CONDUCTED BY B. B. WILSON
CELEBRATE NATIONAL ANTHEM DAY
Special Efforts Made in Many Cities of the
Country Acquaint All Citizens With All the
Words of the "Star Spangled Banner"
Last Saturday was National Anthem Day in
more than twenty cities in the United States,
when special efforts were made to teach the
words and music of the "Star Spangled Banner"
to every person not already acquainted with
them. It is said that only two persons in
every 500 in New York know the words of the
song right through, and it was the idea of
Henry MacDonald, Director General of the
Mayor's Committee on National Defense, to
have a day set. aside for teaching the words to
the other 498.
More than one thousand professional singers
visited theatres and other public places and
sang the anthem over several times, the audi-
ence being asked to join in. At the various
moving picture theatres the words of the song
were thrown on the screen as a guide.
BOBBY JONES WITH STASNY CO.
Heads Professional Department of That Con-
cern—Strong Fall Campaign Planned
Bobby Jones, who for over five years was
manager of the Boston branch of J. H. Remick
& Co., has been appointed manager of the New
York professional rooms of the A. J. Stasny
Music Co. The Stasny organization will imme-
diately commence an intensive campaign to pop-
ularize several new numbers. Among these is
the new song, "It's Never Too Late to Be
Sorry," by James Dempsey and Joseph Burke,
writers of "Soldier's Rosary." The Stasny or-
ganization is very enthusiastic 1 over the pros-
pects of this new song and expects it to be one
of the leading numbers of the fall season. The
song carries one of the most strikingly attrac-
tive pages which have appeared in some time,
bearing a likeness of Marguerite Snow, the well-
known moving picture star, in a special pose.

NEW OPERETTA PROVES A SUCCESS
"HEAD OVER HEELS" A HIT
Music of "The Maid of the Mountains" Particu-
larly Well Received
New Savage Production Is Full of Excellent
Music by Jerome Kern
"The Maid of the Mountains," a new operetta
brought from London by Elliott, Comstock &
Gest, was presented at the Casino Theatre last
week and won immediate favor, particularly for
the score. As one reviewer put it: "Think of
a musical show on Broadway in this year, 1918,
without jazz! Think of a musical show with
a tuneful, musicianly score, a sensible—if im-
possible—book, a real plot, lyrics that really
belong and singers that can sing! 'The Maid
of the Mountains' at the Casino is all of this."
Frederick Lonsdale wrote the book, Harry
Graham the lyrics, and Harold Fraser-Simpson
the music, with Lieut. Gitz-Rice providing an
interpolated number called "Waiting." The cast
is headed by •William Courtney, the hero, and he
has excellent support in William Danforth, Al
Roberts, Bert Clark and others. The musical
numbers that seemed to make the strongest ap-
peal were "Love Will Find a Way" and "1
Don't Care." The score is published by Leo
P'eist, Inc.
"Head Over Heels," a new play with music,
opened at the Geo. M. Cohan Theatre early this
month, and from all indications is due for a long
run. The play is presented by Henry W. Sav-
age, who confines himself to one musical show
each season. The book and lyrics are by Edgar
Allan Woolf, and the music by Jerome Kern.
Among the stars offered are Mitzi, who in past
seasons was known as Mitzi Hajos, Robert
Emmett Keane and Charles Judels, they being
supported by an excellent cast. A goodly list
of songs has been received witli such approval
as to leave the reviewers in the dark as to which
of the numbers is to be the most popular.
Among these are "The Big Show," "Mitzi's
Lullaby," "Head Over Heels," "To-day Is
Spring," "All the World Is Swaying" and "Fun-
ny Little Something." T. B. Harms & Co. are
the publishers.
SEEKING NEW COPYRIGHT LAW
Composers and Authors Want Simultaneous
Publication Clause Amended During War
American composers and authors are now
back of a plan to simplify international copy-
right procedure during the period of the war
by accepting the copyright obtained by a com-
poser or author in the allied countries as giv-
ing him copyright protection in all other coun-
tries now enjoying reciprocal copyright agree
ments. The fact that delays in mail and ocean
transportation make it practically impossible
for writers to secure simultaneous publication
ii the various countries, as provided by pres-
ent laws, is responsible for the new suggestion.
SO SAY WE ALL OF US
All the executives of the house of Leo Feist,
Inc., have recently been signing their letters
"Yours for a Speedy Victory and Peace." An-
other method of keeping up the morale at home.
OFFER A NEW NOVELTY SONG
Shapiro, Bernstein & Co. are the publishers of
a new novelty song which is meeting with good
success. It is called "We Don't Want the
Bacon" (All We Want Is a Piece of the Rhine).
GETS STASNY SONG FOR FRANCE
Salabert of France has obtained the French
rights for the A. J. Stasny Music Co. song,
"When Yankee Doodle Learns to l'arlez Vous
Francais."
