CALLAHAN STILL ABLE TO SMILE
Author of
Lyrics of "Smiles" Cheerful,
though Under a Handicap
Al-
Everybody in the music business and out of
it in this country knows of the success of the
song "Smiles," and likewise a great many of
them, particularly in trade circles, know that
Will Callahan wrote the verses. It is not gen-
erally known, however, that rheumatic iritis
has so weakened Mr. Callahan's eyes that he
must wear blue glasses continuously and suffers
excruciating pain almost constantly! When a
man under these handicaps can write lyrics as
cheerful as those of "Smiles" we come to realize
that the world is not so gloomy after all.
MRS. BITNER TAKEN ILL IN CHICAGO
Edgar F. Bitner, general manager of Leo
Feist, Inc., returned to New York, after a two
weeks' Western trip on Friday of last week.
Mr. Bitner was delayed somewhat in returning,
owing to his wife having an attack of illness in
Chicago, necessitating a short confinement in a
hospital. However, she withstood the trip East
very well, and is much improved.
McKinley's New Song Success
GREATEST "JAZZ" SONG EVER PUBLISHED
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., January 24.—E. P. Little,
in charge of the sheet music and publishing de-
partment of Sherman, Clay & Co., says that the
demand for sheet music continues to grow con-
stantly. As an example of the demand for cer-
tain music published by his house he states
that "Tears," which was placed on the market
December 7, has since had printed 75,000 copies,
and that the song is going as strong as ever.
Sherman, Clay & Co. have just published a
new musical comedy produced by Kolb & Dill in
this city, know as "As You Were." The music
is by Leo Flanders, and the lyrics by Harry
Williams.
Another recent song published by
this house is "We're Coming Back to California,"
words by Frank Wallerstein, and music by
Kalph Hogan. It is dedicated to the Grizzlies
and will be sung on the street when that organ-
ization reaches home next Saturday.
"LITTLE BIRCH CANOE" A HIT
Lee Roberts' Number Featured Both as Waltz
and Song—Still Gaining in Popularity
Jerome H. Remick & Co. have a long list of
songs showing great activity this season, and
none seems to have a more promising future
than Lee S. Roberts' "A
Little Birch C a n o e and
You," which is successful
both as a song and as a
waltz selection. While it is
undoubtedly a s t a n d a r d
number the fact that it is
being whistled by the boys
on the street shows that it
is popular, and its popu-
larity is gaining. It is also
played as a dance number by all the larger or-
chestras. Lee Roberts has given us several hits,
but probably none will have a larger sale or
popularity than "A Little Birch Canoe and You."
THE FOX TRAIL FOR JANUARY
Tn "The Fox Trail" for January Russell O.
Weiss, publicity manager of the Sam Fox Pub-
lishing Co., offers a New Year's message to the
trade, and likewise outlines the ambition of his
company to make their new waltz number
"Kisses" a million-copy hit. Other information
regarding their recent large publications of
merit and promise is also given in the little
volume, as well as enthusiastic messages by Sam
Fox himself.

CLEVER NEW FEIST NUMBERS
Two New Songs Just Issued That Should Meet
With Popularity
Grant Clark, Geo. Meyer and Milton Agar
have written a new song entitled "Anything Is
Nice That Comes From Dixieland," which has
been followed by another Meyer-Clark num-
ber, "When They're Beautiful They're Bound To
Get By." Artie Mehlinger and George Meyer,
who are now appearing on the Keith circuit, were
held over an extra week at the Royal Theatre
through the almost unanimous request of the
patrons of that house. They feature all of the
successful George Meyer numbers, including his
recent works. Leo Feist, Inc., are the publishers
of the above songs.

R. L. Huntzinger, of the music publishing
house of Huntzinger & Dilworth, has received
his discharge from the United States Army, and
is again taking up active work with this house.
