Leo Feist, Inc., publish several of the more suc-
cessful of the musical numbers in the "Follies of
1912" now running at the Moulin Rouge, New
York. Among the numbers are "I am Wise, Wise,
Wise," "Hooligan Glide," "Gee! You're a Pretty
Girl" and a new song used by Bert Williams, en-
titled "My Landlady." The words of "My Land-
lady" are by Marisch and Brimm and the music

ive manner.
The Feist house is also experiencing an excel-
lent demand for the numbers in Fiske O'Hara's
production, "The Rose of Kildare." The songs are
"The Rose of Kildare," "Pictures in the Firelight"
and "There's Only One Ireland."
NEW MASCAGNI OPERA
The Score of Which Is by d'Annunzio, Has No
Overture—There Will Be Over 280 People
in the Chorus.
The anxiously awaited Mascagni-d'Annunzio
opera Paris-ina, the story of a Paris workgirl,
is now completed and the famous Italian com-
poser has allowed himself to be interviewed. Mas-
cagni says it is to have of chorus of 280. Of
1,730 verses penned by d'Annunzio, Mascagni had
to strike out 250, and he did his work so deftly
that the poet remarked: 'I could not have cut the
book better myself."
Masicagni thinks the second act the best. It con-
tains a record duet between Ugo and Parisina,
which takes thirty-five minutes to sing. The opera
will have mo overture.

can tenor, has programmed five new songs which

Dear," by Benjamin Jefferson. All the numbers
mentioned are published by M. Witmark & Sons.
WEIRD JAPANESE MUSIC.
Used at the Funeral of the Late Emperor* of
Japan.
In the detailed accounts of the Mikado's funeral
nothing is more impressive than the reference to
the use of music made by the Japanese to empha-
size the mournfulness of the occasion. "The eerie
sounds of the native funeral music, to which es-
pecially the small flute-like bamboo hichiriki, with
its inconceivably plaintive and penetrating notes,
gave a weird effect, not unlike that of the high
notes of the Scottish bagpipes, heralded the ap-
proach of the cortege to the waiting throng that
filled the great space outside tfte bridge. The blaz-
ing pine torches, the rise and fall of the sighing,
wailing notes of the native instruments, the
rhythmic movements of the soldiers and the slow
tread of hundreds of men upon the pebble-covered
roads * * * the whole moving through a literal
sea of human beings, with not a sound but th
music and an occasional hysterical sob, offered a
scene wonderful for its intense impressiveness.
The great city was almost as silent as the grave
itself."
A weirdly Oriental detail was the two-wheeled
vehicle on which thie coffin was placed. The wheels
of this car were so constructed as to make seven
different melancholy creaking sounds as they re-
volved, this effect being the exclusive art of a
family of carpenters at Kyoto, whose forefathers
have constructed many a bier for the Imperial
court.
