THE
MREVIEWflEARS
THAT seeing so many of their most successful
comic operas gobbled up by American producers
and publishers, some European producers have
secured the foreign rights to successful American
musical comedies.
THAT there are some of the latter that could be
spared very conveniently, provided they were never
again heard in this country.
THAT many of the leading lights in the publish-
ing trade are too busy getting ready for the com-
ing season to take the time for a vacation during
the summer.
THAT if their efforts result in success they may
take a long vacation during the winter with pay,
otherwise a less pleasant rest without pay will be
the result.
THAT the Boston publishers forgot competition
and had a glorious time on their outing at Bass
Point, Nahant, last week.
THAT the success of "All Aboard for Blanket
Ray" (Harry Von Tilzer), indicates what may be
accomplished through steady, consistent pushing
without throwing money away.
Have You Thought Of It?
If anybody told you that pianos were
not used in the Summer, you would
contradict them in a minute!
Every-
body knows they are, and so long as we
agree that they are used, is it not also
safe to say that sheet music sells when
pianos are used?
" CENTURY EDITION " sells during
the Summer.

REVIEW
THAT it looks like one of the lasting kind of
ballads.
THAT the western business of the Harry Von
Tilzer Co. is showing steady and satisfying gains
with excellent prospects for the future.
THAT many professionals are featuring the new
llaviland song, "There's a Dixie Girl Longing for
a Yankee Doodle Boy," with much success.
THAT "Honey Love," "I'm Crazy 'Bout the Tur-
key Trot," and "I've Got Your Number," by the
same house, are still gaining ground.
THAT song writers of Chicago are said to be
keeping their manuscripts locked in safe deposit
vaults since the recent report that a certain profes-
sional manager had sold and collected advance
royalty on a song not his own.
THAT Leo Feist is again back at his desk and
with a firm grip on the reins of business. And he's
some driver.
The new series of Harry Von Tilzer songs for
the season of 1911-12 have made a strong impres-
sion on the professionals who have heard them,
and there are several numbers at least that hold
promise of being genuine Von Tilzer hits when
they are finally offered to the trade and the public.

SUMMER
DAYS "
Chas. K. Harris Has Publishing Rights of
Many Shows to Be Seen by the Public Next
Season—Dealers Should Watch the Routings
The staff of Chas. K. Harris, under the capable
direction of Meyer Cohen, the general manager,
and who is at the helm during Mr. Harris' absence
on his European trip, are at present busily engaged
in looking after the details connected with the pub-
lication and distribution of the music of the many
productions for which Mr. Harris has the rights.
Among the shows that will be seen by the public
this fall, and the music of which is published by
Harris, are Lew Fields' "The Never Homes,"
"Louisiana Loii," "Mutt and Jeff." "Sweetest Girl
in Paris," "The Girl I Love," and the "Honeymoon
Trail." One of the musical features of "The Girl
I Love" is the song "Throw a Kiss to Me," by the
writers of "Gee! I Wish I Had a Girl." Dealers
who have music in hand of shows about to open
their second season are advised to keep a line on
the routings and make hay while the sun shines.
ENJOY EXCELLENT BUSINESS.
Strauss' comic opera, "Der Rosenkavalier," to
he produced here early in the fall, will not be
given in English, as originally intended, but in
German. The work will be conducted by Fritz
Cortolesis, formerly of the Royal Opera in Munich.
the one big seasonable hit,
that we are neglecting our
ballad hit
"IN ALL MY DREAMS I
DREAM OF YOU"
Not a day passes but that
we add some "real" artist as
an additional "boost" to the
song.
It is generally conceded
and you can count on it as
being the ballad hit of 1911.

The Harry Von Tilzer Music Publishing Co. re-
port that their business during June and July, two
of the dullest months of the year as a rule, has
been unique in that it has surpassed the record of
any corresponding months in the history of the
house. The song hits controlled by this house, in-
cluding "All Alone," "All Aboard for Blanket
Bay," "Under the Yum Yum Tree," etc., have
held on right through the summer in a remarka-
ble manner, and give every indication of being
order producers for some time to come.
