REVIEW
THAT the coming Friars Frolic should afford
song writers an unusual opportunity for putting
over their latest numbers under most acceptable
conditions.
THAT Rudolph E. Schirmer, head of the music
publishing house of G. Schirmer, was married
last week to Miss Ann Swinburne, a prominent
concert singer.
THAT the wave of higher prices has at last
reached the members of the trade who like to
have their pictures in the papers. On April 1
the price of cuts was practically doubled.
THAT the song with the most brilliant or ex-
pensive title page is not necessarily the greatest
hit. Watch and see.
THAT the Associated Song Writers of America
have proven that the organization is alive by a
most elaborate and enjoyable dinner held last
week.
THAT a correspondent wants to know just why
the word "blues" is such a popular part of a
number of instrumental pieces such as "The
Memphis Blues," the "Kansas City Blues," etc.
It is certainly not indicative of the character of
the melody.

Great Success Expected for "Mother Mavour-
neen," a Clever Number by George Graff, Jr.,
and George H. Gartlan.
Leo Feist, Inc., has just accepted for publica-
tion a brand new Irish song entitled "Mother
Mavourneen," which, according to those respon-
sible for the selection of the number, is destined
to be one of the greatest songs of its kind ever
written. "Mother Mavourneen" is by George
Graff, Jr., with music by George H. Gartlan, and
is unusual both in quality of the music and the
melody. Mr. Graff, by the way, was responsible
for the lyrics of "Wake Up, America." one of the
recent Feist successes.

GORDON PUBLISHES WAR=S0NG
With a brilliant red, white, and blue patriotic
cover and a refrain that catches the ear, the new
war-song "We's All for Uncle Sam," has been pub-
lished by Hamilton S. Gordon. A big window
sign, patterned after the cover, is going out to
dealers. Nobody short of a blind man can pass it
without a couple of looks. The song is by James
Wells and Walter J. Pond.
The Concordia Music House Co., of St. Louis,
Mo., has recently added H. S. McGuire to its
sales staff.
