CONTAINS NUMBERS OF MERIT
During the week of December 16 a number
of young society women, including several
debutantes, will make their first appearance in
a musical production in the Forty-fourth Street
Roof Theatre, for the benefit of the American
Committee for Devastated France. The show
is called "Hooray for the Girls," book by Mrs.
Lewis B. Woodruff, lyrics by Miss Annelu
Burns and music by Miss Madelyn Shepard.
Waterson, Berlin & Snyder will publish the
numbers for the show and it is said that sev-
eral of them are works of no mean merit.
Among these are: "If You But Dream," "Wait-
ing." "Just a Wee Little Cote on Love's High-
way" and "Saucy Little Devils." In all there
will be twelve numbers in the production.
A VERSATILE TEAM
Tom and Jack Weir have an act in vaudeville
that is certainly getting them lots of applause.
Their singing of "At the Coffee Coolers' Tea"
and "That Wonderful Mother of Mine," two en-
tirely different songs published by M. Witmark
& Sons, shows their versatility in a marked
manner, and adds tremendously to the attractive-
ness of their act.
McKinley's New Song Success
GREATEST "JAZZ" SONG EVER PUBLISHED
ST. LOUIS, MO., December 9.—It has just be-
come known that the local music publishing
offices which represent firms in the American
Society of Authors, Composers and Publishers
have informed the Motion Picture Producers'
Association that the picture shows will have to
pay 10 cents per seat a year for demonstrations
of songs and orchestration of music beginning
with the first of the year.
Several local publishers and some officers rep-
resenting firms not allied with the society have
notified the picture men that they are willing to
continue free demonstrations. Apparently the
picture men have not stated their position.
Also it is rumored that several of the New
York publishers are preparing to close their of-
fices here. This report reached the trade before
the end of the war and at present there appears
to be considerable doubt as to the status of these
offices. Whether the closing was a part of the
war conservation movement and will now be
taken out of the program cannot be ascertained.
The local managers declined to discuss the sit-
uation.
McCORMACK USES^AMERICANS COME'
Fay Foster's immensely popular song, "The
Americans Come," is continuing in the limelight
and is appearing in the program^ of prominent
artists as frequently as before the armistice was
signed.
John McCormack, the noted tenor,
thought well enough of "The Americans Come"
to induce him to sing it at the Metropolitan
Opera House and at the Hippodrome, New
York, as well as at the Auditorium, Chicago,
and will again feature it at the Biltmore Friday
morning musicale on December 20. Both the
words by Elizabeth A. Wilbur, and the music by
Fay Foster represent genuine inspiration.
Hamilton S. Gordon, the well-known publish-
ing firm, is now featuring a popular song called
"Bring Back the Kiss That I Gave." This song
was actually inspired by the author overhearing
a young sweetheart say those words to her sol-
dier boy just prior to his departure for camp. As
the boys will all return in the. course of the com-
ing months, the song carries appropriate lyrics
for those who await their arrival.

SAM LEVY'S PATRIOTIC WORK
Sam Levy, assistant manager of the profes-
sional department of Waterson, Berlin & Snyder,
has been singing nightly during the past few
months at entertainments, the proceeds of which
are given to patriotic activities. At the present
time he features "The Worst Is Yet to Come,"
"Oh, How I Hate to Get Up In the Morning,"
"Come on, Papa," "Oh, What a Time for the
Girls When the Boys Come Home" and "Rock-
a-Bye Baby."
STERN WALTZ_AT THE RIALTO
The new waltz success, "Kentucky Dream,"
by S- R. Henry and D. Onivas, the writers of '
"Indianola," was recently played by the Rialto
Orchestra as an accompaniment to Pauline Fred-
erick's picture, "A Daughter of the Old South,"
and proved most appropriate. Jos. W. Stern &
Co. are the publishers.
