FORTUNES MADE BY SONG WRIT.

In the October American Magazine,
there is an article about the fortunes
made by song writers. The writer
says:
When the new style OF popular
song had wormed its way into the
public's heart, the Bowery took Harry
Won Tilzer In hand and tutored him
with the intention OF having him
amuse and entertain the public with
his melodies. Won Tilzer was born
In Indiana. and his musical education
consisted Of one piano lesson. But
the Bowery was after a creator not
a player. Won Tilzer CLEANED his con.
ception OF popular music and harmony
from the %malodorous concert halls
filled with clouds OF cheap cigarette
smoke, %semLhappy sailors. and paiat.
ed. whirling faces. At the inception
OF his career he wrote long and often
but no n displayed any interest N
his work and he had a desperate
time OF II keeping body and soul In
tact.

me to write a dozen songs than make
