Chicago, 111., May 20, 1907.
A composition which is destined to win unusual
popularity in the trade and musical world is
At a meeting of the board of directors of the
Oliver • Ditson Co., in Boston, Friday, of last
week, Charles H. Ditson, of Charles H. Ditson &
Co., New York City, was elected president, vice
John C. Haynes, deceased. Charles F. Smith was
made treasurer. The directors consist of the
foregoing gentlemen and E. S. Cragin, the latter
being the well-known manager of the New York
branch. Charles Bobzin was promoted to be gen-
eral manager, L. D. Laselle, the former superin-
tendent, having resigned last week.
The traveling companies are gradually coming
in off the road, and from now until the middle of
August the publishers will be busy training the
professional voice how to sing the "latest and
best—the knock-outs." Of course, a few checks
will pass, otherwise the up-to-date professional is
as mute as an oyster.
Isidore Witmark, of M. Witmark & Sons, left
New York Monday for a ten day trip West, going
as far as St. Louis, Mo. Among other objects of
his visit is that of looking the ground over in the
interests of the American Music Stores. Charles
K. Harris, now in Milwaukee, is also performing
a like duty. The United Music Stores Co. are re-
ported as closing leases for locations, which will
be opened shortly and simultaneously.
"Fascinating Flora," the new musical comedy
that went on at the Casino Theatre, New York,
Monday night, has been variously criticised, for
and against. The book is universally condemned,
but Gus Kerker's music is warmly praised.
Jerome Kern is responsible for half the songs,
however, and four or five will prove popular.
Ada Lewis made a hit with a Victor talking ma-
chine with whose help she sang an operatic duet
with Caruso. T. B. Harms Co. are the fortunate
