fore of quite pronounced Indian motif. They
are also, especially because of their timeliness,
very effective as advertisements of certain
music instruments handled by the Birkel Co.
Mr. Cadman specializes in compositions in-
terpretative of Indian folk-song, and aside from
his success as a composer he has won an en-
viable reputation throughout the country for his
recital work and his most interesting talks on
the American Indian's music—"Indian Music-
Talks," as he calls his entertainments. His first
great success in the composing field was with
his song, "From the Land of the Sky-Blue
Water," which sprang instantly into popularity
following its rendition by Madame Nordica in
1909. He has also been widely represented by
his choral compositions, "Four American In-
dian Songs," "The Morning of the Year" and

CHICAGO, III., May 18.—A good thing that the
McKinley Music Co. has put over recently is
the revival of "I Don't Want to Play in Your
Yard" (Petrie).
"We are getting calls for this old favorite
from all over the country," said Mr. Foster.
"The older generation recall it, of course, and
encourage it, and the young people have re-
sponded to it as enthusiastically as did their
parents years ago."
"When Shadows Fall" and "Darlin' " continue
to be the two concert song successes, and are
proving to be standard sellers wherever dealers
cater to a prominent and well established trade.
Sophie Tucker is reported as continuing to
make a big hit with "I Ain't Got Nobody," and
certainly the song and the artist are well
matched, for when it conies to the "pleasure-
pain" type of song Sophie Tucker can put it
over in the "blues"-iest manner possible, and
she never fails to make a hit.
Other McKinley hits are "My Fox-trot Girl,"
"That Cabaret in Honolulu Town," "The Hour
of Memory" (Humoresque), "Avalon" and
"Paradise Blues," the last two numbers being
big sellers on Columbia and Victor records.
Two mighty fine lyrics are "If You Have Never
Been in Dreamland You Have Never Been in
Love" and "You Can't Put the Beauty Back in
the Rose After it Quivers and Dies."
A brand-new number of the "Pretty Baby"
type is now on the McKinley fires, and a big
future for it this summer is confidently pre-
dicted. It is entitled "Sweet Cookie, Mine."
With the wave of patriotism that is sweeping
across the country the McKinley Co. is keeping
the pace and is pushing two dandy military num-
bers. One is "America First," and the other
is "When the .Bonnie, Bonnie Heather Is
Blooming I'll Return, Annie Laurie, to You."
A few numbers of the Jazz variety are "I Love
That Lovable Melody," "On the Rockin' Rosa
Lee," "Stepping on the Puppy's Tail" and "From
Now On Let Me Miss You."

Many of Mr. Cadman's songs are reproduced
on Victor records, and ajso on rolls for the Duo-
Art Pianola, the latter as hand-played by the
composer himself, for Mr. Cadman is a master
pianist as well as composer, while in his recitals
he consistently uses the Steinway piano. The
Birkel Co.'s windows naturally featured these
instruments, for which it is the local represen-
tative, as well as the composer's sheet music.
The accompanying illustration shows one of the
series of window displays and indicates their
character.
The McKinley Co. has not advanced its 10-
cent music, and is one of the very few music
publishing houses that has not been obliged to
demand the increase. The company felt that
despite the increased cost it would forego mak-
ing an advance in order to continue the liberal
profit that the dealer enjoys now.
