Leoni, another Chappell composer, has written a
new opera, "Tzigane," which is produced in

Mr. Browne has been in the music business
for the past twelve years. At one time he was
general manager of the Harry Von Tilzer Music
Publishing Co. With the Laemmle house he will
act as assistant to William H. Penn, the New
York manager. He is well known as a lyric
writer, his most recent work being as author
of the words of five songs which Julian Eltinge
has taken for his tour with Harry Lauder, and
of which the music was written by Mr. Penn.
Among the more prominent of Mr. Browne's
other songs, published by various houses, were
"A Little Boy in Blue," "Coon, Coon, Coon,"
"Down on the Farm," "It's the Man Behind the
Gun," and "I Don't Care If You Never Come
Back." He also wrote both words and music,
of "I Need the Money," "The Lass from the
County Mayo," "The Meaning of U. S. A.," "The
Man in the Overalls," and "My Little Eskimo."

TfiEREVIEWflEARS
THAT there has been more than one music
catalog offered for sale or agency in this town
lately.
THAT business with the local publishers showed
a great improvement last month, as compared
with the somewhat dismal December trade.
THAT the January doings serve to accentuate
the fact that the music publishing business itself,
when conditions are met, is one of the best.
THAT it has been again shown to be true that
men engaged in some other calling are acting
unwisely if they try music publishing.
THAT now is a good time for the regular dealers
and their publishers to "get together" with a
view to a mutual understanding as to how the
former may best meet competition.
THAT the dealers will get more encouragement
than they expect, if they show a disposition to
come half way with an energetic spirit.
THAT Leo. Feist has secured the publishing
rights to Henry B. Harris' initial musical pro-
duction, "A Skylark," which is scheduled for
Wallack's Theater on Easter Monday.
THAT several other publishers were after these
rights, but the one mentioned "beat 'em to it."
THAT the offices of E. T. Paull contain a New
York Stock Exchange ticker, the only one
among the local, publishers' offices.
THAT the two weeks spent in Boston by "Dick
Whittington" (Witmark) led to several changes
in both company and production, but that "Dick"
will be feeling better ere he reaches Broadway.
THAT George Lashwood's leading feature, "In
the Twi-twi-light" (T. B. Harms & Francis, Day
& Hunter) is being used by a few other singers
who have obtained the necessary permission.
THAT Herbert Clifton, the English double-
voiced singer, now in this country, has among
his numbers a song conspicuously like "Put on
Your Old Grey Bonnet," although it is not so
£ood as that Remick production.
THAT Chas. K. Harris says he never before
received so many early inquiries for a ballad as
have come in regarding "In the City Where No-
body Cares."
THAT the writers of the Trebuhs catalog will
be retained, but their work will, of course, be
copyrighted and published by Harris.
THAT David Rose, formerly the Trebuhs pro-
fessional manager, has joined the professional
staff of the Ted. Snyder Co.
THAT Edward Laska returned to this city
Wednesday after a stay of several days at Lake-
wood, N. J., where he went with a cold, from
which he has recovered.
