WORKING HARD FOR LIBERTY LOAN
Members of Sheet Music Trade Give Their
Services Without Stint in Connection With
the Present Campaign for the Third Loan
Members of the sheet music trade have been
doing their bit to a full extent in support of the
Third Liberty Loan. Not only have they sub-
scribed liberally to the Loan on their own ac-
count, but they have also given their services
in providing music at rallies held under the
auspices of the Liberty Loan Committee. Sev-
eral publishers have sent entertainers in motor
trucks about the city to stimulate interest in the
loan, and several prominent composers and
singers have appeared at various times at the
meetings held at the Sub-Treasury Building,
among them being Irving Berlin, Arthur Fields,
who incidentally featured the new Feist song,
"Just as Washington Crossed the Delaware,
General Pershing Will Cross the Rhine"; Harry
Carroll and others of equal fame. The Rem-
ick song, "What Are You Going to Do to Help
the Boys?", has been featured strongly in the
campaign, and many other songs have proved
valuable in being particularly applicable to the
situation.
THAT Lee Roberts, of the Q R S Co., the music
roll people, has been composing again.
THAT this time Mr. Roberts offers two new
novelty numbers entitled "Drop Me Down in
Dixie" and "Mammy's Lullaby."
THAT the Remick number, "What Are You Go-
ing to Do to Help the Boys?" comes close to
being the official Liberty Loan song.
THAT the Meyer Cohen Music Co. have on the
press a very clever novelty number by Blanche
Merrill entitled "My Syncopated Melody Man.' 1
THAT the Cohen Co. is building up a catalog
that is bound to command attention.
THAT M. Witmark & Sons have opened a
branch professional office in the Annex Hotel,
St. Louis, and another at 554 Chalmers avenue,
Detroit.
THAT, despite the assertions of various com-
mittees that the songs of Revolutionary and
Civil War days are the proper things for our
fighting men now, the soldiers themselves are
demanding the latest popular hits.
THAT as a result the song repertoires at the
various camps and cantonments are taking on
quite a modern air.
THAT Ernest R. Breuer, composer of "There's
a Vacant Chair in Every Home To-night," and
other successes, is now an interpreter in the
United States Army in France.
THAT Joe Howard will shortly produce a new
show on Broadway under the title of "Julia
Hallelujah." Charles K. Harris will publish the
score.
NEW BALLAD BY BLIND COMPOSER
Walter J. Pond, the blind concert singer and
composer, has just written a new song entitled
"Bring Back the Kiss That I Gave." The lyrics
of the number are from the pen of W. T. White-
head. The number is published by Hamilton S.
Gordon and is being issued with a very appro-
priate title page.
Latest Song Sensation
"A Soldier's Rosary"
The most important business
NOW—is to win the war.
If we don't win it—there won't be
any business to worry about—there-
fore, it is up to each and every one
of us to do everything we can in sup-
port of Uncle Sam.
He needs our help NOW.
He wants us to loan him some
money. Let's do it.
Let's buy Liberty Bonds—all we can
afford—and then just a few more—to
make Uncle Sam feel better and prove
to him that our pocketbooks are loyal
as well as our hearts.

OLCOTT IN "ONCE UPON A TIME"
Popular Irish Actor Appearing on Broadway
in Successful New Production
It is quite a long time since that popular
actor-singer, Chauncey Olcott, appeared on
Broadway, although New Yorkers have kept in
close touch with all the steady stream of his
successes through his periodical appearances at
outlying houses within the metropolis' boundar-
ies. Now, however, Mr. Olcott returns to the
very axis of things theatrical, and is now ap-
pearing at the Fulton Theatre in a three-act
play by Rachel Crothers called "Once Upon a
Time," one of the most successful pieces in
which Mr. Olcott has starred. There is a very
small cast, and the action devolves very largely
upon Mr. Olcott.
Of course, no play would seem complete with-
out those musical features with which Mr. Ol-
cott's reputation is so closely associated, and he
finds opportunity to introduce with telling effect
several delightful and characteristic Irish songs,
chief among which must be mentioned such
numbers as "My Irish Song of Songs," "Little
Colleen," "Once Upon a Time," and "Come Back
to Ireland and Me." All these numbers are
published by M. Witmark & Sons.
