Last Ball Ballad
Proving Big Success
"Watching the World Go By," the last song
written by Ernest B. Ball and sung by him in
vaudeville immediately prior to his unexpected
death last May, is showing signs of eventually
becoming one of the biggest ballad successes
fiom his pen. In vaudeville and in picture houses
"Watching the World Go By" is already a song
that customarily wins applause and encores, and
the publishers, M. Witmark & Sons, New York,
report that sales have been active, even without
having embarked on any intensive campaign in
the interest of the number. It is evident to the
publishers that this success is due to merits
oi" the number itself and not merely because of
the sentimental interest attached to it as the
last of the Ball ballads.
Four Valuable Little
Volumes From Ditson Go.
The Oliver Ditson Co. has just issued fou'
valuable additions to their series, "The Pocket
Music Student," the set of convenient volume,
each containing selected and authentic informa-
tion regarding music and musicians. The four
new volumes are: "Noted Names in Music," by
W. J. Baltzell; "The Why and How of Music
Study," by Chas. H. Farnsworth; "Handbook of
Musical Terms," by Karl W. Gehrkens, and
"Psychology for the Music Teacher," by Walter
