A NEW COHAN MARCH SONG.
George M. Cohan's new show, "The Little Mil-
lionaire," of which he wrote the book, the lyrics
and the music, and in which he himself will star,
opens at the Broadway Theatre on September 23
after a tryout in Hartford, Conn. The big num-
ber of the piece will be a new march song en-
titled, "Any Place the Old Flag Flies."
Music, in its mode of expression, is intelligible,
not to the musician aleme, but to the common
sense of all; nor is there any fundamental sense
between the music of a popular ballad, of a fugue
by Bach, or of a symphony by Beethoven. Al-
though the more intricate composition may be less
intelligible, the means of expression are in every
case the same.—Hauptmann.

MREVIEWflEARS
THAT the musical comedy season is now in full
swing and the publishers of production music will
soon begin to feel the demand.
THAT it is the road shows that bring in the
orders to the publisher.
THAT a band leading the garment workers divi-
sion in the Labor Day parade was playing "The
Harp That Once Thro' Tara's Halls." Get it?
THAT the ragtime dances are still proving decid-
edly popular but that the ballad is also showing
up strongly the present season.
THAT "They Always Pick on Me," the latest
Harry Von Tilzer number, is showing up remark-
ably well, and much is expected of it.
THAT many of the other song writers are won-
dering how Harry Von Tilzer keeps up the pace.
THAT if the destructiveness of the "dominant
note" is really understood, there'll be some jobs
for composers with the Black Hand.
THAT J. A. Roach, the Hinds, Noble & Eldredge
salesman, is doing some big things on his Pacific
Coast trip.
THAT the Head Music Publishing Co. are put-
ting over several possible successors to "That
Railroad Rag."
THAT Edgar Selden is taking a short respite
from business and enjoying a rest at Montauk.
THAT the E. T. Paull Music Co. will soon have
a new inarch ready for the trade. 'Nuff sed.
STEPP, MEHLINGER AND KING!
When one knows that an act
works 52 weeks in the year,
that's pretty conclusive
evidence that it must be
"some act". They are the
original cafe entertainers.
Their headline song for
this season is
" H O N E Y M A N "
It is quite a compliment to
have an act of this character
select a number as their
feature and it comes pretty
near clinching our former
statement that "HONEY MAN"
is going to be,—no, it i s , —
one of the new season's big-
gest hits.
