THE:
THAT R. Barthelemy has written a new song
for Ethel Levy called "Only De Moon an' You"
(Boosey & Co.), which looks as though it were
going to be the song hit of Sam Bernard's new
play.
• THAT owing to the success of "The Merry
Widow" and "A Waltz Dream," we are soon to
be annoyed by cheap imitations of Viennese
opera.

M. WITMARK & SONS,
West 37th Street, New York.
George W. Setchel, a music publisher of Bos-
ton, Mass., has made a voluntary assignment to
George Towne, for the benefit of his creditors.
The exact amount of liabilities and assets will
not be ascertained until accountants have fin-
ished going over his books. Among the reasons
given by Mr. Setchel is that the price cutting on
sheet music indulged in by department stores
ruined his business. A large Boston publishing
house is said to be among the heaviest creditors.
The New York Herald of Wednesday last con-
tained an extended cable devoted to Witmark &
Sons' branch store in Paris, wherein the publi-
cations have a great vogue. We shall refer
further to this next week.
Reginald De Koven and Clare Kummer, the
well known composers, signed contracts on Sat-
urday last with Jerome H. Remick & Co., by
which their compositions will be published ex-
clusively by the firm for a term of years.

St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 27, 1908.
Alfred G. Robyn, the well-known composer and
director of the Amphion Club, of this city, whose
newest play was accepted by a producer in Chi-
cago last week, has just received notice of his
election to membership in the Societe des Beaux
Arts, of Paris, Prance. Mr. Robyn's election was
due to the excellence of six original music com-
positions, which he had been requested to sub-
mit to a committee of the society. He is said
to be the only native-born American to receive
this honor. Mr. Robyn, who composed the music
of "The Yankee Consul" and "The Yankee Tour-
ist," read his new play to the producer, a stage
manager and two others in Chicago one day
last week. He said the piece had been selected,
but that he would make some radical changes.
On Monday night a musical idyll founded on the
motif of the "Vilia" song, one of the gems of
"The Merry Widow," was introduced between the
acts of Joseph Weber's burlesque of the Lehar
opera, at the Weber Music Hall. It was com-
posed by Hugo Prey, who made the orchestration
for the Weber burlesque, and is dedicated to
Anton Steindl, the musical director at Weber's.

By EDWARD GERMAN
CBAPPELL & CO.,
There are very few firms publishing popular
songs high class enough to merit the distinction
of being used by high-class operatic singers in
their concert work. M. Witmark & Sons are
one of the exceptions to the rule, as the recent
Jacoby concert tour demonstrated. This organi-
zation used three songs which are real classics,
although they are simple enough to be popular
with the masses. One of them, "Come Back," by
Reed Miller and Ernest R. Ball, was featured by
that wonderful singer, John Young, to whom, by
the way, it is dedicated. The other two, "My
Dear," and "Somebody Loves You, Dear," are
being sung by Fred Wheeler, the talented vocal-
ist who is now resting temporarily after a most
successful concert tour, preparatory to filling an-
other engagement of twenty-six weeks' duration.
This certainly points to the fact that the "pop-
ular" song need not necessarily be the trash with
which the name has in the past been associated.
