American composers only, and which are to be
given during the season in New York by the
New York Center of the American Music So-
ciety, of which the New York branch was recently
formed in this city under the presidency of
David Bispham.'
The first concert will probably take place either
in December or January, and will consist of
songs by American composers. The last will
be in April, and will consist of selections by the
full New York Symphony Orchestra, under the
leadership of Walter Damrosch, and of songs by
David Bispham. The first two concerts will
probably be given in Mendelssohn Hall, and the
last in Carnegie Hall.
Thomas Tryon, the secretary of the new or-
ganization, said recently at his office, 41 Union
Square, that the purpose of the society is to
encourage the young American composer, and to
give his works the chance of a hearing.
ALAS! 'TIS TRUE.
We deeply regret to inform the kind-hearted
and patient readers of The Review that the worst
has happened, and that shortly Broadway is to

of their deed leaked out recently, admitted that
they had not only put the "bulls" and "bears"
into sextettes and choruses, but had also found

REVIEW
Isidor Sachs, the distinguished "Irish" composer
of the combination, has been a floor trader on the
Consolidated Exchange for some years. The li-
brettist is John G. Wilson, one time editor of
The Wall Street Daily News, who has been for
years a financial writer. He is the author of "A
Monarch of Millions," which ran serially in an
evening paper in 1900, on which the opera is
founded.
A. Mr. L. F. Bloom is said to be the "angelic"
sponsor, and here endeth his first lesson, which
probably will be a somewhat expensive one. No
one to our knowledge has contracted to publish
the music.
O'MARA APPOINTED JUDGE.
Joseph O'Mara, who is playing in "Peggy Ma-
chree," the music of which is published by the
John Church Co., at the Walnut Street Theatre,
in Philadelphia, has been appointed principal
adjudicator at the great Peis Ceoil, or Musical
Festival, which is scheduled to be held in Dublin
the latter part of next May. Mr. O'Mara is one
of the best authorities on Irish music now living.
The Feis Ceoil is organized for the purpose of
promoting the development of Irish musical art.

Now, the Italian dialect of the said "Man on the

of the average "German" comedian, so in express-

the "joining in" suggestion, he willingly gives
publicity to the fact that "My Brudda Sylvest"
is "scoring greatest knockout in years. See news-
papers" (this last being written on another post
card). What with "knocking them off their
seats" and "scoring knockouts," we imagine that
the song is somewhat strenuous. For all of
which may the Lord make us truly thankful!

almost a national air, and no doubt it will be
largely due to her that a new song, recently pub-
lished by Leo Feist, called "L—O—V—E Spells
Trouble to Me," will reach that much-to-be-desired
goal in the retailing world known as a "hit."
Leo Feist recently confided to the writer that
he would rather have Josephine Sabel sing one of
his songs than any other artist in America. When
asked why, he replied: "Because she is far and
away the greatest artist of her kind in the
country," all of which goes to show that
"L—O—V—E Spells Trouble to Me" is in good
hands.

Joe Weber and his company made their first
New York appearance of the season on Monday
night at the West End Theatre. Mr. Weber's new
offering this season is a burlesque on "The
Devil," by George V. Hobart. The musical num-
bers are published by M. Witmark & Sons and
Maurice Shapiro.
In an article entitled "Ted Snyder Co. Increase
Space" which appeared in this section of the
Review last week, it was stated that the Ted
Snyder Co. had secured the American catalog
of the Monte Carlo Music Publishing Co. of
London, Eng. This is an error, as the catalog
in question is controlled by T. B. Harms &
Francis Day & Hunter of 1431 Broadway, New
York.

We have the greatest ballad since "When the Evening
Breeze is Sighing 'Home, Sweet Home' " and by the
same author. It is entitled
and which is playing to crowded houses. One
of the features of Miss White's performances,
which improves it immensely, is her singing of
"I Wish I Had a Girl" (Thompson Music Co.).
The dainty prima donna, clad as a boy, makes
a particularly fetching appearance, as is shown
by the accompanying photograph. She has a
soprano voice of delightful quality and the re-
quisite chic for interpreting the role which she
plays in "The Burgomaster."
