MEETING OF CHICAGO
SHEET MUSIC CLUB
The monthly dinner of the Men's Sheet
Music Club, of Chicago, brought out thirty
local members and two Eastern visitors, L.
Wolfe Gilbert and William Wayman. The
meeting was preceded by a 6:00 o'clock din-
ner at the Rialto Gardens on March 4.
President Edward Fitzmaurice acted as chair-
man and plans were discussed for a definite
program of entertainment for the music pub-
lishing visitors who will attend the annual
convention in Chicago in June.
A movement was inaugurated to secure ad-
ditional members to the club and an extensive
entertainment program is expected to be ar-
ranged for at the April dinner, which will
probably be in another hotel, a committee con-
sisting of Messrs. Bachmann, Dempsey and
Lavin being appointed to procure an ade-
quate place for the meetings.
At the April meeting also Mrs. Schaefer,
of Melrose Bros., will explain and discuss
the features of the Vestal bill which passed
the House but did not reach a vote in the
Senate owing to a crowded calendar.
TO PUBLISH SCORE OF
"SINGIN 1 THE BLUES"
The Robbins Music Corp. has concluded
the arrangements with Aarons & Freedley,
well-known musical comedy producers, to
publish the score of the forthcoming produc-
tion, "Singin' the Blues," a musical drama
by John McGowan.
Joseph M. Priaulx, for many years man-
ager of the retail music department of the
Oliver Ditson Co., New York, and known to
a host of friends in the music world as
"Uncle Joe," is now associated with G. Schir-
mer, Inc., in their retail store.

EDWARD B. MARKS, JR.
N O W AN EDITOR
It has just been announced that Edward
B. Marks, Jr., younger son of the music pub-
lisher, has been elected managing editor of
The Dartmouth, the daily publication of
Dartmouth College, Hanover, N. H. Mr.
Marks enters this important office in Feb-
ruary and will hold the executive reins for
one year. He is at present a junior, major-
ing in English and taking honors in this sub-
ject at the present time.
Incidentally Mr. Marks, Jr.'s new song,
"Lovesick," bids fair to bring him rewards
equally as notable in the field of popular
music, for this melody fox-trot, while prac-
tically brand new, has caught on with a ven-
geance.
U. S. Music Co. Formed
David F. Kemp, president of the U. S.
School of Music, and publisher of the well-
known home study music courses for individ-
ual instruction, announces the formation of
a new division, to be known as the IT. S.
Music Co., with headquarters at 225 Fifth
avenue for the publication of music texts.
The first series to be published for school
use is "The Piano Course for Juniors." De-
vised by the well-known pianist and teacher,
Jacob Eisenberg. From time to time it is
planned to bring out additional work suitable
for elementary and high school grades, as
well as works of pedagogical interest.
Evan Alan Lottman Here
A typical play bill announcing the howl-
ing success "It's a Boy," and with cast of
characters, musical numbers and credits com-
plete, was received recently by friends of
Mr. and Mrs. George D. Lottman, the for-
mer being publicity director of the Robbins
Music Corp. On close examination the play
bill was found to announce the arrival of
Evan Alan Lottman in the family household
on March 20.
