is surprising the progress this firm is mak-
ing. The catalogue numbers some twenty-
five pieces, and they prove good sellers.
"In the Palace of the King" is a beautiful
number, by Carrie F. Briegel, and is fast
becoming popular.
WITMARK EXPANSION IN ENGLAND.
Isidor Witmark will sail for England
early in March, where he will superintend
the purchasing of the London Witmark
Building. Business has increased to such
proportions during the winter in their
present quarters in the Featherstone
Building, Holborn, London, that the
rooms they occupy there are found to be
quite inadequate.
flAKlNG QUITE A NAME.
Miss Emma Francis is a clever little wo-
man who is making quite a name for her-
self in the "Roger Brothers in Central
Park" show, now touring in this country.
Miss Francis possesses a good voice and is a
pretty dancer. One song which she is fea-
turing with much success is "Emma Dear,"
which is the latest composition of that pro-
lific young man, Pat Rooney. "What he
can't do with his hands he does with his

in that. Other successful songs published
by this house are "We'll Never Haul the
Old Flag Down," "Broadway Promenade,"
"I Only Hope She's Sorry," "You're Just
the Girl for Me," "Bed-time's Near,"
"Taffy," "Liza, Liza Mine," "When He's
Full," "Parted at the-"Altar" and "No-
body's Business But My Own." The in-
strumental hits are "Belle of New York"
selections, "My Lady Dainty" gavotte,
"Queen of the Dance" and "Intermission"
waltzes.
REALLY A WONDER.
One of the latest boy sopranos to join
the Witmark clientele of singers is Master
Willie Howard. He is really a wonder;
his voice is perfect in every detail. A light
song, which he sings with much success, is
" Sadie, Say You Won't Say Nay."
The Carol Club Ladies'Quartet are using
almost entirely the Witmark publications.
Among other songs may be mentioned:
" T h e Lass I Love" and "Dreaming of
the Bygone Days," Cobb and Edwards'
latest composition. Miss Florence Reed,
the charming daughter of Roland Reed,
who has lately made her debut on the
vaudeville stage, sings one song in her
sketch; it is " You Am The One," by Gil-
lespie and Newcombe.
HIGH PRAISE FOR HILLS' SONGS.
Miss Annie Hart, the charming vocalist
whose picture brightens the columns of
The Review this week, is singing entirely
the F. A. Mills' publications. In writing
to this firm recently she said, "I have
never used a more successful ballad than
'Heart Of My Heart,' a more successful
love song than 'My Lady Love,' or a more
successful comic song, than 'I Am Wait-
ing Here For Julia;' these three songs are
winners." High praise ^coming ^from *so
talented an artiste.
Pete Carroll, is once more to be seen
about the "street," and many were the
"glad hands" stretched out to him on his
recovery. There is not a more popular
man in the business, than this clever young
composer. It is no wonder, that you hear
F. A. Mills' songs everywhere, when you
have Pete Carroll to push them.

ANSTEAD'S GREAT •• HIT."
W. H. Anstead certainly showed great
judgment and displayed his musical ability
in acquiring the rights of that beautiful
sacred song "In the Cathedral.'' There is
nothing more stirring than a really good
sacred song and this one certainly fills that
place. J. Aldrich Libbey is singing it
regularly and he has seldom been heard to
better advantage than when using this
song. Another fine song published by
Mr. Anstead, "The Life Belt," is also be-
ing sung by Mr. Libbey. Mr. Anstead is
getting together a first-rate catalogue and
his selections include nothing but good
songs. He says he will not pay profes-
sionals to sing his songs as he firmly be-
lieves that once a good song gets around
that the professionals are only too eager to
sing it, and there may be plenty of truth
