Look is approved by Caroline D. Aborn, director
of kindergartens in Boston, and is meeting with
a big sale. A new list of pipe organ music is out.
From the Oliver Ditson Co.'s press this week
is a new edition of "Fairy Fingers," a collection
of easy piano pieces by Julius Becht. This is
an ideal collection for the young person just be-
ginning to enjoy the piano.
It was a busy place at the B. F. Wood Music
Co.'s office this week. The sale of "Philosophy"
jumped up materially this week, following the
singing of that song by Zelie de Lussan at
Keith's Theatre here. Two of the most popular
of the Briggs' songs, "The Light of Heaven's
Own Day" and "Lead Me all the Way," are meet-
ing with unusual success, being especially appro-
priate for this season of the year. In the in-
strumental section, the orchestration of the
"Royal Trumpeter's March" is in great demand,
and the march itself, for piano, has had a very
large sale.
The Lenox Music Co. are organizing a music
club for subscribers, that is rapidly gaining favor
here.
In our issue of February 2, 1907, under the
heading, "Publishers on Copyright Bill," The
Review published a statement supposed to have
been made at or about that time by Charles K.
Harris, the well-known song writer and pub-
lisher, Mr. Harris avers that he never saw the
article in question until recently, when it was
brought to his notice during the copyright hear-
ings at Washington. The statement attributed
to Mr. Harris slightingly refers to Congressman
Currier and others for whom Mr. Harris enter-
tains feelings of the profoundest regard and
friendship. After careful inquiry The Review
is convinced that the article was published in
error and that Mr. Harris never made the re-
marks for which he was made responsible. We
therefore regret that they should have been pub-
lished in the columns of The Review.
