THAT the shutting down of one music publishing
house and the cutting down of the staff of another
house under syndicate management are being
viewed askance by the trade at large.
THAT several competing houses predict the fail-
ure of the chain system of music publishers with
numerous separate establishments to maintain.
THAT Fritzi Scheff is credited with making an
effer of $10,000 to the composer of a suitable light
opera in which she can return to the legitimate
stage.
THAT such a composer, if he gets the cash, will
be much better off than several music publishers
who have published the music of some of Fritzi's
former shows.
THAT an actress afflicted with too much tempera-
ment and chronic ill-health means a bad business
proposition.
THAT one prominent New York music publisher
has the controlling interest in a money-making
play, and is also credited with winning several
thousand dollars on the recent world series base-
ball games.
THAT the facts stated will explain to numerous
members of the trade just why some music pub-
lishers die rich.
THAT this season, as last, the really successful
musical comedies and operettas are few and far
between.
THAT "on the road" is where the shows influence
the sale of the music to the greatest extent, but the
road, judging from the number of flivvers re-
ported, wants but few of the shows.
THAT it is estimated over 10,000 students of
music visit New York each winter for the purpose
of studying, and it is safe to say that a propor-
tionate number visit other cities to study.
THAT with such an army of students there
would appear an excellent field for the sale of
teaching music in large quantities.
THAT E. T. Paull, head of the E. T. Paull Music
Co., the successful specialists in marches, has re-
turned from a lengthy visit to Europe as major
of the First Regiment of "Minute Men." The
organization attended the twenty-fifth anniversary
of the Kaiser's reign and then toured Europe.

Ten Cent and Variety Stores Make Strong Bid
for Popular Music Trade and Use Up-to-Date
Methods for Attracting Business.
(Special to The Review.)
SPRINGFIELD, I I I . , November 3.—The people of
this city are getting about all the popular music
they desire free of charge, owing to the strong
competition between the ten cent and variety
stores in the selling of popular prints at ten cents.
The Woolworth, Kresge and Home Stores Co., as
well as Cash & Co.'s variety store, have all installed
pianos and demonstrators, and as all the stores are
located within a block or so of each other, the
flood of popular melody is proving highly pleas-
ing to the local residents. At the present time the
regular music stores are several laps behind in the
running.
