measure up to the standard set by "Honey Man"
if present prospects are to be depended upon.
VON TILZEB, SONGS IN BURLESQUE.
THE REVIEW AEARS
This week could almost be called "Harry Von
Tilzer week," at the Columbia Theater, for by
far the greater number of the feature numbers
were by that popular composer and publications
of the Harry Von Tilzer Music Publishing Co.
Among the songs that attracted the most atten-
tion were "That Kazatsky Dance," "Oh! Mr.
Dream Man" and "The Ragtime Goblin Man."
Although the songs mentioned were only intro-
duced a short time ago they are already in a
fair way to be classed among the season's hits.

"The Carnival King," have seemingly lost none
of their popularity while Paull marches that have
been on the market for years retain a youthful
vigor that is most satisfying and which is attested
to by the order book. A new Paull will, as usual,
make its appearance in the Spring.

Another Slap at Popular Music—And It Comes
from Terre Haute.
"So called 'popular music' and compositions
with sentimental titles are the two classes of
music to be rigidly prohibited from the home,"
said Ludolph Arens, director of the Conservatory
of Music of Terre Haute, Ind., in a paper be-
fore the Musical Art Society in that city recently.
Continuing, Mr. Arens said:
"The 'popular music' is what the dime novel
is to literature. Look at its gaudy, indecent title
page. That betrays it. The other kind, such as
'The Last Sigh,' 'The Last Consolation of the Last
Prayer,' 'The Sleeping Princess,' 'The Dying
Poet,' and 'The Weeping' Orphan,' is sickening.
Everything that sleeps or dies or dreams is in-
cluded."
Who wrote the '"Raindrop" prelude, with its pro-
cession of dead monks, or "The Erl-King," with
the story of the child killed by his touch? Who
wrote those cheerful little things? We inquire to
know.

The large pipe organ in the Pilgrim Church,

little discussion among the members of the con-

for amusement purposes.

THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
A SONG THAT IS MAKING GOOD.
"Pots and Pans" Being Used by Many Singers
in Productions and Vaudeville.
The catalog of the Jerome & Schwartz Publish-
ing Co., is developing with such rapidity that it
is somewhat difficult to keep track of their latest
numbers with hit qualities to offer but there are
several songs that have already made good such
as "Rum Turn Tiddle," "That Haunting Melody,"
"The Vienna Roll," "The Brookside Inn," etc.,
and including "Pots and Pans," a clever song with
lyrics by Chas. Grapewin and music by Jean
Schwartz. "Pots and Pans" has been used suc-
cessfully by the various "Madame Sherry" com-
panies, Lillian Ashley and in the "Follies of 1911,"
as well as by other singers in productions and in
vaudeville. It is a number with a style particu-
larly its own and the fact is fully appreciated.
MAORI SONG CURE FOR LUNG DISEASE.

in the London Hospital for Incurables who is said
to be rapidly regaining her voice and health
through the efforts of specialists who have taught
her to sing a Maori bush song, "The Kukha-
burre." She was in an advanced stage of tuber-
culosis and her voice had gone almost entirely.
A possible explanation of the alleged cure wa3
offered by Mme. Betty Brooke, the Australian
singer, at present in New York. She had heard
of the song cure for tuberculosis as it is practiced
rmong the bushmen or Maoris in Australia, and
she has great faith in it herself.
"Among the Maoris the healing powers of song
are traditional," said Mme. Brooke. "In the case
of the little girl in the London Hospital for In-
curables they first got her interested in rhythmic
sounds accompanied by gentle calisthenics or
swinging movements of the arms. Then she was
gradually taught to sing the little bush song which
accompanies the swinging movement. She is un-
doubtedly on the road to recovery.
"Songs combined with calisthenics have been
known to completely cure cases of throat and lung
trouble among the Maoris, and I believe they will
have the same effect on all who try them. I be-
lieve that songs such as these will soon become
recognized as a regular treatment for throat and
lung trouble."
of children.
Among other recent publications of the Oliver
Ditson Co. are included a short Requiem Mass by
J. T. Whelan, a Requiem Mass in F minor by
Fr. X. Schmid, and "The Knight of Toggenberg,"
a ballad for women's voices, by W. W. Gilchrist.
The Ditson edition of part songs for both men's
and women's voices is steadily growing, and each
month there are many interesting numbers added
to the catalog.
