MISS MARION BAUER'S SUCCESS.
Her Compositions, Which Are of a High Order
of Merit, Are Steadily Enlarging Their Popu-
larity with the Critical Musical Public.
An American composer whose compositions are
deservedly winning a large measure of popularity
these days with discriminating musicians is Miss
Marion Bauer, of New York. Her suite of four
piano pieces, published by Arthur Schmidt, en-
titled "In the Country," has in a few months
reached its second edition. Her songs have been
on the programs of the leading operatic and con-
cert artists this season—a tribute to their worth
that is most significant, for compositions by Euro-
pean composers are invariably given the preference
by the vocal magnates.
Miss Bauer's compositions show that she pre-
fers solids to froth. Her scoring is authoritative
without being pedantic, and there is a distinct
charm and originality in her work that appeals to
those who love music for music's sake. This is
eloquently evidenced in her songs, "The Red Man's
Requiem," "Star Trysts," "Coyote Song" and in
"Ocklawaha," which has won tremendous favor
for the violin, it being played with great success by
a number of eminent artists. It is obvious that

are most satisfactory. The various strong num-
bers are being featured throughout the West and
also sold in large quantities, and Vocco Rocco, pro-

ticular success in pushing "I'm On My Way to

THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
STRIKING WINDOW DISPLAY OF THE OLIVER DITSON CO. "HALF DOLLAR" MUSIC SERIES.
150 TREMONT STREET, BOSTON, MASS.
One of the noteworthy factors in the great and
growing business of the Oliver Ditson Co. in the
field of music publishing is the "Half-Dollar Musi*.
Series," a collection of the best that is offered in
standard music carefully arranged for the con-
sideration of cither the artist or the student and
offered at price that lias proven a tremendous at-
traction for music lovers.
The ''Half-Dollar
Series" owes its wonderful and increasing popu-
larity to the value offered and is far in excess of
the price asked, the music being selected with par-
ticular care from the enormous amount that ranks
as good and then arranged in a manner that makes

STOCK UP
The following clever summary of the present
craze for the tango recently appeared in a musical
paper under the caption of ''Tangoitis":
"A contagious and catching complaint. As far
as scientists are able to discover, it originated in
South America some years ago. However, several
cases came to light in Europe, and it became an
epidemic which has spread to the United States of
America. The scientific and medical name of the
germ which spreads the malady is 'Amapa,' and it
seems to thrive best and is most prevalent in the
ballroom. Hence the name of the greatest tango
success. Therefore, if the germ 'Amapa' through
its contagion, spreads the malady 'tangoitis,' so the
contagious melody of 'Amapa' makes it the popular
'tango-it-is."
It may be mentioned that the 'Amapa' referred
to is published in the United States by Chappell &
Co., New York.'
