play of the music at Gimbel Bros. Dainty

pheum in Brooklyn.
BOSTON MUSIC HALL GETS RIGHTS.
M. Witmark & Son have made arrange-
ments with the Boston Music Hall, whereby
the latter will have the right to produce all
the Weber Fields' burlesques, except "Fid-
dle-Dee-Dee" and "Hoity-Toity."
Louis De Lange will be the producer. As
to the cast, the rumors at present give the pos-
sibilities of Peter F. Dailey's appearance.
Robert Hilliard will probably play Chas. J.
Ross' parts, while Pauline Hall will be the
"leading lady." All well-known people will
appear in the principal roles, and the manage-
ment confidentially predict that they will be
able to gather together a number of beauti-
ful maidens for the chorus. That is the rea-
son an impromptu celebration was held in
Cambridge one night last week, and the news
has been received with much joy in the
realms of the Back Bay and Mount Vernon
Street.
THEY DISSOLVE PARTNERSHIP.
Quite the most important change that has
occurred in the music publishing trade for
some time, was announced last Monday when
Harry Von Tilzer left the firm of which he
was a junior partner. There have been ru-
mors of this the past two weeks in the
"Street," and on Mr. Shapiro's return the
dissolution was arranged amicably. Mr.
Von Tilzer has not been quite satisfied with
his position in the firm for some time, and
there was an open rupture at the time his
brother, Al. Von Tilzer left, but, fortunately
for all, things have been settled quietly and
everyone is satisfied. Maurice Shapiro and
Louis Bernstein will continue the business
under the old name, and have purchased from
Harry Von Tilzer, for a large sum of mon-
ey, his royalties, manuscripts, and partner-
ship rights, giving him his freedom to com-
pose music for other publishers or to publish
music himself.

course of an address in London. He said:
"My purpose is to add to the recognized
number of arts one other, the art of acting—
that art which Voltaire spoke of as the most'
beautiful, the most difficult, the most rare.
The great bulk of thinking and unthinking
people accept acting as one of the arts. It
is merely for a formal and official recogni-
tion of the fact that I ask.
"Acting is a part of human nature. It
is originally nature's own method of educa-
tion in the earliest stages, and its purpose-
ful organization is like that of any other or-
ganization—an art. . . . Is it to be seri-
ously set forth by anyone as an argument
that art ceases to be art because its work
does not endure? The life of all things of
the world is bounded by time and the many
accidents and disasters which are time's
agents of destruction. Surely, of all the
materials in which art can work, marble-
brick and metal are the most enduring, and

THE PEERLESS PUBLISHING CO.
The Peerless Publishing Co. are having
quite a run on their waltz song, "My Love
of Long Ago." Other songs well known by
dealers and which are on their catalogue are:
"Best Gal I Ever Struck," "Still I Am
True," "You Are Not the Girl I Loved Long
Ago." They are also taking advance orders
on their sacred song, "Festal Praise." This
publication has a beautiful refrain and quar-
tette, and is suitable for Christmas, Easter,
or any religious holiday. Among the in-
strumental pieces which are being played
far and wide are the "Pan-American" march,
by Du Bois; "Juana Valsette Espagnole,"
by Wetzel; the "Sportsman" two-step, by
Du Bois, and the "Chimes of Freedom"
march, by Mangold. Dealers who are not
acquainted with the Peerless Publishing Co.
should not hesitate to learn more about them
at the very earliest opportunity.
Miss May Allen has been very successful
in New York vaudeville houses with "Maizy,

'Seven Wonders of the World?' Gone.
Aye, and gone with them millions of art
works, by myriads of workers in countless
ages—men now nameless, but once full of
honor, and whose work was and is placed
in the existing category of the arts.
"Acting may be evanescent, it may work
in the media of common nature; it may be
mimetic like the other arts; it may not create
any more than does the astronomer or the
naturalist, but it can live and can add to the
sum of human knowledge in the ever vary-
ing study of man's nature by man, and its
work ca.n, like the six out of seven wonders
of the world, exist as a great memory."
SOLD 1,200 STERLING PIANOS.
Speaking of the Sterling Piano Co.'s new
building at Fulton and Hanover streets,
Brooklyn, and which was illustrated two
weeks ago in The Review, the Tribune says:
"It is one of the handsomest stores and
warehouses of its size in Brooklyn. From the
time the contract was made for the purchase
of the site, then known as the Bank, a his-
toric landmark, down to the time when the
last bit of decoration was placed in the build-
ing, the controlling spirit of the enterprise
was W. S. Denslow, the president and gen-
eral manager of the Sterling Piano Co. A
description of the building would fail to give
an idea of its beauty and usefulness, such as
a visit to Fulton street and Hanover Place
would give. It is five stories high, built in
the prevailing style of architecture, and is
attractive from all points of view.
"While the Sterling Piano Co. has been
fory-one years in existence, it is only five
years since it came to Brooklyn, apparently
unheralded.
"Since that time there has been sold by the
company 12,000 pianos. The average sales
during the season have been from twelve to
twenty pianos daily. They have even ex-
ceeded the latter figures on some occasions.
While the company attributes its success to
the high quality of its piano and its Sterling
methods of conducting its business, its many
employees are entitled to much credit.
"The company's delivery system is well
planned. There are four large padded vans
built especially for the carting of pianos. The
Sterling vans, with their uniform carmen,
are familiar sights on the streets of Brook-
lyn."
PROGRESSIVE HOUSTON.
In the souvenir of the City of Houston,
Tex., for 1901-2 just issued, some very flat-
tering words appear regarding the enterprise
of the H. C. Sherrod Piano Co., who handle
the Weber, Sohmer, Steck, Crown, Ivers &
Pond, Lester and Wheelock pianos, and the
Angelus piano-player in that city. The vol-
ume is a beautifully illustrated one and con-
veys a most convincing impression regarding
the importance and development of this en-
terprising city of the South.
The many friends of A. C. Cox, chief of
the retail sales department at Steinway Hall,
are rejoicing that he is once more with them.
Mr. Cox had been quite ill but is fast regain-
ing his old-time strength.
