SOME HIGH PRAISE FOR FEIST SONG
"Women of the Homeland" Makes a Strong
Impression on Musicians of Standing
Since publishing the high-class song "Women
of the Homeland" Leo Feist, Inc., have received
a large number of letters from various sources
giving the song high praise. Herewith is re-
produced a letter recently received by Mr. Ham-
blen, the composer of the number, from Sergei
Klibansky, the well-known teacher, in which
he highly commends the work as follows:
"I have just received copy of your recent
song, 'Women of the Homeland,' and am com-
pelled to congratulate you once more upon your
unusual capacity for writing concert songs
which are also splendid teaching numbers, and
are therefore of especial interest to busy teach-
ers like myself. I feel sure that 'Women of the
Homeland' is destined to become one of the
very few great songs of the war.
"Needless to say, my well-known students, in-
cluding Lotta Madden, Betsy Lane Shepherd,
Helen Weiller and many others, are now adding
this song to their repertoires, and I shall be
pleased to send you programs as the season
progresses."
THAT a strike among the printers will prob-
ably cause further delays in the delivery of
music.
THAT^ the strike offers just one more little
problem to the worries of the average publisher
just now.
THAT at a recent meeting of the Music Pub-
lishers' Protective Association thirteen publish-
ing concerns were dropped from the rolls, all
of them having discontinued business.
THAT Roger Graham, the music publisher of
Chicago, recently married Miss May Hill, his
melody writer.
THAT the pluggers for various publishing
houses proved their value during the Liberty
Loan drive by attracting crowds with their
melodies.
THAT the passing of Felix Arndt last week has
caused much regret in music circles, where he
was very popular.
THAT there is now a report to the effect that
Sergt. Irving Berlin will shortly be awarded a
commission in the army.
THAT the success of the
soldier-entertainer
proves that being a song writer isn't so bad
after all.
THAT GUS Edwards' song, "Tell That to the
Marines" (Witmark), was featured prominent-
ly by the various marine units during the Lib-
erty Loan drive.
NEW STASNY SONG COMING
The A. J. Stasny Music Co. will shortly pub-
lish a new song entitled "Don't Steal My Yankee
Doodle Boy." The number has a very winning
melody, and the lyric is an entirely new idea.
Edward Nelson and Bud Green are the authors.
Miss Muriel Pollock, the well-known com-
poser, formerly connected with M. Witmark &
Sons, has been appointed assistant to Vernon
Eville, of the professional and publicity depart-
ment of Boosey & Co.

SAM FOX CO.'S NEW CATALOG
The new trade catalog for the fall season of
1918-19 of all Sam Fox publications is just off
the press and now being sent to dealers. The
catalog quotes both list and net trade prices of
all music and books published by the Sam Fox
Publishing Co. The old manner of figuring dis-
counts has been discarded and the net whole-
sale price of all music is quoted, thus doing
away with any confusion liable to arise in fig-
uring discounts.
DEATH OF CHAS. C. CONVERSE
Charles Crozat Converse, the prominent
lawyer, author and composer of symphonies,
overtures and a great many smaller musical
numbers, including church hymns, the most
popular of which is "What a Friend We Have
in Jesus," died suddenly at his home in Engle-
wood, N. J., on October 18. He was born in
Massachusetts 85 years ago, and had long been
a notable figure in the musical world.
