Dorothy Jardon Meeting With Great Success
With "There Is No Death"
Dorothy Jardon, who is now playing an ex-
t< nded engagement on the Keith vaudeville cir-
cuit, is singing with success Geoffrey O'Hara's
dramatic art song entitled "There Is No Death."
Her success with this number at the Eastern
houses, including those of New York and Wash-
ington, D. C, led her to decide to make it
one of the features of her program. "There Is
No Death'' is published by Chappell-Harms, Inc.
Another number, published by the same firm,
which is being heard frequently in vaudeville
circles is the ballad. "The World Is Waiting for
the Sunrise." Among those successfully pro-
graming this song is the well-known (rcorge
MacFarlane.

the most original and attractive window displays
ever seen in that city. A glance at the picture
presented is sufficient testimony to the success
of their initiative. The central oval represents
an old Kentucky cabin and a darky busy with
watermelon, and the rest of the big space is a
huge splash of color and design afforded by in-
numerable copies of "Kentucky Blues." The
display further announced the featuring of this
song by Nelson & Cronin, who are appearing
in Boston in the musical success, "Broadway
Brevities," in which "Kentucky Blues" is sung
to advantage. The same week the song was in-
sistently featured at the other houses and by
all orchestras, and by several other window dis-
plays, showing a general disposition to pay trib-
ute to this song.
