REVIEW
THAT in a news story in the New York World
this week "Everybody's Doin' It" was classed as a
ballad. Charles K. Harris please take notice.
THAT Thomas J. Quigley, manager of the Chi-
cago office of M. Witmark & Sons, was recently
married to Elnora Fowler, and is now busy re-
ceiving the congratulations of his friends.
THAT there should be some law enacted to pre-
vent singers from murdering the English language.
THAT pronouncing world as "woild" or pearl as
"foil" is not absolutely necessary to bring out the
full effect of the music.
THAT by the new year there will be several very
interesting additions made to the catalog of ''Most
Popular Songs and Music Books," published by
Hinds, Noble & Eldridge.
THAT J. T. Mearns, on the road for "The Most
Popular" music folios, is cleaning up things in the
Middle West in the line of orders.
THAT meanwhile interesting developments are
expected in the price maintenance crusade carried
on by that house.
THAT it is very pleasing to note that at a recent
sale in New York production numbers were listed
at from 20 to 27 cents, mostly at the higher price.
THAT it was also painful to see the popular hits
of the day offered at five and seven cents.
THAT E. T. Paull's new march, "Roaring Vol-
cano," has proven one of the strongest numbers of
his catalog.
THAT the new Remick number, "Oh, You Silv'ry
Bells," by Jean C. Havez and George Botsford, bids
fair to develop into one of the b : g hits of the
season.
THAT Abe Holzmann, manager of the band and
orchestra department of J. H. Remick & Co., was
recently appointed bandmasrter of the Mecca Shrfne
Band.
THAT it is said he is busily engaged in composing
a new march for the band that is to be descriptive
of turkey trotting on the hot sands.
THAT not anticipaiting any great rush of busi-
ness before and during the holidays, most of the
publishers are preparing to start a lively business
campaign beginning with the first of the year.
GOES BACK TO MUSIC DRAMA.
Eugen d'Albert, After Several Excursions Into
Realms of Comic Opera, Returns to Work of
More Sober Character.
Eugen d'Albert, after several incursions into the
realm of comic opera, which were not attended
with happy results, has gone back to that field
of music-drama in which he has thus far most
forcibly appealed to the public taste, and has
written a companion work to "Tiefland," which,
under the title, "Liebesketten" (Love's Fetters),
was produced recently at the Vienna Volksoper
(People's Opera). The subject, like that of
'"Tiefland," is taken from one of those lurid plays
fashioned for the Spanish artist Guerero, the
scene of action being laid in Brittany. It tells a
tale of love and jealousy, with a nautical Don
Juan as a hero, who is not off with the old love
before he is on with the new. A blow from an
axe, intended for him, fells the heroine, who
•breathes her last in her lover's arms, in approved
operatic fashion. Some quaint Breton folk-songs
lend local color, while the music of d'Albert's in-
vention is so much in the style of his older work,
which still holds its popularity on the German
stage, that the present venture is likely to meet
with similar good fortune, unless the old adage of
non bis in idem should in this case once more
obtain. •
"A" stands for ACTORS
And APPLAUSE that they git
"B" is for BALLADS
That makes them a hit!
"A"
is Sully and Hussy
"B" is
"That's How I Need You"
Both at the head of the
Alphabet at the Bushwick
Theatre all of the week.

PUBLIC WANTS TOO MUCH MUSIC.
COMPLIMENTS COL. GOETTING.
Practical Politics has this to say about the fifth
election of Col. August H. Goetting, of Spring-
field, to the executive council of the Governor of
Massachusetts. Col. Goetting, as the trade knows,
enjoys the distinction of being the "largest music
jobber on earth." The article covers over a half
page, with his photograph, a part of it being:
No member of the executive council emerged
from the recent conflict with greater political
prestige than Col. Goetting of Springfield. In fact,
he was probably the only member whose prestige
as a vote getter was enhanced by the recent elec-
tion. Most of the other members got by with re-
duced pluralities and some of them had pretty tight
squeezes and not all of them had to encounter a
bull moose as well as a Democratic opponent. Yet
Col. Goetting, despite the fact that the bull moose
candidate for councillor in his district polled 9,300
votes, won out with the very comfortable plurality
of 6,000 votes. And, mark this, he was running for
a fifth term, something that has not been accorded
an executive councillor within the memory of fine
present generation.

George Edwardes, whose fame as manager of
the Gaiety Theater, London, is world-wide, in a
recent discussion of the difficulty in keeping pace
with the demands of .patrons for lighter forms of
entertainment, said:
"Public taste has altered in rriany ways. There
was a time when one big musical number would
make the success of a musical play. To-day half
a dozen at least are necessary. Musical plays
would not have grown and continued to be so pop-
ular if we had not gone with the times."
