Perhaps the most popular places of amusement
in New York these days are the Keith & Proctor
theaters, which virtually extend from 14th street
to 125th street. Week after week most interest-
ing bills are presented, at which are heard the
leaders in the vaudeville world. Some specially
interesting features are scheduled for the holiday
season.
BEN JANSSEN'S LATEST COMPOSITION.
The Rohlfing & Sons Music Co., of Milwaukee,
Wis., have just published a very charming ballad
entitled "Sally," the words and music of which
are by Ben H. Janssen, the well-known manufac-
turer of pianos at 1881-1883 Park avenue, Ne\v
York. It is some years since we have had a com-
position from the pen of Mr. Janssen, who has

may say that this song is destined to win a very
great popularity by reason of its pretty verse
and pleasing melody. The title page, which is
in four colors, is a very artistic conceit,

Chicago, III., Nov. 26, 1906.
Retail music business is picking up. The the-
atrical season is at its height, and the best of
the new things are being sung on the local

The music departments on State street are al-
ready beginning to feel the impetus of the ap-
proach of the holiday in the demand for folios,
etc.
R. D. Fuchs, manager of the Chicago office of
A. H. Goetting in the Masonic Temple, is ex-
pecting a visit in a few days from Maurice Rich-
mond, manager of the Boston office.

PROPOSITION
Argument on the motion to restrain Oscar
Hammerstein from producing Puccini's opera,
"La Boheme," at the Manhattan Opera House—
case of G. Ricordi & Co. against Hammerstein—
which was on the calendar of the United States
Circuit Court, New York, before Judge Lacombe
Friday last, went over for a week. That is to
say, the hearing, after three postponements, was
on again yesterday. The last delay was caused
by Ricordi & Co.'s counsel, Judge Dittenhoefer,
being engaged on the notorious charges lodged
against Caruso, the celebrated tenor of the Metro-
politan Opera Co., and which resulted in his con-
viction Thursday week. Tito Ricordi, of the fa-
mous Italian publishing firm, who has been in the
United States for the past six weeks, sailed
Thursday for Havre on "La Provence."
