NOW RUNNING
Hook up your selling
forces with the big mid-
winter a d v e r t i s i n g
campaign of
"If I Catch the Guy Who Wrote Poor Butterfly"
Proving One of the Season's Hits
The new novelty song- and fox-trot, "If I
Catch the Guy Who Wrote Poor Butterfly,"
from the pens of Wm. Jerome and Arthur Green,
is meeting with no little success.
The Wm.
Jerome Publishing Corp., the publisher of the
number, was rushed with orders before it was
able to get out the regular copies and now that
it is ready to supply the demand there seems to
be no let up in the requirements of the trade.
One of the features of the publication is the
novel title page, which attracts immediate at-
tention. Inside the cover, under the title, appears
a dedication to Golden and Hubbell, the writers
of the original "Poor Butterfly" song.

One of the features of the revised Mercantile
Tax Ordinance which has been approved by the
City Commissioners at Atlantic City, N. J., is
an annual fee of $100 assessed against each
"demonstrating music store," commonly known
as Boardwalk song shops. The tax on song
shops was levied at the suggestion of the hotel
proprietors.

Cabot Ward Declares it Is One of the Essen-
tials in Inspiring Patriotism
Cabot Ward, president of the Park Board of
New York City, believes that music has a real
place in war, and serves to inspire patriotism
as does no other factor.
"The spirit of the North," he said, "crystal-
lized around the words of 'John Brown's
Body'; the spirit of the South around 'Dixie.'
A music hall song which offered opportunity
for common sentiment was the rallying cry of
the British as they went forth to die in the
battle of the Marne singing 'Tipperary.' Noth-
ing in life can so quickly weld the hearts of
a body of people as joining together in song."
The Estate of Hamilton A. Gordon, music
publishers, will shortly release a new patriotic
number entitled "Unfurl the Flag," with words
by John Butler and music by Alberta Himan.
The title page will be of patriotic design and
will be quite attractive in appearance. The
above company is also the publisher of the suc-
cessful number "We're All for Uncle Sam,"
which was recently given a new title page and
which is having a very good sale at present.
