recall with pleasure "When Love Is Young,"
written by Mrs. Young in "Brown of Harvard."
And who can help carrying away the essence of
the songs, which are so admirably suited to the
character of the play. "So Long, So Long," by
Sadie Clark, and "Eileen," by Percival T. Moore,
which are receiving a large share of the applause
in "The Boys of Company B." M. Witmark &
Sons, who are the publishers of these songs, an-
nounce that already there is a good demand
created for them, which shows that they have
caught the ear of the public right in line with
the play itself.

REVIEW
Paul Lincke, the eminent Berlin composer, who
has been making a short visit to this country,
sailed for home Tuesday of last week, and while
here gave Joseph W. Stern & Co. the exclusive
agency for all his publications, including "Castles
in the Air," which Julius Steger has been sing-
ing in his successful play, "The Fifth Command-
ment," for the past six months. Among other
numbers of Mr. Lincke's now in press is a dainty
waltz number entitled "Luna Waltz," taken from
his opera, "Lady Luna," that made such a suc-
cessful record on the other side.

piano and the various schools of composition are
treated of, leading up to the introduction of the
piano and the more modern schools of composi-
tion.
Another feature of the volume is the biog-
raphies of the composers, excerpts from whose
works appear. The volumes are carefully edited,
richly illustrated and printed in superb fashion.
Each volume is retailed at $2.50, in cloth, and
$1.50, in paper. This collection of French piano
music covers the ground from the beginning of
the seventeenth century down to the present day,
and abounds in admirable and characteristic ex-
amples of the various schools. It is unique in
every respect, and will be welcomed by every
music lover.
