"BLUES" WRITTEN IN 1860
Old Copy of Music Displayed in New York
Serves to Prove the Fact
The "blues," which have had their share of
popularity for some time, have evidently had an
earlier origin than oftentimes supposed. An
antique dealer on Twenty-eighth street has a
window display of old sheet music belonging to
another generation. Of interest is one sheet
entitled "Regimental Blues," published by Firth,
I'ond & Co., then located at 547 Broadway, and
dedicated the "Regimental Blues" of Savannah,
Ga. The copyright bears the date of 1
Dorothy Jardon, who after some years in mu-
sical comedy and vaudeville blossomed forth
this season as a full-Hedged opera star, has again
entered the ranks of the song writers. She has
placed two new numbers for which she com-
posed the music, and Amy Ashmore Clark
wrote the words, with McCarthy & Fisher, Inc.,
and has signed a year's contract with that house.
The Billy Smythe Music Co., Louisville, Ky.,
has increased its capital from $1,000 to $25,000.
McKinley's New Song Success
GREATEST "JAZZ" SONG EVER PUBLISHED
It is a fact more or less appreciated, we be-
lieve, that the best work done for the entertain-
ment of the wounded soldiers from the various
hospitals hereabout is not always the work that
is best advertised. An incident in point is the
work being done by Gene Buck through co-
operation with the members of the Lambs Club.
Mr. Buck, who is well known to the music
men through his title pages of other days, and
his many song hits of to-day, makes arrange-
ments for the entertainment of from fifty to
two hundred men at some theatre for the mat-
inee. After the show the men arc conveyed to
the Lambs Club, fed, and further entertained by
members of the club and outsiders, with Mr.
Buck acting as master of ceremonies.
Last Saturday, for instance, there were some
sixty men at the club. Percy Wenrich pre-
sided at the piano. The colored quartet from
the "Midnight Frolic"—his "spades" Buck called
them—sang the sort of music the soldiers like,
and Augustus Thomas, the noted playwright,
gave one of the most human talks that it has
ever been our privilege to listen to. For the
encouragement of the men who had lost their
legs Billy Gibson, who has an artificial leg, gave
a little buck and wing dance that was right.
There was none of the sympathy stuff at the
Lambs—none of the "poor boy" laments—just
a case of regular fellows entertaining other
regular fellows who were a little down on their
luck, and Gene Buck's slogan after each intro-
duction. "Give the kid a chance, boys," has thus
far this season been heard by about 12,000
wounded men.
POSTHUMOUS WORKS OF McCARRON
Song Ideas of Late Composer Being Worked Up
by Joseph W. Stern & Co.
When Chas. R. McCarron, the well-known
song writer, recently passed away through a
sudden attack of pneumonia, it by no means
ended his career in the music field. McCarron
left a large number of manuscripts and comedy
ideas. It was his intention that some of these
should follow in the footsteps of his great suc-
cess, "Oh, Helen!"
His publishers, Jos. W.
Stern & Co., have recently tried out one of his
later works and they are pleased with its in-
itial reception. The song bears the title "Kvery-
where That Wilson Goes Mrs. Wilson Goes
Along." The finishing touches to the number
were added by Henry Lewis, the well-known
musical comedy star. Carey Morgan, the writ-
ing partner of McCarron, supplied the music.

New Jersey Concern Advises Him That It
Will Publish One of His Numbers for the
Small Sum of $10, Payable in Instalments
One of those music publishing firms in New
Jersey which make a specialty of helping the
ambitious song writer get his songs published
for a consideration recently sent a circular let-
ter to John Philip Sousa offering to include one
of his compositions in a special new book for
the small sum of $10, and not only that, but of-
fered to permit him to pay the $10 in instal-
ments if necessary. We have it on excellent
authority that the bandmaster did not accept the
offer.
NEW COMEDY NUMBER
Recent reports from France state that Kay
Walker, the well-known American composer,
has written a new comedy song entitled "Toot
Sweet," for which Kdouard Salbert, the French
music publisher, has obtained the rights.
