at Production of "Chu Chin Chow" in New
York—Will Open Some Time in October
Edward B. Perkins' musical show, "The Red
Clock," is receiving its final finishing touches at
the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, N. Y. On
account of the production being built on a very
huge scale it was necessary to procure the larg-
est stage that could be found hereabouts. The
Carl Millegram Publishing Co., Inc., have made
all arrangements to have their salesmen repre-
sent them at Buffalo and other cities where
"The Red Clock" will play preparatory to its
New York premiere. They will issue twelve
of the best numbers in the production.
An-
nouncement of the titles will appear in an early
issue of The Review. Carl Miller, of the Mille-
gram Co., is working night and day getting out
the orchestrations for the above production.
Gustave Ferrari, formerly conductor for grand
opera at Covent Garden and for the last four
years musical director for Oscar Asche at His
Majesty's Theatre in London, arrived in Amer-
ica yesterday aboard an American steamship.
He has been leading the orchestra of the big
production, "Chu Chin Chow," in the British
capital, and will take charge of the music in that
attraction at its opening here.
"Chu Chin Chow" will be produced by Elliot,
Comstock & Gest, and is booked to open at the
Manhattan Opera House about the middle of
October. The score and musical numbers of
the show will be published by Jos. W. Stern
& Co., and it looks as if that house has corralled
one of the biggest successes of the season. The
music is all of original theme, and is said to be
startling for its originality and melodious appeal.
Among other numbers which should win im-
mediate favor are "The Cobbler's Song," "Cor-
raline" and the "Javanese Dance."
After a run of seven weeks at Powers Theatre,
Chicago, Ralph Herz appeared in New York in
the capacity of actor-producer and scored an
instant success. The piece he presented at the
Hudson Theatre on Labor Day is called "Good-
Night, Paul," and it proved to be just what
Broadway is looking for. The situations are
unusual and ludicrous and generally mirth-pro-
voking, and a typical first-night audience ex-
pressed its delight and approval in no uncertain
fashion. "Good-Night, Paul" has the distinction
of a very small cast, but as all the people com-
posing it have been very judiciously selected,
that fact is all the more agreeable. Mr. Herz is
supported by Audrey Maple, Louise Kelley, Bur-
rell Barbarette, Frank Lalor and Elizabeth
Murray.
The music of "Good-Night, Paul" is written by
Harry B. Olsen, who, with Roland Oliver's as-
sistance, has sprinkled the lively action of Chas.
Dickson's entertaining story with half-a-dozen or
more substantial song hits. The biggest musical
success of the piece apparently is "Renie Weenie,
Lovey Dovey," which got more vociferous ap-
plause than any single number on Broadway this
season. Elizabeth Murray's song, "Poor Mary
Ann O'Shea," was another hilarious hit—it's a
capital bit of Irish-Hawaiian nonsense of the
first water. Other successful numbers included
"1 Like You," "Purity," "Constancy," "I've Given
My Heart to You, Dear" and "Sleep, My Dar-
ling." All these numbers are published by M.
Witmark & Sons.
'BUBBLES" PROVING A HIT
Silvio Hein's charming instrumental number,
"Bubbles," is now, from all reports, one of the
best sellers in the country. This •number will
shortly be rendered as a song in a well-known
New York production.
"I'M A GOOD. KIND MAMA,
LOOKIN'FOR A LOVIN 1 M A N "
" I AIN'T GOT NOBODY MUCH"
AND NOBODY CARES FOR ME
"SWEET COOKIE MINE"
"WHEN SHADOWS FALL"
"LET'S GO BACK TO DREAMY
LOTUS LAND"
"PARADISE BLUES"
TO SUPERVISE ARMY MUSIC
Committee Has Been Formed to Direct Musical
Activities in the Army and Navy
The first meeting of the committee for the
supervision of music in the army and navy was
held last week at the offices of Lee F. Hanmer
in the Sage Foundation Building. Four mem-
bers of the committee have already been ap-
proved by the Commission on Training Camp
Activities, and it is expected that a fifth mem-
ber, who probably will be a representative from
the navy, will be named shortly. The members
already approved are W. Kirkpatrick Brice,
treasurer of the New York Community Chorus,
who will head the committee; Lee F. Hanmer,
of the War Department's Commission on Train-
ing Camp Activities; Max Morgenthau, a nephew
of former Ambassador Henry Morgenthau, and
John Alden Carpenter, the Chicago composer.
Miss Frances Brundage, of the Chicago Civic
Music Association, has been named secretary
of the new committee.
"The members of the committee will be di-
rectly responsible for all musical activities not
only in the army and navy, but in the Red Cross
and ambulance service as well," said Mr. Mor-
genthau. "Our work will be not only in this
country, but in the camps abroad; in fact, wher-
ever men in the United States service are sta-
tioned.
"It is proposed to issue an official army and
navy song book for distribution among United
States forces. Selection of appropriate pieces
is now being made by competent persons, and
if they meet with our approval early printing
undoubtedly will be authorized. Our purpose
is merely to provide the stimulus for community
singing, and we hope to carry this out into every
regiment and company in the army. For group
singing in the large camps we will provide suit-
able leaders. Another duty of the committee
will be to organize and provide for proper
bands in the army and navy."

Leo Feist, Inc., have just purchased the pub-
lishing rights to "You're as Dear to Me as Dixie
Was to Lee," the product of the pens of the
Misses Campbell and which has long been ad-
vertised as "The Misses Campbell's Southern
Song Success." The Misses Campbell are well-
known song and dance entertainers and have fea-
tured the above song for the past two seasons
on their tour over the high-class vaudeville cir-
cuits.
FEATURED AT THE WINTER GARDEN
"When You Were the World to Me," the new
ballad which the Wm. Jerome Publishing Corp.
is issuing, was introduced at last Sunday's con-
cert at the Winter Garden by Harry Ellis, one
of the authors of the number. The song was
enthusiastically received, and if its initial intro-
duction is any criterion it should become quite
popular.
Besides Mr. Ellis, Harold L. Cool
and Arthur J. Daly are responsible for the new
song.
