E. T. Paull, the well-known publisher and
"March King," announces that he has decided
on a title for his very latest march, which will
be placed on the market September 15th, and for
which he offered a prize of $10 to any one sug-
gesting an acceptable name. "The Home Com-

suggested by Wilfred C. Bates, secretary of the

WALTER EASTMAN RETURNS.
On Monday last Walter Eastman, the American
representative of Chappell & Co., returned from
Europe after a stay of some weeks in the London
capital, Paris and Berlin. Mr. Eastman spoke
very entertainingly on conditions abroad. An
extended interview will appear in the next issue
of The Review.
day), was the "Gay Musician," that tuneful comic
opera by Julian Edwards. From the night of
its opening on May 18 at Wallack's Theater it
played to packed houses, the beautiful melodies
which Mr. Edwards furnished being largely re-
sponsible for a successful run which will resume
its course when the hot summer days are over.
There are twenty-two numbers in the piece
counting the opening chorus and finales, of
which the following are among the most tuneful:
"Hail to the Queen of Beauty," "Lovelight Beam-
ing From Your Eyes," "The Saucy Sparrow," "My
Dashing Soldier Boy," "A Cup of Tea" and "I
Want to be Your Blue Eyed Baby Boy." "Love-
light" may be well called the hit of the produc-
tion, as it is a veritable triumph of light, musical
composition.
Closely following on the heels of the "Gay
Musician" Richard Carle came to New York with
"Mary's Lamb," and at present it looks as though
this eccentric comedian would continue to play
the henpecked husband on Broadway until far
to duplicate the success of "The Girl Behind the
Counter," which lately closed a run of nearly a
year at the same theater. "The Three Twins" is
unlike the usual musical comedy, inasmuch as it.
does not depend upon any one part of the play
for its success. The book is excellent, the num-
bers are startling and numerous and are filled
with a novelty and charm that is refreshing. As
our "Man on the Street" recently said the music
is some of the best that has been heard in a light
production on Broadway in several years. Carl
Hoschna, the composer, is a finished musician
who arranges every note of his own compositions
and therefore is able to procure his own effects.
Each number in the play, including "Good Night
Sweetheart Good Night," "Boo Hoo, Tee Hee,"
"Little Miss Up-to-Date," "The Hypnotic Kiss,"
"The Yaraa Yama Man" and "Cuddle Up a Little
Closer, Lovey Mine" is meeting with unprec-
edented success. Already the newsboys are
whistling the last two songs, which is certainly
a good—or a bad—sign whichever way you want
TWO NEW JERSEY WRITERS.
Oscar J. Haase and Clifford J. Werner, of Or-
ange, N. J., have placed in the hands of a New
York publishing house two songs which look as
though they may be heard from in the near fu-
ture. They are "Arizona" and "You Are the
Only One." Mr. Haase has already composed an
instrumental number entitled "The Turkey Trot,"
which was used with some success in "The Rain-
bow Road," a musical production made by the
"Mummers," a local theatrical organization, in
Orange. Mr. Werner is the composer of the
"Centennial March Song," "Stuttering Dick," and
'Only Say that You Love Me."
