PLTTSIIUKCJH, PA., December 14.—Volkwein Bros ,
one of the few music publishing houses of this
section, have just placed on the market two new
songs which are expected to achieve even greater
success than their recently published ballad, "I'm

Old and Gray."' The first, entitled "Emblem of
Peace," is a march and two step, and was com-
posed by George A. Regg, Jr., of Volkwein Bros.
It is dedicated to President Wilson. The second,
entitled "Longing," is by F. William Fleer, or-
ganist of the Kaufnianu & ISaer auditorium.

THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
A MUSICAL MYSTERY
CYCLE OF_FIVE SONGS.
"Love's Triumphs" is the title of a cycle of
five songs just issued by the Oliver Ditson Co.,
Boston, Mass. The text of this cycle is by Charles
Hanson Towne, and is set to music by Bruno
Huhn in a manner that one would expect from
such a finished musician. This cycle by virtue of
its merits should win a large share of favor. The
verse is excellent and the music and arrangement
are in every respect most admirable. It shows a
skill and authority that must please the cultured
vocalist and lover of high class music.
He says divine service would be empty without thk
congregation.
Benefits of the service are real only ^

Skrisbin has treated the subject devotionally.
WERRENRATH^_RADICAL VIEWS.
Reinald Werrenrath, the well-known baritone,
estimates that there are half a million students of
the voice in the United States. Not more than
twenty of these, he believes, receive the income
of the average business man. In New York alone,
he said the other day, there are six thousand
vocal teachers. He added: "I could say quite
truthfully nearly six thousand humbugs. I'm not
saying these things to be sensational, but I've seen
so much during the last fifteen years. I do think,
however, that there are many splendid teachers of
interpretation right here in New York. But for
the tone work—the building of the voice itself, the
development of the instrument—ah, there one must
choose carefully, cautiously!"
STERLING
It's what is i«side of the Sterling that has made its repu-
tation. Every detail of its construction receives thorough
attention from expert workmen—every material used in its
construction is the best—absolutely. That means a piano
of permanent excellence in every particular in which a
piano should excel. The dealer sees the connection between
these facts and the universal popularity of the Sterling.
