They Said We Were Crazy
When we planned and carried out a national
advertising campaign to feature
CENTURY EDITION
Non-copyright music that anybody can pub-
lish if they want to make the investment and
take the chance.
THE RESULT HAS BEEN
That 35,000,000 readers of leading maga-
zines have learned to know and ask for
CENTURY EDITION
Dealers who are handling Century Edition
are feeling the stimulated demand.

STASNY CAMPAIGN IN BOSTON
"A Soldier's Rosary" Featured With Great Suc-
cess in That City Last Week
Robert 1\ Wiuningham, Boston representative
of the A. J. Stasny Music Co., carried on a cam-
paign in that city throughout the past week pop-
ularizing "A Soldier's Rosary," one of the lead-
ing numbers of the Stasny catalog. A majority
of the dealers gave full displays of the number
and co-operated in a hearty manner in making
the week a success. Animated pictures of the
song were shown in some of the theatres, and
on the whole it proved to be one of the most
successful campaigns ever carried on by the
company. The A. J. Stasny Co. will shortly
release several films of animated songs.
REMICK NUMBERS IN "SINBAD"

York offices of the company.
THAT "Over There," the $25,000 song, has been

played.
THAT we are indeed a rich country with two
national anthems to choose from.

a new operetta to be produced next season. The
libretto of the piece is to be by William Le

"I'LL COME BACK
TO YOU WHEN
IT'S ALL OVER
*J
CHORUS
I'll come back to you when It's all over,
Back to you and fields of clover.
We'll start our sweetheart days all over
If your heart still beats true.
There Is a duty that every man should do,
My life defends it, but ray heart belongs to you,
So pray for the day when it's all over,
'Cause I'm coining back to you.

"OVER THERE" SUNG IN ZEPP RAIDS
The following item appeared in a recent issue
of the New York Globe in a letter from their
London correspondent:
"London is full of
'bomb' excitement. They carry puzzles to work
out to steady their nerves during a raid. One
theatre has a huge sign which reads: 'This
theatre is bombproof. The proprietor is away
doing his bit.' But this excitement isn't fear.
During a raid 1 heard a crowd in the street sing-
ing 'Over There' as if no Zepps were in sight.
That song, by the bye, is as popular in London
as it is in New York. They change it, however,
to end 'Over Here.' "
WM. A. WALLING GETS CITY POST
William A. Walling, of the Kvans Music Co.,
New York, has been appointed Assistant Cor-
poration Counsel of the Cijy of New York. Mr.

lishing the compositions of Ren Kaplan.
A new corporation entitled "Song Ilits in l'hoto
