TAZZ is Dead come on to Potters Field
and bury the corpse. But where is
the corpse? A trip along the cabaret
route of New York doesn't produce one; on
every side you can hear raucous voices
raised in the familiar discords: at every
table you have to scream to the waiter to
make him hear above the din of jazz
Discredited this syncopated stuff may be.
but It is far from dead. 1t is dying, though
there are signs pointing to its demise, but
the yell still sounds In its throat, and will
until the last gurgle. In a cabaret the other
night asudden silence fell on the jazz band ;
they sat stiffly back in their seats, dropping
the instruments of torture while the piano
player pedalled softly out the notes of a
sentimental prelude, and a nymph who until
then had shouted and leaped like bacchante
advarced demurely and sang an affecting
ballad, of which this was the refrain
You do not love me-noi
Bid me goodby and go.
Farewell, farewell, tits better so.
Bid me goodby and go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!
With the notes decade of years fell off
and we were back to THE Face on the Bar
room Floor" and other tear compelling bal
lads. And there is no doubt about the effect
of the goodby song Everybody Strengthened
up and listened seriously, applauding at the
close, while a middle aged blonde with
white rock complexion and dressed in two
shades of green summarized the feelings
OF the crowd when she said to the room
at large:
"Aint II sweet? ] love a movin song!"

gain an idea of the scope of the latter craze
read 1.-The Adventures of Milkmaid."
Jazz, however has twofold life, vocal
as well as pedal, and It is the former which
first shows the signs of old age and ap
preaching dissolution. Certain of the dances
which grew out of it have been lately sane
toned by royalty and so may hope for a new
lease, but the songs, so-caled, where synco-
patton has usurped the place of counterpoint,
are rapidly falling into the ash can.

predict, and blow jazz so far out to sea that
it will never find its way back.
Another throvbaob. but humorous in it's
yelp, is Don't Judge a Girl by Her Dress,
Boys" which runs like this:
When Brother Bob was most grown up
And was six feet three
Mother thought twas time for us
To gather round her knee
And list to words of warning
OF things boys ought to dread.
The chief of which Is woman.
And this is what she said
A publisher who was fed up on patriotic
songs, in which he declared there never
was a dollar made" said that IL he could
get worthy successor to the song II Had
Fifteen Dollars In My Inside Pocket" he
would put all the money he could borrow and
beg into it and expect TO retire wealthy. He
remarked:
ut was never so easy to call the turn on
what the public want in the way of a song
as now. All that is needed are the lyric
writer's who can feel the public pulse and
the music composer who can set their words
to a catchy musical phrase. There's fortune
for them and for the publisher too.
Pathetic or funny, only let both be simple
and the people will eat their songs up. They
have turned against jazz and ulxelele stuff
back to what l call nature"
A new fleld mas been opened to the writer's
of song hits by the phonograph, which
makes their work widely known and hence
more profitable.
American Productions Meet Keener
Rivalry in London and Paris
This new outlet for their wares comes in
handy because of rivalry and opposition from
Paris and London. In the latter city. once n
great mart for American hits and ballads.
the publishers have combined to protect
themselves. According to English song pub
fishers the American method was what made
American songs so successful there Our
publishers give free copies and orchestra
tions TO actors and conductors in order TO
plug a number. The British publisher sells
his wares to actor and conductor and for a
good price he will consent to one or the
other having full control of a song. The
result is bad for publicity.
One OF the latest French song hits is
Paris Qui Jazz" paris which jazzes). which
is the most tingling OF dance pieces. Others
are Mon Homme." Everybody EnvIes Me
When They See Me with My Man." ",The
Indiscreet Moon" "Tchou-Tchou" and "The
Gri-Gri of Love-" all in ragtme melody. In
the cafes, where Jazz reigns apparently
without any fear OF a revolution. the inn
ported songs and dances have been eagerly
accepted.
All the same the pronouncement has gone
forth that jazz has had its day. II grew in
its latest phases too rough, too barbaric. too
capable of double Interpretation. therefore
its song hits are to be barred from the
better theatres, and the vaudeville deitlcs
are looking up back numbers and keeping
eyes open for new pathos and comedy that
they mean to use on circuit.

At the session il was decided to

In discussion of business condi-
tons and methods R. H. Kennedy,
Dayton, Ohio, declared that the re-
ports of mercantile AGENCIES show
that 81 per cent of the retail firms
in America that failed last year were
those which did not advertise in the

"The overhead expense, what the
work costs, how to attract trade by
service and how to fix the selling
price to give net profit to the
dealer or merchant and not over

The speaker predicted improved
business conditions in the immediate
future through a readjustment of
foreign trade, and through the CO.
operation of business interests.
He expressed the opinion that the
textile mills soon would reopen and
that there would be a revival of the
building industry.
