A woman asked a man the other day if he
had heard "the great lady composer" who had
been giving concerts in this country. He re-
plied that he did not know there was a great
lady composer. "O, yes," the woman retorted;
"she is an Englishwoman. She has been pre-
senting her own compositions at concerts here,
and one of them is just grand. You must have
heard of it—it is a title everybody is familiar
with. I recollect it now—it is 'The Persian
Lamb.' "

THE MUSIC MIRROR
The F. B. Haviland Publishing Co. has in
press a new march ballad, the title of which is,
"I'll March in April with May," by Drislane and
Meyer. The Haviland house have now eight
new songs as their offerings for 1910, ranging in
character through the novelty numbers, jungle
songs, ballads, and so on, and it would seem to
be impossible that there should not be some pro-
nounced successes among them.
Meyer Cohen, general manager for Chas. K.
Harris, says: "Without doubt Mr. Harris' new
descriptive ballad, "In the City Where Nobody
Cares," will be the biggest success, since his
"Would You Care?" Mr. Cohen ought to know
something about the promise shown by songs,
having been a successful singer of Harris and
other ballads. The new ballad was issued two
weeks ago, and on the first day it was sung in
2,") popular-priced vaudeville houses in New York
alone. The department store which The Review
mentioned recently as having featured words
and music in its newspaper advertising reported
to Mr. Harris that it had immense sales.
The Head Music Publishing Co. has just is-
sued a little folder, which gives on the front
cover a fac-simile of the title page of that firm's
comic song, "The Old Man's Getting Younger
Every Day," showing Lew Dockstader, who is
singing this song in his minstrel show, in "black-
face" and also "as himself." The back cover is
in fac-simile of the title page of "Without You
the World Don't Seem the Same," the ballad
which is being successfully sung by W. H.
Thompson, of Dockstader's Minstrels, and by
many other artists. Inside the folder are ex-
cerpts from both songs. These circulars are be-
ing widely distributed in places of amusements,
