MAURICE SHAPIRO SPEAKS OF HIS TRIP.
Maurice Shapiro of Shapiro, Bernstein &
Von Tilzer, returned from his long trip in
the West, on Monday last, and on the after-
noon of that day, a representative of The Re-
view was fortunate enough to find him at
leisure for a chat.
"As to the condition of the trade," said
Mr. Shapiro, "I would not be telling the
truth if I said it was in an extra flourishing
condition this season. Of course I am speak-
ing generally. There seem to be two things
wrong: first the lack of a pronounced phe-
nomenal country sweeping hit, which un-
doubtedly increases the demand for popular
music in general. Secondly, over-produc-
tion, and cheap goods. There isn't a town in
the United States which hasn't got a local
music publisher that does not think his pub-
lications would be a world better if he were
only in New York. They sell their produc-
tions at any figure, and the dealers claiming
that as long as there are as big hits on the
market say 'all goods look alike' to them,
and push the cheapest. There is one thing I
have noticed this year, that every prominent
music publisher has more good steady sellers
than heretofore, but not one 'sweeping hit.'
The department stores throughout the coun-
try are without question in the lead as far
as selling popular music is concerned, and
while the slashing cutting of prices every-
where by them is to be regretted, the fact
must remain that they are a boon to pub-
lishers at present, though it is doubtful as
to their effect in the future. How the mu-
sic stores sell music at full prices I don't
know. In Milwaukee and Detroit they have
competed with the department stores, selling
even below them, much to everyone's dis-
comfiture. Now as to the dealers I met on
my trip, they and their assistants are as nice
a lot of fellows as I would want to meet. The
following is a list of people that I saw. In
Boston—George W. Setchell, at Pitts Kim-
