Embrace a Song Cycle, Seven Songs and a
Transcription—All of a Very High Order.
Boosey & Co., New York, this week issued seven
songs of more than ordinary merit, a song cycle,
and a piano transcription of Charles Marshall's
famous song, "I Hear You Calling Me." The
latter is most effectively arranged by Clarence
Lucas, the clever Canadian composer, who is also
represented by a song, "Waiting for You," which
is of more than ordinary musical worth—or pure
classical tendencies—to words by J. D. Logan.
"Gratitude" is the title of a new song by Charles
Marshall, which is notable for its pleasing melody,
and adds to the reputation of this well-known
writer. "At the Gate," by Liza Lehmann, is a
realistic musical setting to one of Tennyson's
shorter poems which has been sung by Mme. Nor-
dica. "If" is the title of a song by Ivor Novello,
whose simple theme is admirably developed musi-
cally, with a very pleasing accompaniment. An-
other well considered song admirable in melody
and arrangement is "The Roses in My Garden,"
by Ernest Dunkels. "Soldier, What of the Night,"
by J. Airlie Dix, has a stirring martial flavor, with
words that tell of the glory of achievement. "A
Sea Song" of distinct merit is "The Shipmates 0 '
Mine," by Wilfred Sanderson, which is not only
strikingly melodic, but original in texture^ with a
sweeping climax. The songs as a whole are of a
very high order.
The Song Cycle, "Three Songs of the East," is

THAT a certain song writer and publisher, in a
lengthy article in a contemporary, rises to inquire
as to the existence of a "music trust."
THAT, according to some of the local "popular"
publishers, there is a music trust and too much of
if with collections getting worse all the time.
THAT, according to a song writer who claims to
have made a study of the subject, even those rec-
ognized as successful song writers must write ten
or more numbers in order to secure one hit.
THAT in view of the proportion of "hits" to the
volume of popular music published the estimate of
successes is entirely too high.
THAT, even with the growth of the ten cent and
department store business, the million copy sales
records are talked about more frequently than
made.
THAT Jack Von Tilzer has returned to the pub-
lishing game' as general manager of the Empire
Music Co., a recent addition to the Forty-fifth street
colony.
THAT a Boston publisher, who has made a couple
of excellent deals, is thinking strongly of going
into the "song nursery" business, raising songs to
the promising stage for sale to other publishers.
THAT, according to the latest wild report, strains
of music, such as a lively two step, proves of great
assistance to young students in the correct forma-
tion of their letters.
THAT on the same theory the playing of some of
the modern ragtime and tango selections should
aid materially in the successful study of short-
hand.

Yon Won't Believe It, But-
after we had seen so much obscene, we tore the "rags"
from "Rag-time," then plucked the "sick" from
"Classic" and knocked a different kind of "sick" out
of "Music"—the result was FIVE OLD-FASHIONED,
GOOD SONGS—Retail, 10 cents.
Then we "Whooped her up" into regular "seven-
come-eleven time" and what we have to show for that
is a folio of SIXTEEN real, live. GENUINE COL-
LEGE SONGS—In folio, retail, 50 cents.
Ask about them. Ask to see them.
