The Music Trade Review
New Mother Song Issued
by L. Wolfe Gilbert
Century
Edition
Is the best buy and the
biggest seller in the sheet
music industry.
The above is not simply an
advertising statement, but
an unquestionable fact.
Ask the dealers who handle
the line—they know.
L. Wolfe Gilbert, one of the best known of
present-day song writers, is reaching the period
of his career where he is considered among the
pioneers. Certainly he has established a record
for almost a score of years of writing popular
songs of every type applicable to ever-changing
tastes.
When it is considered that in his early days
he was one of the first writers of Mississippi
steamboat songs, including the famous "Robert'
R. Lee," it can be readily seen that to review
his history one must delve fairly far into the
past. Later he contributed several numbers to
Century Music Pub. Go.

New York
Harry Von Tilzer, pioneer song writer and
publisher, 1587 Broadway, New York City, is
opening the season with two new songs,
"Under a Wurzburger Tree," and "Keep a
Little Sunshine in Your Heart." The latter
number was recently introduced by Ted Lewis
and His Band in his new show which opened
some time ago in Chicago.
The Wurzburger number will recall to many
members of the trade Harry Von Tilzer's hit
of twenty-four years ago called "Down Where
the Wurzburger Flows." All of Harry's friends
hope that the new song will duplicate the
earlier success.

the period when the Hawaiian song was at its
best or at least when it was turned out in its
greatest quantities. He has been a consistent
writer of love songs and some of them, although
in popular style, are still remembered, such as
"Sweet Adair."
The records do not show that he took any
great part in the splurge of Mammy songs of a
few short years ago. Whether he disagreed
with the treatment of the idea of that period is
not known. His name, however, does not ap-
pear upon the title pages of any of the best-
known songs of the "loving" and "crying"
mammy days.
Possibly Wolfe Gilbert felt the style of that
period of "mammy" popularity was a desecra-
tion of a precious idea. At least that is the first
thought that comes to mind when reviewing the
Wolfe Gilbert mother song, "Calling Me Home."
He waited a long while to write this mother
song, but the time lost, seemingly, has been
well worth the delay. "Calling Me Home" is a
masterpiece ballad of mother, home and love.
It was written by a lyric master. Undoubtedly
the wealth of heart interest and sentiment ex-
pressed in the song is the result of being able
to look back upon a life of successful song writ-
ing. Thus he was able to give to this mother
song only the best experience and knowledge.
There are also the added indefinable expressions
of a poet who knows that sentiments of mother
home and love are nearest the hearts of popu-
lar music purchasers.
New Compositions Found
in Oliver Ditson Lists
Some Interesting New Selections of Novel
Order Are Offered—Several Folios of Piano
Compositions Included
Among the new issues appearing in the Oliver
Ditson Co. catalog is a piano composition en-
titled "Dancing and Singing" by Theodora Dut-
ton. This is one of a series of five "early pro-
gram pieces" by the same composer, the others
being "A Rainy Day in the Garret," "A Rock-
ing-Chair Story," "In the Poppy Field" and
"The Old Castle."
Carl Wilhelm Kern has contributed the fol-
lowing piano solos: "Friendship Gavotte," "A
Night on the River," "Silver Flash" and "The
Tale of the Forest Brook."
To the piano compositions by Constantin
Sternberg has been added "En Carrousel" (on
the merry-go-round).
There has also been added to Ditson "six
hand piano music" two numbers by Mathilde
Bilbro called "Antoinette Waltz" and "Let Us
Go,", these numbers are particularly adapted
for grades one, two and three. Also for young
students Paul Zilcher has contributed a folio of
twelve easy piano pieces, titles of which are
particularly appropriate and the music simple
in character. The titles include "Morning
Song," "In Flowery Meadows," "Little Waltz,"
"March," "Gavotte," "Teasing," "Minuet," "At
the Fountain" and "Cheerfulness."
