line, the first edition printed being the unpre-
cedented number of 60,000 copies. It is already-
being played with the greatest success by thou-
sands of bands and orchestras from Maine to
California.
One of Mr. Paull's chief hobbies is to have a
name entirely out of the ordinary for his march
compositions.
He usually prefers something
that is historical. Something that is representa-
tive and has a meaning. He spends as much
time thinking up a good title as he does on the
composition itself; as is shown by the following
well-known compositions of Mr. Paull, some of
which have been on the market for a consider-
able time: "The Ben Hur Chariot Race" march,
"Charge of the Light Brigade" march-galop,
"America Forever," "Dawn of the Century,"
"Storm King," "Midnight Fire Alarm," "Paul
Revere's Ride," "Jolly Blacksmiths," "A Signal
from Mars," "The Midnight Flyer," "The Hurri-
cane" march, "Silver Sleigh Bells," "Burning of
Rome," and his new march, which is probably
one of the best named of all, "The Triumphant
Banner." The universal satisfaction given by
the publications of E. T. Paull Music Co. makes
it both a pleasure and a profit to the dealer to
handle and push the sale of then* music.
That one cannot go anywhere without hearing
Gus. Edwards popular number "School Days."
That "When the Band Plays Yankee Doodle,"
"Senora" and "In Going on the Warpath," all by
Felix Feist, are being played by all the bands
and orchestras.
That Theodore Bendix has a big hit in the
new song in "The Lady from Lane's" "I'm Head
Over Heels in Love With You."
That John W. Bratton has composed a new
intermezzo, "Spangles," which he is publishing
himself.
That "Cheer Up Mary" and Vesta Victoria's
big hit, "Billy Green," published by Cooper,
Kendis & Paley, are being featured by many of
the best-known professionals.
That as a high-class ballad "All About You,"
published by the B. F. Ward Co., of Boston, Is
more than usually meritorious.
That many of the best-known artists, including
Miss Eileen Anderson, Nola and Perry, Marion
and Deane, and the Alpha Comedy Four are mak-
ing an enormous success with "Won't You Be My
Honey?" published by the F. B. Haviland Co.
That Miss Mary Elmer is featuring "Dream On
Dear Heart, Dream On," and "Monkeyland," two
of the best sellers in the F. B. Haviland catalog.
E. T. Paull's march compositions are among
the best selling instrumental publications on the
market. His new march, "The Triumphant Ban-
ner," which was placed on sale last month, bids
fair to outrival all of his other marches in the
matter of sales, the new composition undoubtedly
being his very best effort.
The E. T. Paull Music Co. are noted for the
handsome title pages which they issue in con-
nection with their publications; "The Triumph-
ant Banner" title being the handsomest and most
striking of all. Mr. Paull has prefaced his
march by a short history of the American flag;
also the circumstances under which "The Star
Spangled Banner" was written. The article is
both interesting and instructive, as a number of
facts are given that are not generally known.
The melody is particularly bright, with a
swing that carries everything with it. A spe-
cially fine bass solo appears in the trio, that is
exceedingly catchy, and will certainly be hummed
and whistled by everyone hearing it. Mr. Paull
has written the inarch so that it lays well under

THE:
MUSIC TRADE: REVIEW
MUSIC RETAILED AT ONE CENT.
MUSIC SEIZED AT CANADIAN BORDER.
The Latest Move in Music Publishers' "War."
(Special to The Review.)
The music publishers speak of business this
week as being unusually brisk. At least so far as
well-established hits are concerned sales appear
to be far above the average. In the case of the
general rank and file of the publishers, however,
the volume of business decreased to a slight ex-
tent. This is accounted for in some measure by
the fact that Rothenberg's department store has
^been advertising popular music at the amazingly
low figure of one cent per copy.
Perhaps publishers who believe a wholesome
tone can be imparted the trade by slashing prices
may see things in a different light from the aver-
age commercial man. This has been the bane of
the popular music business for a number of years,
and the daily paper announcement last Friday
that the above department store would sell the
following morning sheet music in this class—
"the biggest and latest hits by the greatest
writers"—at one cent a copy, may have gratified
the authors and originators of the scheme, but it
is absolutely detrimental and hurtful to the trade
at large. The way many department stores con-
duct their music sales has not helped the legiti-
mate and established dealer; but, of course, he
is to be ignored entirely. However, one chain of
department stores controlled by publishers pitted
against another batch, also under the sway of
other publishers, is not edifying nor is it con-
ducive to a proper conception of what any line
of business would consider good merchandising.
Publishers should protect prices and the retail
trade at all times and under all circumstances,
but such a move as above referred to is going in
the wrong direction. In short it is absurd, no
matter what excuse may be made for the fight.
The trade have a right to demand different and
more honorable tactics in the name of straight
and clean business methods, and they may say, as
between the contestants in this petty and de-
bilitating war, in the words of the immortal bard,
"a plague on both your houses."

Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 14, 1907.
Customs officers at Niagara Falls last week
seized an entire case full of sheet music con-
signed from Toronto to the States. Thrifty
Canadian publishers, for whom the American
copyright law has no terrors, make a habit of
putting the popular airs into cheap sheet form
and sending them back to this country for sale
at a figure far below what is asked by the orig-
inal publishers. Not even the payment of duty
will give the Canadian product entry into this
country and the consignment seized was de
stroyed.
REMICK LEASES NEW QUARTERS.
In order to meet the demands of his constantly
increasing business Jerome H. Remick has leased
the large building at 131 West Forty-first street,
to which he will remove from his present Twen-
ty-eighth street address at an early date. The
entire building will be occupied by the Remick
business, and alterations are now under way
to fit it especially for the purpose intended and
to make it one of the most complete publishing
houses in the city.
