AN IE-ELECTION DULLNESS.
The week pending election has proven a
slow one for many publishers. Sales have
fallen off appreciably, and while this may
be accounted for locally, it seems out-of-
town business has quieted down in like
proportions. Next week the usual tide of
trade is expected to set in again, and main-
tain a satisfactory pace until the close of
the year.
JACOBS OF BOSTON.
His Latest Publications Make a Great Hit—The
Grand Orchestra Folio.
[Special to The Review.]
dertakings in the line of musical publica-
tions will shortly be placed on the market.
This is "Jacobs' Grand Orchestra Folio,"
consisting of twenty-three different books,
one for each instrument of a regular or-
chestra, such as the first and second violin,
viola, etc., up to the oboe and bassoon.
The instrumentation also includes all the
instruments used in mandolin orchestras,
even including books of banjo and guitar
solos. Thus the selections in Jacobs'
"Grand Orchestra Folio" can be played in
all combinations of the twenty-three instru-
ments for which they are intended. For
instance, violinists, mandolinists, clarion-
ettists and pianists will find fourteen ex-
cellent pieces for their combination. These
fourteen different popular and standard
numbers by famous writers will include
"Any Rags," Lampe's "For the Flag,"
military march and other desirable compo-
sitions.
A remarkable feature of the Jacobs' col-
lection is that the entire fourteen selections
cost only 25 cents per instrument.
make its introductory bow to a metropolitan
audience at the composer's own theatre, the
cosy Lyric. The songs meeting popular favor
in this production are: "Garden of Dreams,"
"To Call Thee Mine" and "Rose and the
Breeze." Rumor has it that Thos. Q. Sea-
brooke is to assume the title role of this very
successful opera when it reaches New York.
He is now familiarizing himself with the
score. Jos. W. Stern & Co. publishes the
music of all the foregoing productions, and
the sale of sheet music is mounting up in a
most satisfying manner to all concerned.
