the only interpolated number from the pen of Mr.
Lean. "He's a Fan, Fan, Fan," and "Mrs. Casey,"
which made a tremendous hit last season are the
others. The music of the last named was written
by Florence Holbrook, prima donna and co-star
with Mr. Lean.

If tradition maintains the summer dullness and
inactivity, which this year seems to have been
more marked than usual, should end next week.
Jobbers generally begin placing orders for sheet
music, folios, etc., around the first of August.
The professional offices begin to work on new
popular numbers, and the large acts in musical
comedies commence their rehearsals.
The Harold Rossiter Music Co., have bought
the catalog of the Will Harris Music Co., whose
offices have been in the Randolph building. Mr.
Harris retires from the music publishing business

to go into vaudeville, but will continue to do a
good deal of lyric writing, according to reports.
Among the numbers acquired by the Harold
Rossiter Co. are "Trombone Slide," " Moonlight
Makes Me Dream of You," and "Let's be Kids
Again."'
Tell Taylor has scored the greatest success of
his career as a music publisher in his own "Down
by the Old Mill Stream." It has been thoroughly
exploited, and the sales are now reaching most
gratifying figures. Taylor has also brought out
a new song, "When We Were Sweethearts," some-
thing on the same order as the "Mill Stream" song,
and it is starting off even better than did the for-
mer. "Buckwheat Cakes," a characteristic coon
song, also promises to be a winner in its class.
The Victor Kremer Co. are now nicely settled in
their new quarters at 732 Sherman street. They
have much more space for their offices and stock
rooms than in the old location, and have the
advantage of light on all sides. General Manager
Tilman Calm is making preparations for a pros-
perous fall trade, and will be ready to announce
several new songs within a fortnight. At the
professional offices at 71 Randolph street, Otto
Krey is working steadily away on the company's
various hits. Frank Frabbit, of the professional
department, has just returned from New York,
where he landed "Hunny Sal," and "Sing Me
an Irish Come-All-Ye," with some big acts.
Manager C. A. Grimm, of the Chicago office of
M. Witmark & Son, is on a trip among the west-
ern Michigan summer resorts, accompanied by
Arthur D. Samuels, of the professional staff.
Two Remnick numbers, which will be heard in
"The Follies of 1912," which will soon come to
Chicago, are "Texas Tommy Swing," and "Come
Along Ma Cherie." Jennie Lucas, who comes
to the Majestic next week, will feature "Oceana
Roll."
The annual picnic of Chicago show people will
be held at Cedar Lake, Ind., next Tuesday.
Among the features will be a baseball game be-
tween teams from the Little Miss Fix-It Co. and
the music publishers. There will also be a popular
song contest and, needless to say, all the vocal
offices will be represented by the best songs and
the best singers they can obtain.

"In My Dreams That the Moon Brings of You,"
is the name of a ballad published by Thompson

lic two new names, those of Joseph Lyons, the
writer of the lyric, and Chas. M. McKelvey, com-
poser of the music. Judging from their first
effort, both young men possess much talent.

ABANDONS STRAUSS OPERA.
F. C. Whitney Finds Production Too Expen-
sive and Hazardous and Forfeits First In-
stalment on Advance Royalties—Opera Com-
panies Refuse to Meet Strauss' Terms.
J.\ C Whitney has abandoned his intended pro-
duction of Strauss' "The Rose Cavalier," and
there seems to be no other manager in America
who cares to take up the responsibility of putting
on the opera.
In his announcement Mr. Whitney said that,
since his return from London, he had canvassed
the field here and came to the conclusion that it
would be impossible to do a twenty weeks' season
with the Strauss opera in German, according to
his arrangement, lie said that he had already in-
vested more than $50,000 in advance royalties and
production expenses, and that he finds it would
take $75,001) more to properly produce "The Rose
Cavalier." As there would be no possibility of
any adequate financial return to him for such a
large outlay he prefers to take his first loss and
allow the opera to revert to its original owners.
Jt is understood that Whitney's option on "The
Rose Cavalier" expired Monday, July .'51.
To get the rights to the piece he agreed to pay
$0'.'),000 in advance royalties, half at once and the
other half, $82,500, by July ,U Abandoning the
production will cause him to lose his first pay-
ment, $32,500, which will revert to Dr. Richard
Strauss and to the publisher of the opera, Adolph
Furstner, of Berlin. Including the advance roy-
alties, the cost of producing the opera would have
been close to $125,000. To present the piece prop-
erly would require a large stage, an orchestra of
nearly 100 pieces, and a very large company.
If five of the biggest
quartettes in America are
singing one song, it would
be worth noting, wouldn't
it?
Here they are:

Besides these, hundreds
of other important acts are

It isn't surprising,
therefore, that the song is
selling big, is it?
