CHAS. K. HARRIS TOURING IN IOWA.
At Least, the Marshalltown Daily Herald Says
So, and the Loyalty of the Advance Agent Is
Thereby Well Demonstrated.
Although Chas. K. Harris has not been out
of town for three or four months and expects that
business will keep him in his office until it calls
him to 'Frisco (about the time of the Jeffries-
Johnson debate), he received a copy of the Mar-
shalltown (Iowa) Daily Herald the other day, in
which was set forth details of a visit which he
had just paid that thriving city. The paper was
dated March 9, and had a first page "story" which
opened as follows:
"Mort H. Singer, the Chicago producing man-
ager, who has given the stage many musical at-
tractions, and Chas. K. Harris, the famous popu-
lar song writer, who leaped into fame with 'After
the Ball,' visited Marshalltown for a short time
yesterday morning, being en route to Chicago
from Omaha, where they were present Monday
night at the new Brandes Theater. The opening
attraction at the theater there was 'The Goddess
of Liberty.'"
As Mr. Harris is the publisher of the music of
"The Goddess of Liberty," it would seem that the
advance agent of that company felt that he ought
not to slight him when turning out "copy," even
'way out in Iowa.
'CLAP HANDS" UNDER INJUNCTION.
A temporary injunction, restraining Reine
Davies from singing the new song, "Clap Hands,"
has been granted to Blanche Ring and Seymour
Furth by Judge Lacombe of the United States
Circuit Court. Miss Davies is now appearing in
vaudeville on the William Morris circuit. It is
recalled that earlier in the season Felix Isman
vainly endeavored to restrain Miss Ring from
singing in "The Yankee Girl" the song "Rings
on My Fingers,' which, Mr. Isman insisted, be-
longed exclusively to "The Midnight Sons." Now
members of the theatrical profession believe they
see in the latest injunction an aftermath of Mr.
Isman's attempt to enjoin Miss Ring last fall.
He is interested in the Morris vaudeville circuit,
and Miss Ring's friends hint that he induced
Miss Davies to sing "Clap Hands" in the course
of her repertoire. A coincidence is that George
W. Lederer, Miss Davies' husband, was Miss
Ring's manager when she appeared in "The Jer-
sey Lily." Verily, the business of getting new
songs before the public has wheels within wheels.
OPENS STORE IN ATLANTIC CTIY.
Shapiro's new store in Atlantic City was
opened on Monday of last week at 1633 Board-
walk. This store is to be kept open the year
round. The opening had been scheduled for
the previous Saturday, but was delayed. The old
Shapiro store, which has been operated during
the summer season in previous years, will
probably be reopened in a few weeks.

THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
MREVIEWflEARS
RETURNS FROM WESTERN TRIUMPHS.
THAT Chas. K. Harris' new offices are well
worth the rent he is now paying for both his
Oil and his new locations.
THAT Leo Feist has correctly been reported as
having given a substantial boost to a newly in-
corporated music publishing company.
THAT he modestly disclaims extending any
such favor, as was to be expected of him, but
we rest content with another authority.
THAT Will Teller has been incorrectly reported
as having also served as succor for the aforesaid
new incorporation.
THAT William says, with right forefinger point-
ing aloft, "Never again, and then some."
THAT apropos of the change of sheet music
buyers at Macy's several of our leading publish-
ers could contribute some very interesting chap-
ters to the unwritten history of music publishing.
THAT these would concern the past, however,
rather than the present or future, especially as
to favors shown.
THAT Theodore Morse has been working with
both hands lately, attending to correspondence
with one hand and talking to professionals with
the other, while waiting for Al. Cook's return
from Chicago.
THAT the establishment of a Chicago branch
of this house shows that energy and ability are
the best assets of up-to-date publishers.
THAT Chas. K. Harris says there will never
be a suggestive song bearing the imprint of his
house on its title page.
THAT Leo Feist is carefully weighing the pros
and cons of a proposition to establish a branch
of his firm in Paris.
