THE 7VU/SIC TRHDE
In the World of Music Publishing
THE TREND IN THE TRADE.
Every week it is now as customary to report
some publisher moving to larger quarters,
as it is to hear of catalogues being sold and
two or three publishers closing up.
From these facts we can come to but one
conclusion—that it is only a question of time
when the music publishing trade will be in
the hands of half a dozen firms, and the
elimination of the small publisher.
Howley, Haviland & Dresser are looking
for larger quarters. They intend to have
their own building further up town; the
exact location has not yet been decided. They
have been cramped for room a long time
past and i t was only a question of time be-
fore this move became necessary.
Another firm, and the youngest successful
one in the business, who are making arrange-
ments to have their own building is the
Harry Von Tilzer Music Co. Mr. Von Tilzer
has been negotiating all week for the purchase
of the building at 37 West Twenty-eighth
street. Up to going to press the deal had
not gone through. The growth of this firm,
which started a little over a year ago, has
been phenomenal and they have only just
begun.
"Hurrah for Baffin's Bay." Fred Hamlin is
responsible for the words, and they are as
funny as one can wish.
On Monday night Blanche Ring scored
the hit of her life with "The Same Old
Crowd." This is by Fred Farrell and Mr.
Morse. The papers were unanimous in their
praise and the song took more encores than
any other. All these songs are published by
Howley, Haviland & Dresser.
FOUR GREAT SUCCESSES.
According to the music publishers' books,
four of the biggest song hits of to-day in
opera or musical comedy are "The Tale of
the Bumble Bee" in "King Dodo," "Song
of the Sea Shells" in "The Prince of Pil-
sen," "Since 1 First Met You" in "The Sul-
tan of Sulu," and "Lil, I Like You" in "Peg-
gy from Paris." It is a notable coincidence
JOHN STROMBERG'S LAST SONG.
One of the most beautiful songs that have that all of these are in productions owned
been published in the past twelve months is and directed by Henry W. Savage, of Cas-
"Come Down, My Evening Star." It was tle Square Opera fame. Pixley and Luders,
the last song John Stromberg wrote before who wrote "King Dodo" and "Prince of Pil-
sen," received $14,000 last year from "The
Bumble Bee" song alone, without counting
their royalties from the operas. What rev-
enue George Ade derives from the song hits
in "The Sultan of Sulu" and "Peggy from
Paris" has not been given out, but a business
associate of Mr. Ade is quoted as saying the
author of "Fables in Slang" has an income of
$50,000 a year. If the authors under con-
tract with Henry W . Savage are coining
money at such a rate, one wonders what must
be the profits of the impresario on his many
successful enterprises.

"THE COUNTRY GIRL"
NEW NUMBER T R O M $.. B. & CO.
We find two new songs by Jerome and
Schwartz in the February batch of music
from Shapiro, Bernstein & Co. They are
"When Brother Percy Sings." This song
was especially written for Dan Daly in "The
New Clown" and is essentially a J. & S. com-
position. The other number is entitled
"Julie." It is being featured by Herbert
Cawthorne in "Mr. Bluebeard."
A new coon song by the writers of "Joseph-
ine, My Jo," or in other words, McPherson
and Brymn, is entitled "I Take Things Easy."
Max Hoffman has a new number out, "Hon-
ey, Won't You Stop Teasing Me." An
amusing comic song is "Mary Had a Little
Lamb," (a new version of an old tale). Will
D. Cobbs and Leo Edwards are the writers.
This firm publish two instrumental num-
bers this month, "The Pony Ballet Dance,"
by Jean Schwartz, featured in "Mr. Blue-
beard," and "The Maid-at-Arms" two-step
by Silvio Hein. This is one of the best two-
steps published in a long time. Mr. Hein
is to be congratulated. He is a composer of
much ability.
Joseph Parry, the well-known Professor of
Music at the University College, London,
England, died on Tuesday.
