THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW

Professional Manager for Leo Feist, Inc., Jour-
neys to New England to Discuss the Coming
Campaigns—Rocco Vocco Recovered.
NEW DITSON PUBLICATIONS.
Songs by Prominent Composers Just Issued by
Weil-Known Boston House—H. L. Hunt, of
New York, a Visitor to Headquarters.
(.Special to The Review.)
Phil Kornheiser, live-wire professional manager
for Leo Feist, Inc., took a flying trip to Boston
this week to consult with Billy Lang, in charge of
the company's office in that city, regarding the com-
ing campaigns with "I'm on My Way to Mandalay"
and "You Broke My Heart to Pass the Time
Away" as the feature numbers. Between jaunts to
Boston and Philadelphia, and looking after things
at headquarters, Mr. Kornheiser manages to kee>
fairly busy, but he gets the results, which is the
big answer.
Rocco Vocco, professional manager for the Feis"
house in Chicago, after being laid up for some
time with an attack of appendicitis, is now f.l'y
recovered and back on the job.
BOOSEY & CO.^LATEST ISSUES
Contain Many Numbers of Exceeding Merit
That Should Find Favor with Singers and
Dealers Who Desire High-Class Music.
Boosey & Co.'s latest budget of music contains
seven songs that are in keeping with the Boosey
reputation, being high-class numbers that are
bound to find a large measure of popularity.
It would be invidious to single out any special
number for distinction, for the list as a whole can'
be recommended to the consideration of good sing-
ers, and dealers who desire to cater to them.
Nevertheless, of special merit are: "When My
Ships Come Sailing Home," by Francis Dorel, with
.words by Reginald Stewart, and "Sweet as the
Graces of a Rose." music by Maud Wingate and
words by Elsie Hill.
Other numbers are: "Up from Somerset," with
music by Wilfrid Sanderson and words by Fred
E. Weatherly; "Tango Tangle." music by Au-
gustus Barratt and words by Cyril Campbell; "A
Summer Afternoon," music ' y Robert Batten and
words by F. Chatterton Hennequin; "Mother's
Garden," music by A. Herbert Brewer and words
by 1'red H. Weatherly; "(). My Love's L ; kc a Rid,
Red Rose," music by Samuel Liddle to Buns'
poem, and "The Dear Old Home Is Calling," music
by Arthur Kingston-Stewart and words by G.
Hubi-Newcombe.
Siegfried Wagner has completed a new opera,
entitled "Her lleidenkiinig" ("The King of the
Heathen").

BOSTON, MASS., March 2.---H L. Hunt, of
Charles H. Ditson & Co., of New York, was
• n town for a few days the latter part of the
month, and was the guest of the Oliver Ditson
Co.
Mr. Hunt reported metropolitan conditions
as picking up all along the line. George W. Fur-
ness, out in the Middle Western field, likewise is
finding trade conditions quite good, with the spring
prospects even better. Here are some of the songs
just issued by the Oliver Ditson 'Co., all of them
of a .real musicianly character: "Even Song," by
one of a group of three, by William Spencer John-
son ; "Mistress Rosebud," music by George Chap
man, words by John Kendrick Bangs; "Longing,"
by Egon Putz and Eugene C. Nowland; "Call Me
"Sweetheart'," words and music by Marie Ricli:
'In Two Sweet Eyes," words by Fred G. Bowles
and music by Nathaniel Irving Hyatt, and the fa-
mous lullaby from the old-time favorite light opera
'Erminie," by Ed Jakobowski. The February
issue of The Musician contains a real winterish
cover that is most attractive. The contents include
"Reminiscences of Haydn in Vienna,' 1 by "Edwin
Hughes, a report of the thirty-fifth annual meeting
of the Music Teachers' "National Association, by
W. J. Baltzell: the third of llie series on "The
Making of Musicians," by C. von Sternbcrg;
"An American Teacher in Paris, Mrs. A. J. Good-
rich," by Harriet Brower; "Dussek, a Neglected
Composer," by J. Mendelsohn; "Opera Singers,"
by Gustav Kobbe. Many good numbers are in-
cluded in the music supplement.
THAT MYSTERIOUS TEMPERAMENT.
Why All the World Is Not in Reverent Sympa-
thy with a Sensitive Temperament Told by
Willard Spencer Most Interestingly.
\\ illard Spencer was recently shocked to tnul th:it
all the world is not impartially in reverent sym-
pathy with a sensitive temperament. In his capacity
as composer he was recently called to the road ai a
certain extremity of the traveling company which
was appearing in one of his operas. He dropped
into one of the dressing rooms.
"So here you are,'' snarled the comedian, whose
scowl was made more hideous by reason of ill-
distributed grease paint. "That song you give me
is a frost. I got to bring on a big fat man made up
as a tramp to get it by. What you trying to
do to this show? Have a heart!"
"Everything is all right," beamed Mr. Sptncer,
soothingly. "I have strengthened the piece by in
terpolating my creation called 'Love Comes Like a
Summer Sigh.' Did I ever tell you how 1 came
to compose it?"'
"So that is the answer?" grumblud the comedian,
•returning to his mirror. "How did you compose
it?"
"On one beautiful night," rhapsodized the com-
poser, "1 chanced to be in a small boat drifting on
a placid lake. Prom the shore came the light
breath of breezes scented with summer. It seemed
thai I was floating in another existence with melo-
dy floating all about me. It was the strain of
love which comes like a summer sigh. Is it not
wonderful—the temperament of music?"
Once more the paint-smeared face of the come-
dian turned to the composer with disgust.
"Where were you sitting when you wrote that
junk you gave me?" he demanded. "In a chicken
yard in the rain? Floating around you must have
been some eggs which you crystallized into musi-
cal being! They were bad eggs. Please don't write
for me when you pick that kind of a hang-out
again."
OPTIMISM.
Little old man on Seventh avenue, sans overcoat
and gloves, hands blue with cold, shoveling snow
as though he were paid by the shovelful and sing-
ing loudly: "I love the cows and chickens, but this
is the life."
