MREVIEWflEARS
THAT well might the talking machine interests
hold up their hands and in agonized tones call
upon Allah to save them from their friends.
THAT the proverb, "Show me your company
and I'll tell you what you are," is significant.
THAT the meeting of the Boston Music Pub-
lishing Association on Friday last was a complete
success.
THAT Edward J. Atkinson, well known to the
music publishing fraternity, is now connected
with the Restel Building Construction Co.
THAT Gulio Gatti-Cazazza, director of the Met-
ropolitan Opera House, is again in our midst,
this time, we hope, with moderated opinions as
to the merits of Italian opera.
THAT the Oliver Ditson "Half-Dollar Music
Series" are really wonderful values.
THAT the eternal question, "Do we need a new
national anthem?" is becoming somewhat tedi-
ous.
THAT, "DO we need a quick change in the

THAT it is usually the cur dog who seeks
trouble—and gets it.
THAT we have it on the best authority that
Melville Ellis is not going into the dressmaking
business as a permanent occupation. Which is
a pity.
THAT Isidor Witmark is about the happiest
man in town—and small wonder.
THAT there is no truth in the report that
Harry Lauder, the well-known Scotch comedian,
eats a half-dozen oysters in front of a looking-
glass to make them look a dozen.
THAT, talking of Harry Lauder, his songs
should prove a veritable gold mine to his pub-
lishers (T. B. Harms & Francis Day Co.).
THAT among the new issues published by
Boorey & Co. this month are some beautiful
numbers.
THAT the Dance du Paraguay, by Valverde
(Boosey & Co.), is already the rage of Europe
and promises to be the rage of America.
Hinds, Noble & Eldridge Bring Out Three New
Volumes That Should Appeal to Dealers and
Musicians—What They Consist of.
We have received for review from Hinds, Noble
& EUdridge, the well-known publishers, their
three latest folios, "The Most Popular Violin in
Pieces," "The Most Popular Operas," and "The
Most Popular Piano Dance Folio."
The collection of violin pieces consists of twenty-
nine numbers, regarded by teachers and students
as being the best for general use. It is an ad-
mirable solo collection for any violinist and has
been made especially attractive by the fact that
the parts are written entirely in the first position.
The numbers are carefully bowed and fingered.
