MUSIC
In the World of Music Publishing
EXCLUDE "[MASTERS IN MUSIC" FROM MAILS.
[Special to The Review.]
Boston, Mass., Feb. 3, 1903.
The music publishing house of Bates &
Guild, of Boston, have begun a test case
against the Boston Post Office Department
with an injunction to prevent the exclusion
of their periodical called Masters in Music,
from the second-class mail privilege. Each
issue of the publication consists of a biogra-
phy, appreciation, and critique of some emi-
nent composer, with several folios of music
written by him. It was ruled out on the
ground that the printed sheet music and
other contents belonged rather to the third-
class than to the second-class mail matter.
This is one of the typical illustrations of a
certain class of cases on which the Depart-
ment has wished for a long time to have a
definite decision by the courts, and the pres-
ent test is,therefore,welcomed. Holmes Con-
rad, Solicitor-General of the United States
under the second Cleveland Administration,
has been retained by the publishers as their
counsel.
itself. The two Smiths, William T. Fran-
cis, and poor John Stromberg, make a good
combination of mirth and music, and what
more do you want ?
The burlesque given as the second part
of the performance is as good as anything
ever done there. Miss Templeton as "Gela-
tine," Willie Collier as the girl from Butte,
New York, but New York certainly owes
a great deal to Weber and Fields. Long
may they reign!
MAURICE SHAPIRO AS A NEWS BUREAU.
If you want to know what's doing in the
music publishing business from San Fran-
cisco to New York, drop in at 45 West
Twenty-eighth street and have a chat with
Mr. Shapiro. The Review was in one day
this week and this is what he picked up.
Item 1 : William Morris, the well-known
vaudeville agent of Fourteenth street, and
the biggest, is going to move. He has taken
large offices at 43 West Twenty-eighth street,
and will move in shortly. This is going to
be a big thing for "Publishers Row," and
perhaps some of the firms that are moving
up town will regret it. This change on the
part of Mr. Morris is greatly due to the
efforts of Mr. Shapiro. It is going to be
of great convenience to the professional
world, and both Mr. Morris and the publish-
ers will benefit by it. Shapiro, Bernstein &
Co., with their accustomed enterprise, are
going to have a doorway cut between 43 and
