Among the new releases of the Oliver Ditson
Co. is the song entitled "My Flower of Life,"
the words and music of which are by Samuel
Richards Gaines. The song is attractively pre-
sented. There is a new sacred song by Alfred
Wooler, entitled "Jesus, the Very Thought of
Thee"; a song for men called "The Open Road,"
with music by William Stickles, to a poem by
Gretchen Dick; a song for high voice by Janet
Grace, called "Deep in the Night"; Massenet's
"Elegy," set for violin or 'cello obbligato; "Mem-
ory's Harbor," a song with violin, by Robert
Coverly; a musical setting of Mary Elizabeth
Sanford's "Six Purple Violets," by Dagmar
De Corval Rybner; a sacred song entitled "Oh,
Let Me Ever Know Thee Near Me." A new
addition to the Russian songs is Rinsky-Korsa-
koff's "Cradle Song" and an addition to the
French folksongs called "Memories Tender,"
arranged by William Arms Fischer from the
original "Combien J'ai Douce Souvenance." A
series of selections from "Lohengrin," under one
cover, transcribed for the piano by various com-
posers and edited by J. O. von Prochazka is also
included in these new offerings.
In recent years a no small number of con-
cert artists has made successful as well as
profitable appearances in motion picture houses.
In fact, some of the better-grade photoplay ex-
hibitors offer bookings over long periods. In a
number of cases some of these artists have been
booked for reappearances and there is a decided
tendency for some of the more successful of.
the better class singers to continue their work
for motion picture audiences, having found them
most responsive.
One of the outstanding successes in this work
is the dramatic soprano, Louise Loring, who
has sometimes been called "Queen of Screen
Singers." Recently Miss Loring appeared at
many of the motion picture houses in upper
New York, including the Eastman Theatre of
59
Rochester. She will shortly begin a tour in
western Canada, playing the Famous Players
photoplay houses.
Among songs Miss Loring is programming
this season are several numbers from the cat-
alog of Chappell-Harms, Inc., including "Roses
of Picardy," "O! Dry Those Tears," "If Win-
ter Comes," "Smile Thru Your Tears" and
"Homing."
"Dancin' Dan" Going Well
Irving Berlin, Inc., recently acquired from
Goodman & Rose, Inc., one of the season's nov-
elties entitled "Dancin' Dan." The number has
been accepted by many vaudeville singers and
the Berlin organization looks forward to it being
one of the quickest comedy song successes of
the season. A campaign in orchestra circles has
also been arranged by the publishers and this,
together with the exploitation activities of the
various Berlin branch offices, should make
"Dancin' Dan" an active trade seller in all sec-
tions of the country.

"He Galls Me Honey in the
Morning" in Stafford List
Professional Copies Already Issued and a Cam-
paign Is Under Way to Popularize It Among
the Vaudeville Artists
Among the new numbers added to the cata-
log of L. F. Stafford & Co., Syracuse, N. Y.,
is a novelty entitled "He Calls Me Honey in
the Morning." Professional copies of this song
have already been issued and a campaign among
vaudeville performers will shortly be inaugu-
rated.
Several numbers in the Stafford catalog have
had wide publicity,, particularly through radio
stations. Among these are the songs "There's
a Bungalow That's Waiting," "Argentine" and
"Tillie." The former number has created wide-
spread comment, many broadcasting stations
repeatedly offering it to their patrons with the
result that both the consumer and the broad-
caster have written letters of favorable char-
acter to the publisher. Many orchestra leaders
have also been programming several of the
Stafford publications.
