MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
MREVIEWflEARS
THAT following the lead of the actor people, sev-
eral prominent song writers have fallen for the
lure of the "movies," among them the old-time
team of Jerome & Schwartz, who have signed up
with the Keystone people.
THAT from a financial standpoint the writing of
words and music for "pictures" appears to hold
considerable possibilities.
THAT Irving Berlin has completed the score of
Charles Dillingham's new Hippodrome production,
"Stop, Look, Listen."
THAT the giving of useful articles instead of
prize cups in song contests should serve to stimu-
late song pluggers to fresh efforts.
THAT Theodore Morse has risen to the occasion
and written an excellent new march-song called
"Soldier Boy," which is declared to be fully equal
to "Dolly Grey" of some years ago.
THAT Earl Carroll is no longer connected with
M. Witmark & Sons, and has not yet announced
any new affiliation.
THAT the first New York performance of Victor
Herbert's new operetta, "The Princess Pat," is
scheduled for September 27.
THAT the flood of Irish songs appears to be in-
creasing rather than decreasing, and, strange to
say, the majority of the numbers are really worth
while, which cannot be said about many of the new
Hawaiian numbers.

FEIST WEEKjUHG SUCCESS.
Dealers Make Surprising, Strong Response in
Campaign Carried on by Feist House.
The present week has been Feist Week, as desig-
nated by the widespread advertising of the house
of Leo Feist, Inc., in the trade papers and genera'
magazines of large circulation, and the executive^
of the house have been thoroughly well satisfied
with the manner in which the retailers responded
in co-operating in the sales campaign.
It was suggested that the dealers stock up with
the four numbers featured in the campaign, name-
ly, "Norway," "Come Back, Dixie," "All I Can Do
Is Just Love You," and "When You're in Love
With Someone," in order to secure the full benefit
of the publicity, and a surprising number saw the
light and ordered liberally. The normal orders for
the four songs began to increase rapidly early last
week, with the result that Friday, September 10,
broke the record of the Feist house in the volume
of orders received and filled in one day.
On Monday of this week, following the large ad-
vertisement in the magazines on Sunday, over a
score of telegraph orders were received from deal-
ers, and more came later in the week. Both in
the volume of publicity involved and in the re-
sponse from the trade this latest Feist campaign
has been and is a remarkable one.
SOMETHING FIERCE.
"I hear that new act at the Jollity is very shock-
ing."
"Yeah. It ought to be playing on the shir 1 ,
circuit."
