REVIVE OLD SONGS IN "MISS 1917"
Fine Old-Time Successes From Witmark Cat-
alog in New Production
In one of the scenes of the Ziegfeld-Dilling-
ham production, "Miss 1917," which recently
opened at the Century Theatre a number of
the old song hits of bygone days are intro-
duced.
Among the old songs that thus emerge from
either complete or partial obscurity are no less
than five published by M. Witmark & Sons.
Foremost among these is the "Yama-Yama
Man," forever associated with the name of
Bessie McCoy, who made the hit of her life with
it in the famous piece, "Three Twins." Miss
McCoy again sings this fascinating novelty in
"Miss 1917," assisted by 24 Yama-Yama girls,
all given exactly as it was at the old Herald
Square Theatre years ago. Other songs from
the Witmark catalog thus honored are "Sam-
my," originally sung in "The Wizard of Oz;"
"Kiss Me Honey, Do," from one of the Weber-
Field burlesques; and two of Victor Herbert's
masterpieces, "Kiss Me Again," from "Mile.
Modiste," and "The March of the Toys," from
"Babes in Toyland."

n%
THAT Artie Millinger and Geo. W. Meyer, the
latter a member of the writing staff of Leo
Feist, Inc., are now touring the best vaude-
ville circuits and will shortly open at the Pal-
ace Theare, New York. They will introduce
"In the Land of Wedding Bells," the new song
by Mr. Meyer, published by Feist.
THAT all objectives have been captured as a
result of Witmark's successful charge in be-
half of "The Magic of Your Eyes."
THAT Teddy Morse has just returned from a
long vaudeville engagement with an act con-
sisting of such other stars as Collins^ & Harlan,
Henry Burr and others, most of whom are con-
nected with the recording staffs of phonograph
companies.
THAT Mack Whiting, former stage manager
of "Chin Chin," is staging Silvio Hftin's new
musical extravaganza, "The Golden Goose."
He promises many new noveltks. Anton
Heindl, the genial musical director, will have
charge of the orchestra.
THAT the latest song revival brought about by
the war is Cobb and Barnes' great success of
Spanish War days, "Good-bye, Dolly Grey."
It is issued by the Maurice Richmond Music
Co.
THAT "Flo-Flo," a musical comedy by Fred
de Gresac and Silvio Hein, will be produced at
the Cort Theatre next month.
That Joe Cook, who has just closed an en-
gagement at the Palace Theatre, has been
signed up to play one of the leading roles in
Silvio Hein's new theatrical vrnture, "The
Golden Goose." Muriel Window, the famous
little comedienne, will have the important
woman's part playing opposite Mr. Cook.
"HOMEWARD BOUND" GOING BIG
One of the four songs strongly featured in
the big national campaign inaugurated re-
cently by Leo Feist, Inc., was "Homeward
Bound," a number of the ballad order, which
has already proven distinctly successful, as in
fact have the other three numbers featured.
"Homeward Bound" is reaching a point where
it ranks with the hits of the season and is of
a type that should find it a place in the stand-
ard catalog of the house. The number was
featured by Belle Baker at the Palace Theatre
last week and came close to creating a sensation
at every performance. Other vaudeville stars
are also using the number.

ELSIE JAMS USJNG STASNY SONG
Imitates Ina Claire in Singing of "When Yankee
Doodle Learns to Parlez Vous Francais"
Elsiej Janis, the famous impersonator and
musical comedy star now appearing in big-time
vaudeville with a number of brand new im-
personations, is basing her act upon the manner
in which prominent stage folks would sing the
patriotic songs of the day. One of those se-
lected for imitation is Ina Claire and Miss Janis
shows the audience how she thinks Miss Claire
would sing "When Yankee Doodle Learns to
Parlez Vous Francais," the song success pub-
lished by the A. J. Stasny Music Co. The song
is one of the most successful in Miss Janis'
repertoire.
