would see what Herb Roth, the artist, claims
to have seen, they might consider it more in
the light of a penalty than a gift. However,
the intention was good, the trio, \Valter Bacon,
of the \'Vhite-Smith Music Co., C. M. Tremaine,
director of the National Bureau for the Ad­
vancement of Music, and J. M. Priaulx, "Uncle
"Joc," of Chas. H. Ditson & Co. look happy and
everybody's satisfied, both with the conventions
themselves and the aftermath.
CALLS IT $20,000 NUMBER
Lee S. Roberts' "A Little Birch Canoe and
You" is withollt doubt one of the most suc­
cessful waltz songs issued in many seasons.
As a dance its popularity does not seem to wane,
and it appears to be bent on making a similar
record to that established by "Missouri \Valtz,"
which is constantly revived by the orchestras
for dance purposes.
A NEW ORIENTAL NUMBER
The A. J. Stasny Music Co. are the publishers
of a new Oriental number entitled " My Desert
Fantasy." This number is being given much
publicity througll the medium of the orches­
tras, with' which it is quite popular. The song
ha'S been placed in the higl;-class catalog of the
company.
"Mending a Heart," one of the latest add;itions
to the high-class catalog of Gilbert & Fried­
land, Inc., is considered by Wolfe Gilbert, of
that firm, to be one of the greatest songs issued
