"DREAMY AMAZON" SELLING WELL
L. Wolfe Gilbert's charming waltz composi-
tion, "Dreamy Amazon," has been issued on
practically every make of record and roll, and in
each instance heavy sales are reported for this
number. It is doing just as well in mechanical
form as it is doing in sheet music form, which is
saying considerable.
The Q R S Co., in mentioning their roll of
"Dreamy Amazon," say: "The days when the
waltz ruled dancing produced no better compo-
sition than this." And the buying public seem
to be heartily in accord with the sentiments ex-
pressed by the roll company.

Something distinctly novel in the music line
is the little volume just sent to The Review
by Neil Marshall, a song writer of Muskogee,
Okla. Within a loose-leaf binder of leather
she presents a number of her songs and poems,
some set to music, which were written for and
published each week in the Muskogee, Okla.,
Times-Democrat.
The arrangement by Mrs. Marshall called
for a song each week on the topics of the
day under a six months' contract. In this con-
nection Mrs. Marshall says: "Some weeks the
topics of the day would not suggest a song
to me, and I would then switch to a song
of sentiment, such as 'I Love You'; 'Evening
Hour,' etc., but most of my verse has been
suggested by topics of the day, such as 'Hail
the Dawn of Peace,' 'The Little Belgian Chil-
dren,' 'Pershing for President,' etc. The idea,
I think, is entirely original with me. If it has
been done before I have never heard of any-
one putting the topics of the day in song
form for a newspaper."
It appears that the Times-Democrat used
these poems of Mrs. Marshall's as one of their
Saturday features, and they made quite a hit.
Some of the songs Mrs. Marshall - modestly
states were sent to different publishers, but
the answer in each case was they had their
own staff writers, so she has issued them in this
form as a holiday gift for her friends and they
certainly will be appreciated for their own merit,
as well as for the novel form in which they are
presented.

ENTHUSIASTIC OVER NEW SONG
Publishers Have Much Confidence in "If You're
Only Fooling 'Round Me"
Jos. W. Stern & Co. have just released a new
song entitled "If You're Only Fooling 'Round
Me." The song was written by Geo. Bennett,
a co-writer in one of the Stern successes called
"You Didn't Want Me When You Had Me."
While he is a newcomer as far as his published
works are concerned his numbers are now re-
ceiving recognition and he will undoubtedly be
mentioned often in the future. Both the lyrics
and melody of "If You're Only Fooling 'Round
Me" appear to be exceptional and are easily
remembered.
The big music publishers to-day are wary of
announcing a song as a hit, as no one knows
better than they that it is almost impossible to
foretell just how big a song will go over. Oc-
casionally, however, they feel so much confi-
dence in a number that they do predict unusual
success for it, and that is the case with "If
You're Only Fooling 'Round Me."
