REVIEW
In the World of Music Publishing
GERMAN PUBLISHERS" AGAINST DISCOUNTS.
The music publishers and dealers of Ger-
many have decided to no longer make a re-
duction in the price of music to professional
musicians and teachers. They find that this
custom has been much abused, and undoubt-
edly they are right. It is the same in this
country, although everyone knows the ab-
surdly low price of popular music as sold
in the department stores. But in the case
of higher class music as published by Boosey
& Co., the Oliver Ditson Co., Schirmer's, the
William Maxwell Music Co., and others,
nine people out of ten claim a professional
discount.
It is a move in the rignt direction for the
German publishers, and there are many re-
forms that we should like to see in the sheet
music trade of this country along similar
lines. We have a music publishers' associ-
ation which meets once a year, and that is
about all that thev do.
White Way." Frank Moulan is a comedian
through and through, never vulgar, and al-
ways funny. He reminds one at times of
Dan Leno, the well-known English artist.
Maude Lillian Berri, the prima donna, pos-
sesses a voice which puts her away up at
the top of comic opera singers. She is a
good actress and has a pleasing personality.
The only suggestion that we make is that
we should have liked to have seen some one
else play Chiquita. The best numbers are
"The Peachy Teacher," "Engaged in a Sort
of Way," "Mv Sulu Lulu Loo," "R-e-
m-o-r-s-e" and "Since I First Met You."
The music is published by M. Witmark &
Sons, and is a worthy addition to their al-
ready phenomenal catalogue of musical com-
edies and light operas.
