arc responsible for the new big musical
success, "Merry Merry," which recently opened
at the Vanderbilt Theatre, New York City. This
makes the third popular offering by this suc-
cessful writing team in as many years. Roth
of their previous successes, "Little Jessie James"
and "My Girl," are still producing profits, as a
number of companies playing these shows are
on tour.
This makes the third season for "Little Jessie
James" and second season for "My Girl." "Mer-
ry Merry," the latest offering, has all the ear-
marks of being a production with even a longer
life. No show in recent years has been hailed
with so much enthusiasm by the dramatic critics
and music lovers. If mere words of praise were
to send a show on its way to success, "Merry
Merry" would be assured of long life. The book,
while good, however, is not the basis of the
show's success.
"Merry Merry" is alluring and satisfying
through its music. It is brimful with melody.

Old Songs and Older
Sonic months back various radio broadcasting
stations had a series of programs based upon
the revival of old songs. Most of these num-
bers were popular a generation ago, and their
appearance via the air for a short period brought
lorth numerous requests for their continuance.
This demand for the old songs from radio
broadcasting stations seems to be waning. The
pmbahiliti's are that they have again been heard
too often. The love for the old melodies prob-
ably remains, but an occasional hearing is more
appreciated than the frequent programming.
Much of their value is based upon reminiscences,
and recalling the past occasionally does one
good, but too much of it spoils the effect.

remembered is "My Own." The words of the
last are particularly worth while and will do
much to create a call for it so that the homes
throughout the country can have the gem at

by M. Witmark & Sons
104 Popular Numbers, Chosen on Basis of De-
mand, Issued by This Publisher in New
Format
Harlan Thompson
Three of. the numbers will be huge successes
before the season closes, and all of them are
musical gems. The dance numbers are original,
lending themselves to novelty performance, the
type that make the feet respond.
Too much cannot be said for the music, all
of which is by Harry Archer. But in respond-
ing to the enthusiasm which these melodies
create, Harlan Thompson, who wrote the book
and who is also responsible for the lyrics, must
theatres, besides meeting the wants of teachers
of the piano through their attractive variety and
unusual merit. Among the eminent composers
represented in the first set of the new series are
Victor Herbert, Theodore Bendix, Paul Wachs
and other composers of similar note. All of
the names will be familiar to music lovers.
In conjunction with the issuance of this new sc-
ries, M. Witmark will carry on a very active cam-
paign to help the dealer in selling the material
to teachers, conservatories and others who arc
in the market for finely edited, fingered,
phrased, pedaled and metronome marked pub-
lications.
M. Witmark & Sons recently announced as
ready for the trade the first set of a series of
unusual instrumental numbers, which have been
reissued in very attractive dress in response to
many requests from dealers in various parts of
the country. This new series will total 104 num-
bers, all of which, however, have been chosen
on the basis of demand from enterprising deal-
ers. The new edition includes a great many of
the very best instrumental numbers in the Wit-
mark catalog. They will now be issued in the
new standard size and printed from finely en-
graved plates on the highest quality stock.
The compositions are especially adapted for
use by pianists and organists of motion picture
Secretary of the Stale of New York has
granted a certificate of incorporation to B. C.
Hilliam for the purpose of publishing music.
The incorporators are B. C. Hilliam, the com-
poser, F. W. Proctor and L. H. Bradshaw.
