Boston, Mass., Sept. 30, 1912.
All the music publishers of the city are busy at
this writing, and some of them have so much busi-
ness that they have little time to consider any-
thing outside of the personal appeals for goods
and their correspondence.
Mr. Thompson, of C. W. Thompson & Co., whose
attractive establishment at the corner of Tremont
and Park streets is the Mecca for many music
lovers, is especially interested just now in the
work of Madame Wilhelmina W. Calvert, who is
using with great success one of the Thompson
songs, "Sighs of Love," a waltz song by Samuel
R Gaines. Lately Madame Calvert sang this song
at several local events and in a notable tour of
the South. As a consequence, the Thompson house
has had a great demand for the song.
The White-Smith Co. is having marked suc-
cess with a song entitled "I Have a Belle," which
Madame Schumann-Heink is singing this sea-
son. This famous woman also will use ''Legends
of ' the Yosemite," composed by H. J. Stewart,
which is one of the White-Smith publications.
Other singers that the company is coming in close
touch with this season are Christine Miller, who
will sing three of the Greek songs of Charles
Wakefield Cadman, using this number at more than
forty concerts; Beatrice Van Loon, who has been
using "Far From the Sky Blue Water," with
Innes' Band, and Marie Rappold, who is to sing
Cadman's latest song, the name of which has not
yet been divulged.
The news from th Oliver Ditson Co. of spe-
cial interest is the display of the Cadman window,
of which mention was made a few weeks ago by
way of anticipation. The window will be given

Leoncavallo has boiled down his "Pagliacci" to
one act, and in this shape it is to be sung twice
daily at a London theater by a special company
from Milan. His new opera, "The Gypsies," is
also to be produced in London, and it is said that
he has been paid $20,000 in advance. There is a
German saying, "If you don't believe it, you pay
a dollar."
"Oh! Oh! Delphine," the clever musical comedy,
with book and lyrics by C. M. S. McLellan and
music by Ivan Caryll, and which met with an en-
thusiastic reception at its premiere in Philadelphia
recently, opened its New York season at the Knick-
erbocker Theater on Monday night and repeated
its out-of-town success. The critics, as usual, were
strong on comparisons and judged the new pro-
duction by the standard set by "The Pink Lady,"
by the same author and composer, but were in-
clined to pass upon it as being equal to, if not sur-
passing, its predecessor.
The music proved particularly interesting; among
the numbers prominently mentioned were "Posing
for Venus," "Everything's at Home Except Your
Wife," "Why Shouldn't You Tell Me That?" "Oh!
Oh! Delphine" and "The Maxim Girl." Chappell
& Co. are the publishers.
"TANTALIZING TOMMY" OPENS HERE.
"Tantalizing Tommy," the musical comedy with
book by Michael Morton, music by Hugo Felix,
and lyrics by Adrian Ross, and which proved one
of the hits of the season in Chicago, where it had
its first showing, opened in New York at the Cri-
terion Theater on Wednesday evening, and if the
success of the first night may be used as a basis
the future of the production is assured. The music
is published by Chappell & Co.