THAT the recent arrival at the home of Felix
F. Feist is to be known in due time as Felix
Ellison Feist.
THAT Father Felix says the future greatness
to be achieved by the boy must be in some line
other than song writing or music publishing.
THAT grand opera has been suggested as a
career, sufficient power to fill the Metropolitan
Opera House having already been shown by the
young voice.
THAT the opening of Shapiro's new store in
Atlantic City, scheduled for a fortnight ago, waa
delayed owing to great inclemency of the weather.
THAT the announcement of "A Skylark" for
the New York Theater on April 4 settles the
question of a long run there by "Bright Eyes."
THAT the present theatrical season here is the
loser by the fact that the book of "Bright Eyes"
was not good enough to correspond with the high
standard set by the music of the piece.

Mme. Caro Roma, Prima Donna and Composer,
Back in New York After Absence of Several
Months—Sang Own Compositions.
Mine. Caro Roma, who is at once a prima don-
na, a writer of delightful verse and a com-
poser of exquisite music, has returned to New
York after an absence of several months, during
which period she has been giving recitals of her
own compositions to most appreciative audiences
on the Pacific Coast. The warmth of Madame
Roma's receptions everywhere while en tour, and
particularly in her native State, California, was
most unusual, and did credit to her enviable and
widespread reputation as a lyricist, composer
and vocalist, as well as to her engaging person-
ality. At every turn she was greeted with the
utmost heartiness and sincerity, exceeding the
most golden expectations of the gifted artist.
Now that she has returned to New York, Ma-
dame Roma will reopen her studio and resume
her instructions in voice culture.
At all her recitals Madame Roma sang exclu-
sively selections from her widely known com-
positions, all of which are published by M. Wit-
mark & Sons. The list of these is a long one,
and the Witmarks recently published it in the
form of an attractive catalog. This includes
such meritorious numbers as "Faded Rose,"
"The Golden Chain," "I Kiss the Little Flower
You Wore," "I'll Worship You in Dreams," "The
Jewels," "Joy and Sorrow," "Legacies," "Love's
MISS MAXWELL AT WORK ON OPERA.
Famous French Composer Chooses Her as Col-
laborator on New Wonk—Recognition by
Leo Feist of American Girl's Talent.
M. Valverdi, composer ol "La Mait-on du
Danse" and other successful operettas in Paris,
has chosen Miss Elsa Wyman Maxwell, a protege
of Leo Feist, the New York publisher, now resid-
ing in the French capital, to collaborate with
him on a new opera adapted from the Spanish.
It will soon be heard in Paris and Madrid, and
later in the United States. Valverdi is very en-
tnusiastic over the lyrics which Miss Maxwell
has written, as well as her dramatic talent and
work on the libretto, according to cable advices.
The Paris correspondent of the New York Amer-
ican says:
"Miss Maxwell is quite a musical phenomenon.
Having little technical knowledge of music she
is able to improvise harmonies on whatever in-
strument may be at hand. She naturally se-
lects the piano as the best mode for the convey-
ance of her themes. About a year ago Miss Max-
well left Iowa for New York with a letter of
introduction to several publishers. She chose to
call on Leo Feist, and asked him to hear some
of her compositions. Feist immediately entered
into a contract for the exclusive rights of all her
compositions and sent her to Europe on condi-
tion that she would never learn a note of music
or how to wrjte it. She is obliged to play into a
phonograph and have the music copied from
records."
'ALMA 1 ' A SENSATIONAL SUCCESS.
"Alma, Wo Wohnst Du?" the new musical com-
edy, which is having great success as presented
in German and of which Jerome H. Remick &
Co. have the publishing rights, will probably be
presented at Weber's Theater, this city, about the
middle of J ( uly. "Where There's a Will," the
comedy now running at that theater, is scheduled
to remain there until the time mentioned, after
which "Alma" will be produced, with Kitty Gordon
in the principal role, according to present plans.
This musical sensation was recently presented,
