DOING WELL WITH WAR SONGS

CHICAGO, I I I . , February 18.—''Songs having
something to do with the war or our soldiers
make up three-fourths of the popular song busi-
ness of the country to-day, and we are fortunate
in having some of the best selling war songs on
the market," said Manager Foster of the Mc-
Kinley Music Co. "We have a ballad just off
the press that we predict a great sale for called
'There's a Little Blue Star in the Window and
It Means All the World to Me.' The lyric is
by Paul B. Armstrong and the music by Henri
Klickmann. The words of the chorus will give
an idea of the appeal in the lyric to every one
who knows and loves a soldier boy:
"There are stars in the high heavens shining,
With a promise of hope in their light;
There are stars in the field of Old Glory,
With the emblem of honor and right.
But no star ever shone with more brightness, I
know,
Than the one for my boy o'er the sea;
There's a little blue star in the window,
And it means all the world to me."
"The ballad 'When a Boy Says Goodbye to
His Mother, and She Gives Him to Uncle Sam,'
and our 'spelling' song 'A-M-E-R-I-C-A Means
I Love You My Yankee Land' are having a tre-
mendous sale everywhere, while we made a
lucky buy in 'I'm Hitting the Trail to Nor-
mandy, So Kiss Me Goodbye.' Our two humor-
ous songs are going good. 'Giddy Giddap! Go
on! Go on! We're On Our Way to War' is
one of the big camp favorites. Here is a letter
from Camp MacArthur, which is a sample of
the kind we are receiving daily. The letter was
written by Kenneth N. Westerman, director of
music at the camp, and he said:
" 'The band arrangement and professional cop-
ies of "Giddy Giddap" came to me some time ago
and the ten bands of the Thirty-second Division
have been playing it. At the Community Sing-
ing on the 20th of December a chorus of 12,000
voices backed up by the band of 400 pieces sang
and played the number. "Giddy Giddap" is very

"Business has been extremely good with us
since New Year's," continued Mr. Foster, "but
the short working week and various shipping
embargoes are quite a handicap, keeping our
increased force going 'on high' all the time. We
hope our many dealers will appreciate the fact
that transportation facilities are not dependable
these days. Every order we receive is tilled and
started from our house on the day we get it,
but we are getting many complaints that express
packages ordinarily delivered in two days are
now taking a week or ten days before they
reach their destination."

THREE NEW STASNY SONGS ISSUED
Successful Music Publishing House Makes At-
tractive Additions to Its Catalog
The A. J. Stasny Music Co. recently released
three new popular songs which include a love
song, a novelty song and a new soldier song.
Will Hart and Edward Nelson, the authors of
"When Yankee Doodle Learns to Parlez Vous
Francais," are the authors of the love song, it
being entitled "When the Moon Begins to
Shine" (Through the Pines of Carolin'). The
novelty number is by Tom Huston and Sam
Gold and should become a successful number
with the vaudeville singers.
"A Soldier's
Rosary" is the title of the new "war" song,
words by J. E. Dempsey, music by Jos. A.
l'urke. This latter number the Stasny Co. ex-
