THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW

Copies of
"Century Edition"
were sold in 1916!
Best music procurable—plus
national advertising— plus
dealers* co-operation—
were three great factors that
made "Century's" year a record
breaker!
It's a mighty interesting prop-
osition.

Increasing Business Serves to Give Millegram
Publishing Co. Unusual Distinction
The Carl Millegram Publishing Co., Inc.,
have what is said to be the only roof garden
professional studios in the music publishing
world. The offices of the company, which are
on the top floor of 25 West Forty-fifth street,
proved inadequate to the demands, so Chas.
Miller, head of the company, acquired the roof
to be used as studios. Not only is there fresh
air and sunshine, but also a stage has been
provided, making it one of the most inviting
professional departments in the city. Bob Rus-
sak, formerly with the Broadway Music Corp.,
is in charge of the professional department.

Geo. L. Weitz Receiving Many Favorable Com-
ments on Musical Setting Composed for
"America"—Number Proving Very Popular
The American National Hymn, the music of
which was written by Geo. L. Weitz, and which
was recently announced in The Review, has
been enthusiastically endorsed by all those who
have heard it.
Mr. Weitz is in receipt of a
large number of congratulatory letters from his
many friends in the trade.
The present music to which "My Country,
'Tis of Thee," is sung is also used by the Eng-
lish for "God Save the King," and by the Ger-
mans for other words. It was Mr. Weitz's idea
to produce a dignified musical setting to these
words that would be entirely American in its
origin.
He has well succeeded in the work
that he has published, for it is an excellent piece
of music with a prelude, and is the kind of
music that lasts, and is in no sense a momen-
tary flash. As to the "American-ness" of the
author, all those who know Mr. Weitz in the
trade know of his fine patriotism.
The idea
of an entirely American national anthem is not
new with Mr. Weitz, but is a subject upon
which he has worked for the past two years.
A SUCCESSFUL^COON SONG
The Win. Jerome Publishing Corp. have one
of the best Southern coon songs released in
some time in their late addition to their catalog
entitled "Cotton Pickin' Time in Alabam'," the
work of Daly and Cool. Numerous profes-
sional singers are using the number to close
their acts, which speaks well for the song.

NEW SONG BY VAN AND SCHENCK
Chas. K. Harris Accepts New Patriotic Num-
ber Entitled "Miss America"
Chas. K. Harris, who accepted the song from
the pens of Gus Van and Joe Schenck entitled
"Miss America" and who delayed publishing the
same until a demand had been created for the
song will release the number in the next ten
days.
The song, which is now being sung by its
authors, has been well received, and dealers are
writing in asking for the number. It is of a
patriotic order and very appropriate in these
stirring times.
