HOW “BUTTERFLY” WON. The only way to make @ song popu- dar is to sing 1 dn public and keep dinging tt. The story of the succes of “Poor Butterfly” illustrates th point. When the current Hippodrome show was in preparation Raymond Hubbell, composer, went to John 1. Golden, who writes lyrics when he fen't counting his money, and said “John, I've got a sort of a Japanese melody that needs eome words. How about it?” Mr. Golden said he'd try to write them. In casting about for an idea he hit upon the plan of putting the story of "Madame Butterfly” into a song. He did and “Poor Butterfly” was the result. The song didn’t make any particular impression on the first night audience. The writer of this | column heard it and remembered | neither words nor music, After it had | been in the show a few weeks Charles Dillingham called Mr. Golden into his | office and said he guessed he'd bave to take the song out. | “It doesn't seem to be making much | * he said. fact,” replied Mr. Golden. it come out?” “Get Mr. Dillingham to k it in “The sales are ‘ce keep the son; weeks longer and be acquis vrom that time on “Poor Bu evew in popularity and now thou. sands of copies are being sold every day. Incidentally, it might be stated that ‘ne little Japanese girl who first sang (; at the Hip was displaced by Bophye Barnard, Perhaps that helped. A HUMAN NATURE TOUCH, A young man who went out on tho platform at the downtown Seventy- second Street elevated station yester- vay attracted much attention, Walk- ing to the extreme northerly end of | the platform he began to make signs! with his hands and wave his hat. He! looked as though he might be a Ger- | man, and immediately the waiting crowd began to regard bim sus- piciously. Finally the ticket chopper, © young Irishman, approached the man and asked him what he was doing. The man sald something which the crowd didn't hear, and con- | Unued his strange actions, while the) \cket-chopper returned to his post. | “What's the matter with him?’ somebody asked. “Look over in that second-floor! winder an’ ye'll gee f'r yerself,” re-| plied the Irishman. The crowd looked. In the window | as a little golden-batred baby clap- | ping tts bands in wild excitement. BY WAY OF DIVERSION, Listen, Mother! Don't be sighin’!
