AMERICAN MARCH FOR WEDDINGS
E. T. Paull Composes a New "American Wed-
ding March" to Replace Music of German
Origin Generally Used
As reported in another section of this paper
last week K. T. Paull, the well-known composer
of marches and songs, has written a new
"American Wedding March." This was on the
suggestion of A. lloen & Co., of Richmond, Va.,
who do the elahorate lithographic work on all
of the Paull title pages. It seems there have
been objections from various quarters to the
use of the present wedding marches which are
of German origin. Mr. Paull has been working
on the composition, which is now finished, since
the receipt of the letter from his lithographers
on April 5.
FEATURING STASNY SONG HIT
One of the vaudeville artists featuring the
Stasny song hit "When Yankee Doodle Learns
to Parlez Vous Francais" is Juliette Dika, the
Franco-American comedienne, who puts the
natural and highly desirable French roll into
the words. The song was one of the hits at
the Riverside last week.
