WALTER JACOBS PLANS TO MOVE.
Samuel R. Schneider, Formerly with Jos. W. Well-known Boston Publisher to Occupy New
and Larger Quarters on Tremont Street—
Stern & Co. to Publish Music on His Own
Some of the Woes the Mover Experienced.
Account—Has Had Much Experience.
Samuel R. Schneider, connected with Joseph W.
Stern & Co. for some time, severed his connection
with this company last week. Mr. Schneider is
now completing plans to enter the music-publishing
business for himself, and will announce his first
publications in a few weeks.
Mr. Schneider has been in the music publishing
and theatrical newspaper business for a number of
years, having been associated with the New York
Star, Entertaining Magazine and other publications,
and has also written a number of popular songs,
including Anna lleld's hit, "Wink Your Eye," and
other hits.

BOSTON, MASS., January 25.—The news of the
month in this city is that Walter Jacobs is going to
move. Everything that Mr. Jacobs handles in the
musical line seems to meet with success; if he puts
out a piece of popular sheet music it sells like wild
lire; when he threw himself into the conduct of
Jacobs' Orchestra Monthly, advertisers rushed in
and when he made the publication the official or-
gan of the banjo and mandolin clubs another boom
was given it. This past month he has boosted his
advertising rates and few advertisers dropped out.
Night and day he and his staff have worked in
most cramped quarters—quarters entirely inade-
quate to the needs of Mr. Jacobs' growing business.

(Special to The Review.)
BOSTON, MASS., January 27.—All the traveling
force of the Oliver Ditson Co. is out and it is
finding business good, especially George W. Fur-
ness, who is in the West. The company is on the
eve of putting out several ambitious publications
of which much is expected. One of these is
"Sixty Musical Games and Recreations for Little
Musicians," by Laura Rountree Smith, which is
commended to those teaching little ones for use in
recitals and concerts. The volume has a wealth
of good material, which is varied in character and
is said to be one of the best books of its kind put
out in a long time. Another publication is a
volume of thirty organ pieces for use in Christian
Science churches, edited by Walter E. Young, or-
ganist of the First Church of Christ, Scientist,
Boston. In the collection are preludes, offertories
and postludes. They are selected from among the
world's best composers.
All the traveling men of the B. F. Wood Music
Co. likewise are in their respective fields, and the
business of this large concern is bowling along
merrily. Mr. Wood, the head of the house, is
contemplating a trip abroad, and if he decides to
go will start in a few weeks. Some of the notable
contributions to the Wood Co.'s long list of choice
music, these just issued, are "By Purling Waters,"
by Ruth Vincent; "Songs of the Hoofs," by Litta
Lynn; "A Night Song, 1 ' also by this same popular
composer, and two songs, "An Evening Prayer,"
words by Grace Duffield Goodwin and music by
Jean Bohannan; and "A Southern Hush Song,"
words and music by Litta Lynn again.
NOT PRESS_AGENT STUFF.
Adelc Ritchie is singing a new song that is mak-
ing a fine big hit. It is "I'm On My Way to
Mandalay," the latest product of the Leo Feist
Music Co., and it bids fair to takes its place with
some of those other great hits put out by Feist.
If you want to hear a really good song, well sung,
go and hear Miss Ritchie at The Palace this week.
