Palace of Dreams

The Curious Experience of Leo Feist, Inc., in
Connection with an Interpolated Number in
"The Quaker Girl"—Wrong Title in Program
Kills First Season's Sales.
If ycm were a successful publisher of popular
and production music and you had the rights to
an interpolated number which was one of the hits
of musical comedy success, and if you didn't sell
the first trial edition of the song throughout the
first season because it was listed in the program
under another title, wouldn't it JAR you and
make you somewhat peeved?
That's just what happened to the house of Leo
Feist, Inc., in connection with the song "Just a
Little Word Unspoken," and interpolated in "The
Quaker Girl," the English musical comedy which
is now enjoying its second season of success in
this country. During the first season the number
took the fancy of the audiences in great shape and
the music dealers in the cities where the produc-
tion appeared were swamped with demands for
"Sweethearts Again," the name under which the
interpolated number was programed. It was not
until recently that the Feist Boston man discov-
ered the mix-up in the programing and had the
matter straightened out. The strength of the de-
mand for "Just a Little Word Unspoken" since
the members of "The Quaker Girl" audiences
are in a position to learn the name of the piece
correctly is sufficient to bring tears to the eyes
of Sales Manager Bitner when he thinks of the
sales that have been missed. It was an unfor-
tunate but unintentional mistake, but it will be a
long time before the Feist house gets stung again
in the same way.
POST CARD SONGS A SUCCESS.
Original Compositions Presented in That Form
by Harold and Helen Ballou, of Seattle,
Wash., Strike the Popular Fancy at Once.
Harold and Helen Ballou, 401 Maritime Build-
ing, Seattle, Wash., originators and composers
of the post-card songs, announce that the cards
have met with immediate favor and that the de-
mand has increased to a surprising degree. In
the first place the cards themselves are attractive
in appearance; the music, composed especially for
use on the cards, is of original character and
excellent in every particular and the printing is
of a quality that brings out the words and notes
clearly and legibly. In the extensive catalog that
has already been compiled and which is steadily
growing, there are to be found clever little songs
suitable to a great variety of occasions and bear-
ing sentiments of affection -and friendship ex-
pressed in a thoroughly enjoyable manner. A
majority of those who have secured some of the
cards have begun to make collections of post-card
songs and thereby secure a desirable addition to
their respective music libraries. The cards simply
represent good music offered in a new form.
