REVIEW
Talk of pirated songs has agitated publishing
circles, and reports have it that "Teasing" is be-
ing put on the market by a party very much in
evidence in the "Street," and who at first is said
to have "thrown a scare" by spreading false re-
ports. The same person is said to have been en-
gaged in more than one shady transaction in
years past.
who have secured their services exclusively for
a term of years.
Tascott, the original coon shouter, featured
"Shame On You," and "Hallelujah Sister" at
Pastor's Theatre, New York City, recently, and
took several encores on each song. He declares
the latter song to be one of the cleverest and most
popular he has ever sung.
A special feature of the musical programme of
the forty-seventh anniversary of Atlantic Gar-
den, New York, May 3, will be the march, "Col-
lege Life," by Prantzen, which will be played by
Professor Eschert and his famous band of one
hundred musicians. Mr. Eschert is making elab-
orate plans for this affair, and the profession will
turn out in full force to do honor to his efforts.
Shapiro, Von Tilzer & Roehr Music Co. is
the combination in London, Eng., to exploit
American songs and instrumentals of the popular
order, and for which there appears to be an in-
satiable demand now. In view of the present
trouble with pirated publications in the English
capital, it is said the new firm will meet the
enemy on their own ground with three-cent
music.
One of the biggest instrumental hits of the sea-
son has turned out to be "Love and Kisses," a
caprice, by Chas. K. Harris. It is heard every-
where. And mention of the "House of Ballads"
is a reminder that Meyer Cohen (originator of
illustrated songs), the manager of the Harris es-
tablishment, sang most acceptably and feelingly
the following, at the annual testimonial given
Harry S. Sanderson, of Tony Pastor's Theatre,
New York, Sunday: "Shenandoah," "Why Don't
They Play With Me," "I'm Trying So Hard to
Forget You/' "Farewell, Sweetheart May." Wed-
nesday evening Mr. Cohen repeated these selec-
tions and other Harris songs at a concert, given in
Wanamaker's store as a benefit.
