THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
APRIL 13, 1918
CONDUCTED BY B. B. WILSON
WORKING FOR THE LIBERTY LOAN
Geo. H. Bliss Acting as Chairman of the Music
Publishers' Committee
George H. Bliss, sales manager of the Q R S
Co., and secretary of the New York Music Pub-
lishers' and Dealers' Association, has been hard
at work this week launching the trade campaign
for the Liberty Loan, he being chairman of the
music publishers' committee of the Allied In-
dustries' Liberty Loan Association. Mr. Bliss
urges that all purchases of bonds by members
of the trade, whether through the committee or
not, be reported to him in order that the amount
may be placed to the credit of the industry, for,
as he says in a special letter:
"We not only want to make a big showing
from a patriotic standpoint, but when the ques-
tion again comes up for non-essential indus-
tries, we want to be able to point to the figures
subscribed to this Liberty Loan by our indus-
tries, showing that we are 'doing our bit.' "

PIANTADOSI CO.'S NEW SONGS
Chappell & Co. Again Protect Rights to "Keep
the Home Fires Burning"
"What Are You Going to Do to Help the Boys?"
Being Featured Extensively
Two Interesting New Numbers Just Issued by
That Publishing House
Chappell & Co. have again succeeded in stop-
ping the publication of a song which infringed
on the rights of 'Keep the Home Fires Burning
Till the Boys Come Home." The song in ques-
tion was published by the Rodeheaver Music
Co., of Chicago, of which H. A. Rodeheaver,
song leader of the Billy Sunday meetings, is
the head, and was entitled "We'll Be Waiting
When You Come Back Home." This makes the
fourth case this season in which Chappell & Co.
were required to take action to protect the rights
of the song. The previous cases were in New
York, Boston and Portland, Ore.
The Liberty Loan song published by J. H.
Remick & Co. entitled "What Are You Going to
Do to Help the Boys?" is being used quite fre-
quently by a number of organizations connected
with the Liberty Loan drive. Vaudeville has
also taken it up and the organized vaudeville
managers' associations are encouraging its use
At the meeting of the Allied Theatrical com-
mittee held at the Palace Theatre on Tuesday
morning of last week the song was sung and en-
dorsed. This committee is under the direction
of K. F. Albbe, of the United Booking offices.
Al Piantadosi & Co., Inc., have just issued
two new songs, both of the patriotic order, the
lyrics of which appear quite timely. "Belgium,
Dry Your Tears" is the title of one of the num-
bers, words by Arthur Freed, and music by Al
Piantadosi, and "Oh, Moon of the Summer
Night," words and music by Allan J. Flynn, is
the title of the other.
The professional de-
partment of the company is already working on
the numbers, and a big drive will be made for
publicity in the daily papers.

"My Honey's Back," and succeeded in getting
Sophie Tucker to introduce it. Since that time
she has featured it everywhere on her vaude-

big success so the Leo Feist scouts in the above
territory wired the home office about it, the re-
sult being it is now published by Feist.
