They Said We Were Crazy
When we planned and carried out a national
advertising campaign to feature

take the chance.

231-235 West 40th Street, NEW YORK
THAT at a recent meeting of popular publish-
ers it was decided to dispense with the giving
of presents to the stage hands of vaudeville
theatres.
THAT one publisher objected on the grounds
that he had already invested $60 in ties and
socks for that purpose, and wanted .to know
what he should do about it, which led to the
remark by another publisher that he put $40
with it and open up a store for their sale.
THAT now we must wait to see if the "solid"
gold presents, so plentiful about the professional
rooms, begin to tarnish and lose their lustre.
THAT Julius Witmark is now enjoying a mid-
winter vacation down New England way.
THAT Grant Clarke, the lyric writer, has re-
turned to the fold and is again writing for Leo
Feist, Inc.
THAT Harry Goodwin is no longer connected
with the firm of Gilbert & Friedland, Inc., as
business manager.
THAT F. J. A. Forster, the Chicago music pub-
lisher, has closed his offices in New York and
dismissed the staff.
THAT enlistments and the draft are serving to
thin out the staffs of music publishing houses
to a marked degree.
A LIVE PATRIOTIC SONG
PUBLISH NEW SOLMAN NUMBER
"When the Yanks Come Marching Home,"
the latest patriotic song from the pens of Wm.
Jerome and Seymour Furth. is having a good
sale, according to reports in the trade. The
number, which is published by the Wm. Jerome
Publishing Co. is being sung quite extensively
in vaudeville, and from the outlook its success
is going to carry into the hit class.
M. Witmark & Sons have just published a new
ballad by Alfred Solman, the prominent com-
poser, with many successes to his credit. The
new number is entitled "Absence Brings You
Nearer to My Heart." It has lyrics by Paul
Benegek, and looks like one of the first big
things for the New Year. Mr. Solman, it will
be remembered, is responsible for such hits as
"If I Had a Thousand Lives to Live," "Mine,"
"With You in Eternity," etc., and the new num-
ber is fully up to the former standard.
HARRIS' NEW JAPANESE NUMBER
A new song published by Chas. K. Harris is
entitled "When the Cherry Blossoms Are
Blooming" (in Japan), and is described as a
dainty, novelty Japanese number. This is one
of four new songs issued by Chas. K. Harris,
the other numbers being of the ballad order and
of the usual Harris standard.
