a hit with "To the End of the
World With You" and a composition of his own,
entitled "Your Mother Still Believes in You."
"Where the River Shannon Flows" was featured
quite extensively in Chicago on St. Patrick's Day.
The McKinley Music Co. have just brougnt
out several new ballads, music for all of which
is written by the indefatigable H. W. Petrie,
and they promise to add to the reputation this
Chicago composer has long enjoyed as a writer
of popular ballads of the better class. They
are as follows: "Oh, For a Thousand Tongues,"
song for baritone or contralto; "A Thousand
Fathoms Deep," "A Song That Reminds Me of
You." The McKinley Co. are also bringing out a
promising ballad entitled "Let Us Be Sweet-
hearts Again," words by Arthur Gillespie and
music by Terry Sherman.
Among the professionals in Chicago this week
singing Bob White's songs are Hoffman and
Clark, using "O, You Jeffries," "Its You, Pal,"
and "Every Girl I Get the Other Fellow Steals;"
Edna Shepard, at the Orpheum, singing "It's
You, Pal;" Herman Timberg, the violin genius,
starring with the Schooldays Co., using "Oh,
You Jeffries" and "It's You, Pal." Milton Weil
was the headliner at the Whitney Theater last
Sunday, where a mock trial was in progress,
with his two songs, "Oh, You Jeffries" and
"Every Girl I Get the Other Fellow Steals."
The following is quoted from one of the many
letters received by the Miller Music Publishing
Co. anent their 1910 song hits: "I have put
on 'Bum Outside' this week and it took the
house by storm." The Anglo Saxon Trio are
featuring "Jane, Jane, Jane," which they re-
cently added to their repertoire.
The capital stock of the Victor Kremer Co.
has just been increased from $35,000 to $50,000.
The Victor Kremer Co.'s new rag, "Sure Fire,"
id said to be eclipsing even its title. It is being
played by bands and orchestras all over the
country, and, according to the company, looks
like one of the biggest popular instrumental
successes on the market. The Kremer people
are contemplating having words written to this
number, and, no doubt, this will soon be issued
by them.
J. B. Kalver, local business manager for
Jerome H. Remick & Co., returned last week
from a four weeks' trip through the South,
Southwest and Middle West. "The dealers
realize that they have a fight on their hands to
get business," said Mr. Kalver, "and they are
coming to the scratch in an energetic manner
and are getting it." Mr. Kalver says Remick
& Co. have six of the biggest hits in the trade
to day, namely, "Silvery Moon," "Gray Bonnet,"
"Garden of Roses," "I'll Make a Ring Around
Rosie," "Santa Fe," and "That Loving Two-
Step Man." Anita Owens, of "Sweet Bunch of
Daisies," has just written another song for
Remick, entitled "Where the Daisies Blow."
MORRIS STORE IN ATLANTIC CITY.
The Jos. Morris Music Publishing Co., of Phila-
delphia and New York, will be among the firms
operating music stores in Atlantic City this sum-
mer. Their store will be situated at the corner of
the Boardwalk and St. James' Place.
COMIC OPERA BY WOMAN COMPOSER.
"The Village Countess," said to be the first
comic opera ever written by a woman, was re-
cently produced in Berlin, Germany. The com-
poser is Frau Rachel Danziger. Advices state
that the opera scored a pronounced success, the
music being melodious and including several
tuneful topical numbers.
SHAPIRO BACK FROM EASTER TRIP.
Maurice Shapiro, tae minic publisher, spent
Easter at Atlantic City, returning to this city
last Monday. The new jShapiro store at that
watering place has been open several weeks, and
has done a good business for so early in the
season. There was a falling off in activity in
most music stores during the Lenten period, but
the passing of Easter has already brought about
improvement which according to precedent should
continue through the next two months.
Jerome H. Remick, head of the music publish-
ing house bearing his name, returned to his head-
quarters in Detroit last Tuesday after spending
several days at the New York offices.
