pie cannot supply enough of the work of our best
singers. Had any one prophesied this ten years
ago he would have been ridiculed.
"So like these business men, the American mana-
gers have awakened to a sense of the change. And
because they realized what it meant, they have
made possible light operas with a theme and a gen-
erally conceived style. The time has arrived when
our best composers, who have been held back by
their natural distaste for the prevalent light musical
mode, may and should come forward. It is just
the working out of the natural sequence. It is
first the public, then the managers, then the com-
posers who work the change.
"There are many other influences which will
quicken this transition from mere vulgar forms
of light music. If our poetry improves, then our
music will improve. For the most genuine inspira-
tion a composer can receive is from poetry, just as
a poet oftenest gets his impressions and inspira-
tions from music. The two are co-ordinate. They
must be. Give me beautiful words, with a beauti-
ful thought, and I feel like setting it to music.
But give me a poor set of lyrics and I am in
despair. And naturally the music becomes mechan-
ical at the best.
"If some of our poets would turn from the
heavy Elizabethan forms of drama, from tragedies

particularly, to light, fantastic themes, full of real
lyric poetry, and the charm of quaint, whimsical
humor, we would all rise apace. As a matter of
fact, it is much easier to write a good heavy theme
than a good light one, whether it be music or
poetry. Given a pathetic situation and a little
shiver music, any one can produce tears."

also is represented in the present output by two
other pieces, a collection of "Five-Note Fancies,"
as it is called, and "Aeolienne" for piano. There
is a group ot five characteristic dances for piano
by Robert Braun Eilenberg, and the set includes
dances of the Clowns, the Peasants, the Flower
Girls, the Hunters, the Arabs, and they are excep-
tionally melodious pieces. "Marjorie, Ma Cherie"
is the name of a taking song, words by Arthur
Stanley '\n«\ music by Shiel Dawson.
The Oliver Ditson Co. have in press some
splendid pieces which are sure to find favor with
music lovers. In addition to the publications just
referred to in The Review recently there are
"Twenty Nursery Rhymes," set to tunes by Ed-
mond Rickett; 'Songs and Games for Little Ones,"
devised lor the use of kindergarten school and
home by Gertrude Walker and Harriet S. Jenks,
which will be issued in time for Christmas; "The
Interpretation of Piano Music," by Mary Venable;
"French Diction for Singers and Speakers," by
William Harkness Arnold, and "Sound and Tts
Relation to Music," by Clarence G. Hamilton, A.M.
These will be given the public after the holidays.
REVIEW
"The Knight of Togger.berg," a ballad for women's
voices by W. W. Gilchrist, is one of the newer
publications that already has found favor. There
are songs by Frank E. Tours, two of which,
"From the Valley" and "Your Eyes," have their
words written by Elsie Janis, the musical comedy
star, who happens to bo playing an engagement in
Boston just at this time. "Dost Thou Regret?" by
J. Carlton, and "Home with the Angels," by Gladys
.Melrose and Clifton Bingham, are proving good
sellers.
Joseph M. Dsiy has a lively season ahead, and
the Christmas demand for his novelties, many of
which are issued at this time, are keeping the
office, the entire establishment in fact, actively
engaged.
Another house that is very busy is Charles W.
Thompson & Co., and their music, always so artis-
tically gotten up, is finding favor everywhere. *

song in the production, and Bessie Wynn in vau-
deville.
The above list of accomplishments gives rea*-
son to believe that the new Jerome'& Schwartz
Publishing Co. are simply getting into the stride
and will bear watching in the future. Ted S. Bar-
ron, well-known in the publishing trade of the
East and West, is the general manager of the con-
cern.
"PEGGY" HAS NEW YORK PREMIERE.
Leslie Stuart's newest operetta "Peggy" had its
first performance in New York at the Casino The-
ater on Thursday night and was well received. A
review of the production will appear in the Music
Section next week. The music of "Peggy" is pub-
lished by Chappell & Co.
A MUSICAL TRAGEDY.

— Philadelphia Ledger.
Although only having joined the ranks of the
music publishers a very few weeks ago. the new
Jerome & Schwartz Publishing Co. have put over
a half dozen numbers that have met with practi-
cally instant success. One of the first songs pub-
lished by the house was "That Haunting Melody,"
by George M. Cohan, which has been carried to
popularity by intrinsic merit and the efforts of
such artists as Al. Jolson, Lillian Russell an.l
K. T. Paull, the well-known and successful pub-
Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth. This number

throughout the country, including the orchestra in lication, "The Dashing Cavalier," is measuring up
to the Paull standard of popularity in a manner
ihat is highly satisfactory.
