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 proposition.

NEW ASSOCIATION^ IS IN EARNEST
Publishers Check Schemes for Evading Edict
Against the Payment of Singers
The Music Publishers' Protective Associa-
tion continues to maintain an airtight front re-
garding the payment of singers. It has been
discovered that there were several plans in
view for evading the edict of the association
in the matter of payments, among them a
scheme for giving the performer an interest in
the song he was featuring or to permit him to
appear in the light of collaborator in writing
the words and music. The association has taken
action to eliminate any such scheme.
At the last meeting of the association, a com-
mittee that had gone to Washington to protest
against the war tax on catalogs and parcel post
packages made a favorable report.
CLIFF ODOMS BRINGS GOOD REPORTS
THAT arrangements have been made for the
publication in France of "Joan of Arc, They Are
Calling You," the Waterson, Berlin & Snyder
hit.
THAT a French translation is being made of
the song, which was originally written by Willie
Weston; Alfred Bryan and Jack Welsh.
THAT, although the publishers of the "Sammy"'
song had the best of intentions, it appears that
the American troops in France object strenu-
ously to that title.
THAT there are so many nicknames suggested
for the lightitiR men that the song writer or
publisher has a hard time deciding which is
right.
THAT a vaudeville engagement at least gives
the popular composer a chance to plug his num-
bers, old and new, and get paid for it besides.
THAT Leo Feist, Inc., have released a new song
by Arthur Fields and Leon Flatow entitled:
"It's a Long Way to Berlin, But We'll Get
There."
THAT with the passing of Labor Day next Mon-
day the fall season may be considered officially
under way.
THAT those big things promised for the coming
season by the music men are now about due
for a hearing.

THERE" IN WOOL WORTH'S
During the next few weeks, the F. W. Wool-
worth Syndicate of 5-cent and 10-cent stores will
feature "Over There," George M. Cohan's patri-
otic war song, in all their music departments
throughout the United States.
This song is one of the biggest sellers of the
war numbers and its continued popularity speaks
well for Mr. Cohan's latest work.
The Syracuse Herald among other newspapers
recently applied to the Wm. Jerome Publishing
Co., the publishers, for permission to use the
words and music of "Over There," but the
Jerome Co. decided that no permission of that
kind would be granted in the future.

It is not surprising to see the number of high
class vaudeville stars who are singing "Break
the News to Mother," Chas. K. Harris' great
song sensation of Spanish-American War fame,
when it is considered that this song has never
died, but has been on sale throughout the past
eighteen years.
Among the latest popular singers who are
using "Break the News to Mother" is the well-
known Belle Baker. Recently Miss Baker sang
it during her engagement at the Palace Theatre,
New York, and it was so favorably received that
she has decided to continue using the number
during her coming tour over the Keith circuit.
Other well-known professional singers using
the number are Burns & Kissen, Ward & Lum,
Imogene Comer, Ketchem & Cheatem and Marie
Dreams.

in New York.
Mr. Odoms recently was in
Philadelphia and reports the Feist song "Where
Do We Go From Here" to be a sensation in
that territory.
While he says "Good-Bye
Broadway, Hello France" has had great popu-
larity throughout the United States the rapidity
with which the public is accepting "Where Do
We Go From Here" will in the end probably
make it an even bigger seller.
