Letters of complaint are again reaching The
Review relative to the alleged questionable meth-
ods of certain "music publishing" firms who hold
out "inducements" to "song writers and poets"
through the magazines. One of these concerns
boldly proclaims itself "New York's Big Music
Firm," with departments. It probably has desk
room somewhere in Tin Pan Alley—the classic
28th street. Another tells the public "we will
write the music and present to big New York
publishers." As The Review has previously
stated, at some length, these "enterprises" have
no standing in the legitimate publishing busi-
ness whatsoever, and are absolutely in no posi-
tion to "present" music for publication on any
kind of a basis with houses of recognized repute.
Still the scheme cannot lie called outright decep-
tion. But if "writers" of "song-poems," who seem
to be the favorite "meat" of these so-called "pub-
lishers," would deal with firms of established
worth, of which a list of the leading ones ap-
pear in this department of The Review, they

While California is far distant from the At-
lantic seaboard, publishers with views and per-
spicacity in the Bast do not hesitate to have this
fruitful territory duly covered. The ambassador
from the Occident is generally received with dis-
tinguished consideration, the length and expense
of the journey considered and orders of comfort-
ing size are always forthcoming. The connec-
tions made with the splendid music houses on
the Coast are worth while, and top-notch prices
prevail.
