THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
"POOR BUTTERFLY" A SUCCESS
HARRIS SONGSJN DEMAND
Hippodrome Number Selling All Over the
Country—An Unusual Record
Late Hits and Old Favorites Are Being Or-
dered in Large Quantities
One of the surprising features of the fall
season in the music publishing Held has been
the success throughout the country.of "Poor
Butterfly," the operatic number from The Big
Show, now playing at the Hippodrome. Not
merely the fac£ that the song is a success, but
that . it enjoys a,- heavy sale simultaneously
throughout the country in so short a space of
time is an unusual feature so far as the his-
tory of operatic numbers is concerned. Oper-
atic numbers, of course, have in the past been
among the heaviest sellers during any one sea-
son, but always with the assistance of numer-
ous road shows. "Poor Butterfly" to-day Is
keeping the publishing and shipping facilities of
T. B. Harms & Francis, Day & Hunter, the
publishers of the song, pushed to their utmost
capacity to fill the heavy demand. There is
food for thought here, for if it can be dis-
covered how the popularity of "Poor Butterfly"
traveled across the continent, without aid, the
idea should be capitalized.
"Come Back" (Let's Be Sweethearts Once
More), is following in the footsteps of the pre-
vious ballads from the pen of Chas. K. Harris,
in that it is a steady seller month after month,
and it will probably take its place among those
Harris songs that sell year after year.
It may not be generally known, but a visit
to the Harris office will prove the statement
that some of the songs of long ago, such as
"After the Ball," "Always in the Way," and
"Just Break the News to Mother," are still
heavy sellers, and the numbers of copies of
those old songs shipped from the office of Chas.
K. Harris wpuld surprise many an old-time*
who thinks the good old days and the good old
songs are hasbeens.

"THE FOX TRAIL" FOR CHRISTMAS
Bright Little House Organ of Sam Fox Pub.

The Christmas number of "The Fox Trail,"
the bright little house organ, issued by the Sam
Fox Publishing Co., Cleveland, under the edi-
torship of R. O. Weiss, comes to hand full of
bright matter appropriate for the Christmas sea-
son, and likewise for any other season of the

things, a memorial edition of "The Prayer Per-
fect," by James Whitcomb Riley, together with

news about the dealers.
The latest entry in the catalog of the A. J.
Stasny Music Co. is a new song, "The Same Old
