"A Trip to Hitland"
The even routine of music publishing has been
accepted for so long a time as a matter of
course that when something original is con-
ceived not only is comment aroused, but there
is an immediate rush to follow the edict of the
Bible which says "Go thou and do likewise."
F. J. A. Forster, the well-known Chicago pub-
lisher, who has from time to time carried through
some very original plans, has just issued his
orchestrations in a form that enables the or-
chestra leader to read at a glance the more
active numbers issued by the above house for
orchestra purposes.
The title-page of individual orchestra arrange-
ment, while carrying the usual title, also has
listed all the active works in the Forster catalog
with asterisks denoting the various forms in
which they can be procured, making a very
ready index, and obviating the delays caused by
the old-style manila folio. While the whole is
original, F. J. A. Forster states that no patent
has been granted and the trade can have the
idea gratis.
"It's Up to You" is the name of a new musical
show recently opened in Boston, Mass. The
book and lyrics of the piece are by Douglas
Leavitt and Augustin McHugh, with music by
Manuel Klein and John L. McManns. Among
the stars featured in the show are Joseph Sant-
ley, Ivy Sawyer and Douglas Leavitt.
The music of "It's Up to You," with the ex-
ception of necessary additional numbers by John
L. McManus, is the posthumous work of Manuel
Klein, who died soon after completing this, the
last of many successful musical scores. Among
the song numbers which appear to particularly
stand out are "Every Time I See You, Dear, I
Love You More and More," "Havana," "I Want
a Home," "I'll Tell the World" and "Castles in
the Air." Without doubt the song "Every Time
I See You, Dear, I Love You More and More"
will gain wide popularity. M. Witmark & Sons
publish the music.
PITTSBURGH, PA., January 17.—The headliner or
headliners, to be more exact, at the Davis
Theatre this week arc a company of ten oi
America's well-known writers who have banded
themselves together with the view of giving
vaudeville patrons an act entirely out of the
ordinary and who, by their offerings in the
East, have met with notable success. They are
Nat Vincent, Billy Baskette, Billy Frisch, Sam
Ehrlich, Bernie Grossman, Bobby Jones, Will
Donaldson, Leon Flatow, Ted Shapiro and
George Fairman. , "A Trip to Hitland" is the
vehicle in which a very clever song presentation
is made. Among the new songs are: "I'm Tell-
ing You," "Under Skies of Home, Sweet Home,"
"Wuey," "The Laughing Vamp" and "Mammy's
Apron Strings." A feature of the act is the
playing of eight pianos in unison.
The United Song Writers, Manhattan, has
been incorporated with capital stock of $500,000,
to engage in the music publishing business. The
incorporators are F. J. Schaab, H. D. Chapot
and J. F. Mahoney.
Leo Feist, Inc.. has just published a now song
by Al Piantodosi and Bert Walton entitled "You
Can't Do It, You Won't Do It." This is a
"Blue Law" song which has already made an
impression.
