THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
HERBERT'S LATEST TRIUMPH.
The fame of that musical comedy success bear-
ing the unique title of "Miss Dolly Dollars," in
which Lulu Glaser is now reigning brilliantly at
the Knickerbocker Theatre, New York, has al-
ready gone abroad throughout the musical and
theatrical world. All those who dwell in that
realm of enchantment are wide awake to the
fact that, in this his latest work to have a pro-
duction, Victor Herbert has achieved yet another
triumph as a composer. "Miss Dolly Dollars"
fairly scintillates with sparkling musical gems,
all of which seem destined to enjoy more or less
popularity. The vocal numbers include "The
self—and, by the way, there is only one march
king—but when he does violate his rule, it is
said to be always in favor of Wm. H. Penn, who
is a particular friend of Mr. Sousa. The strength
of this friendship is shown by the fact that the
famous bandmaster is making a special feature
ci ! Mr. Penn's "Matador" march.
"The Marriage of Kitty," in which Marie Tem-
pest so successfully scored last season, will fea-
ture Alice Johnson as its star this year, and the
lady will use during the action of the piece three
songs published by Sol. Bloom, namely, "Just a
Real, Real Man," "Come Back," and "All for
You," the first of which was written by Wm. H.
Penn, and the others by Raymond A. Browne.
Primrose's Minstrels are breaking house ca-
pacity records in many of the theatres in which
they play, and they are making a special feature
of Raymond A. Browne's song, "I Wants a Man
to Love Me All the Time" and Wm. H. Penn's
"Good-Bye, Dixie Dear," and the striking ballad,
"There's a Clock Upon the Mantel Striking One,
Two, Three."

BUSINESS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE.
So Reports All the Leading Publishers—A Fly
in the Ointment.
With the publishers business is of such a na-
ture that even the hard to please are seemingly
happy. It is believed that the trade is in for
the largest season they ever enjoyed, and houses
of standing and reputation are making prepara-
tions accordingly. So far the productions have
all proven successes, and the sale of music has
been stimulated greatly, not only with the special
numbers in question, but along the entire line.
Even the "dead stuff" is coming to life, and is
worked off on the unsuspecting customer as
"nuggets of gold." At least so the publisher,
who is far from being a "mark," avers. This in
a measure represents the status of the business
at the present writing; or, as they say, "the time
has come finally when everything goes."
To be sure there is the inevitable fly in the
ointment, and, as might be expected, it is a
question of virtue—business not moral—save the
mark! It appears there is a Northern jobber who
is raising Cain, and it is charged that, with few
exceptions, New York publishers have been sell-
ing him at a price which should wake the dead.
This procedure is disturbing the sleep of the
elect who are known for their department store
connections, and the "holler" is good and strong.
Naturally, the publisher who is without sin is
casting his eyes heavenward and declaring such
practices should be condemned. Why not? Our
mercurial friends, pretty generally, swim with
the tide, and what they do not denounce at times
in a business sense invites disinterested investi-
gation.
Chatting of the outlook, a gentleman of irre-
proachable manners—a veritable Turveydrop, in
fact—and with an interesting vocabulary, re-
marked thus to The Review: "My boy, business
is simply great. We are not personally acquaint-
ed with the other fellows, but we are doing the
trade of our lives. If it were better it would
necessitate the leasing of another floor. Not
that we stand on expense—not for a minute, even
if the whole block were required; and on the
level, that day is approaching. As an instance,
we pay our manager a bank president's salary,
and so it goes. Hits? A bushel of them, and
more to come. Prospects are like the dawn
on the misty mountain top."
A jobber of note also observed that business
had increased 30 per cent, over the preceding
month, collections were fairly good, and a bunch
of good sellers were on an even keel, but failed
to mention any titles, much to the chagrin and
embarrassment of the newspaper rubber.
