"LITTLE NELLIE KELLY" LEADS
Songs of George M. Cohan's Musical Comedy,
Published by M. Witmark, Popular, With
"Little Nellie Kelly" Taking the Lead
The fame of '.'Little Nellie Kelly" is growing
fast. After the phenomenal run of this George
M. Cohan musical comedy triumph in Boston
it has settled down in New York for an in-
definite period and arrangements have already
been completed for its early production in Lon-
don by Charles Cochran and also in far
Australia by Hugh Ward. Overnight hits have
a deplorable habit of getting winded by too
quick a start, but "Little Nellie Kelly" prom-
ises a brighter future. This is the outstanding
song of the show.
All the songs from this show are having a
demand. That is one of its significant features.
The sales are not confined to the vicinity of
its immediate performance. The success of
George M. Cohan songs has spread over the
country. The leading favorites, of course, are
"You Remind Me of My Mother," "Till My
Luck Comes Rolling Along" and "Nellie Kelly
I Love You," but the rest of the published
numbers, issued by M. Witmark & Sons, are
lively sellers, and include "The Voice in My
Heart," "Dancing My Worries Away," "All in
the Wearing," "All My Boys," "The Name of
Kelly" and "The Hinkey Dee."
"Lovin' Sam" is the title of a new novelty
song issued by Ager, Yellen & Bornstein, Inc.

C. C. CHURCH AND COMPANY
HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT
Hartford—New York—London—Paris—Sydney
To give the unheard works of composers a
trial hearing, the International Composers'
Guild, formed to advance the cause of modern
music, announces that its program committee
has set aside one day of every month, begin^
ning December 19, when it will act as a sort of
clearing house to which musicians may bring
their unknown products.
Compositions which this committee believes to
be of a sufficiently high standard will be given
the opportunity of public performance at the
Guild concerts. Though the programs for the
first two of its Sunday evening subscription
series at the Klaw Theatre, December 1/ and
January 21, have already been arranged, the
third program, for March 4, is still under con-
sideration.
Premier American performances will be gi\«.n
at the Guild's first concert of Kavel's sonata
for violin and 'cello, songs by Saininsky Marius
Gaillard and Arthur Lourie, all rendered by
Mnie. Leblanc Maeterlinck, Ruggles's work for
trumpets, two piano pieces of D. Rudyr and a
violin and piano sonata of Arthur Honneger.
The second concert will be devoted to Schon-
berg's "Pierrot Lunaire."
FEIST HIT SOLVES THEFT
Talking Machine and Record of "Three o'Clock
in the Morning" Stolen—Cop Hears Same
Tune, Investigates, and Makes Arrest
The success of the Leo Feist, Inc., number,
"Three o'Clock in the Morning," is so universal
as to make it frequently the by-word when the
appropriate occasion arises. In the larger cities
where the public is given to late after-theatre
hours this song is referred to as the national
anthem.
Recently the record of "Three o'Clock in the
Morning" was an aid in solving the theft of a
talking machine. The report of the Chicago
Police Department states that at a party given
by one Pearl Kauffman her talking machine
to'gether with a record of this waltz disap-
peared. Several nights later a sergeant and
two policemen passing a house heard "Three
o'Clock in the Morning" being played on a
talking machine and investigated, with the re-
sult that an arrest in the case was made.
VICTOR RECORDS_OF WITMARK HITS
Victor Talking Machine Co. and Others Re-
lease Records of Witmark Song Hits
The percentage of representation on the mid-
month December special releases by the lead-
ing talking machine record companies held by
M. Witmark & Sons was high and speaks vol-
umes for the popularity of and demand for the
numbers issued by this firm. There is a double-
faced record featuring the two biggest hits
from George M. Cohan's musical comedy tri-
umph, "Little Nellie Kelly." On one side the
American Quartet sings "Nellie Kelly I Love
You" and on the reverse Henry Burr gives a
fine rendering of "You Remind Me of My
Mother." The latter was issued as an instru-
mental fox-trot feature by the Victor Talking
