duplicate the popularity of his famous "Nancy
Brown,' 1 the first song to bring him fame as a
composer. From Philadelphia, where the company
is at present playing, one of the large department
stores has sent in an order for it nearly every day
for a week, which surely is as healthy a sign as
one could wish for.
Mr. Crawford sings it in the last act of the piece,
surrounded by a bevy of beautiful girls, and the
audience is never satisfied until he has responded
to at least a half dozen encores.
"That Little Lamb Was Me" can be counted on
as one of the successes of the season and is
published by M. Witmark & Sons.

"To-night's the Night," the latest London mu-
sical comedy success, was presented for the first
time in the United States in New Haven Monday
evening by the London Gaiety Co., which arrived
here from London about a week ago. The produc-
tion is a most elaborate one and the music is said
to be particularly attractive. The music is the
work of Paul A. Rubens, who also collaborated
with Percy Greenbank in writing the lyrics. The
piece was well received at the initial performance
in New Haven, and vas brought to the. Shubert
Theater, New York, on Christmas Eve for a
lengthy run. An extended review of the piece will
appear in these columns next week. The score of
"To-night's the Night" is published by Chappel 1 .

of the piece divides interest with the music, which
is declared to be some of the best that Ivan Caryll
has written, and includes several numbers that have
won popularity on their own account as individual
selections.
One of the most popular of the instrumental
numbers of the show is the fox-trot, which ar-
rived at a time when the fox-trot had become the
dance of the hour. The general arrangement of
the piece makes it particularly desirable as an ac-
companiment to the dance, and it is being used in
number of the prominent dancing palaces in
New York and vicinity. The music is published
by Chappell & Co.
