NEW SOLDIER SHOW A BIO HIT
•
\
.
"Yip, Yip, Yaphank" Proves the Surprise of the
Season at the Century Theatre
The best soldie* play of the several that have
hit Broadway is Sergeant Irving Berlin's pro-
duction -of "Yip, Yip, Yaphank," produced at the
Century Theatre, with a cast made up exclusive-
ly of soldiers from Camp Upton, where Berlin
is now stationed.
The production, which opened on Monday of
last week, and is playing a two weeks' run here,
not only aroused the unbounded enthusiasm of
the newspaper critics and professionals who wit-
nessed it, but also moved a number of pro-
ducers to consider securing the rights for reg-
ular production. The book and music of "Yip,
Yip, Yaphank" was written by Sergeant Ber-
lin, and the production was staged by Will H.
Smith, there being something like 275 soldiers
in the cast.
The hit of the show, however, appeared to be
Berlin's music, most of the best having been
written especially for this production. The fea-
tures included a number of comedy songs aimed
at soldier life, and including Berlin's latest
hit "How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning."
McKinley's New Song Success
THE SONG THAT TOUCHES EVERY HEART
THAT with a dozen" song writers and com-
posers represented in the score of "Everything"
at the Hippodrome, there should develop at least
one hit.
THAT the royalty statement for the show will
probably look like an excess profits tax report.
THAT the suggestion that wives be invited to
next year's outing of the Greater New York
Music Publishers' and Dealers' Association has
been vetoed.
THAT as the vote was being cast one member
whistled softly, "1 Can Dance With Everybody
But My Wife." He might have added blonds
preferred.
THAT unfortunately some of the pictures taken
of the bathers at the outing cannot be published
without taking a chance with the law.
THAT T. B. Harms and Francis, Day & Hunter
have closed their professional rooms maintained
for some time past in the Astor Theatre Build-
ing.
THAT it is not true that the War Industries
Board while fixing the size of sheet music also
fixed the maximum size of royalty checks. A
song writer will still be able to collect all he
can prove the publisher owes him.
THAT after glancing at the casualty lists some
of these so-called novelty "war songs" don't
seem quite so fitting.
THAT a patron at the Riverside last week de-
clared he was sick of "I'm Sorry I Made You
Cry," because he heard it at every show he at-
tended during the past month.
THAT Phil Kornheiser should clip the above
paragraph and present it to Mr. Feist with a
smile on his face, for that has not been the
only complaint of a similar nature.
The Song That Stirred the World
From The Miihic Trade Kcviciv:
"One of (lie (tmitcsl and best IUIIIIMIN inspired
li.v wartime eondition* is '(Jo! M.v Son,
lishiiiK Co. of Buffalo, N. Y. The NOIIK is
equally adaptable us a mareli or a quick step
and its already being featured by military bands.
The lyric- is pleasing and echoes a sentiment
which should find a responsive chord wherever
it is sung «r heard."
The company has several important numbers
in their latest list, among which are "My Love
Is for Thee," a waltz ballad of merit; "Carry
Me Hack to Old Virginia's Shore" and "You
Don't Know Kverything," beside others on the
press.

Famous English Soprano Singing "Radiance in

Sybil Vane, the famous Knglish soprano, now
lilling a brief engagement in vaudeville in this
country, introduced the latest Feist song suc-
cess, "Radiance in Your Eyes," at the Palace
Theatre this week. The selection of this num-
ber by Miss Vane is naturally accepted as a high
tribute to its qualities.
SOME NEW PIANTADOSI SONGS
"What an Army of Men We'd Have if They
Kver Drafted the Women" is a new song pub-
lished by Al I'iantadosi & Co., Inc., which is
having a good call from professional singers.
One of the other leading numbers from the
above company's catalog is "I'm Going to Spend
My Vacation With a Dear Old Relation," a
patriotic war number with lots of comedy and
originality.
