THE MUSIC TRADE
With many complaining about bad
business CENTURY SALES have
increased nearly 25$ the first five
months of 1915!
REASON: We kept at the public
and the dealers, appreciating our
service, did the same.
We told the people what to buy.
The dealers supplied the demand.

SUMMER PROSPECTS IN BOSTON.
Discussing the Outlook—New Ditson Issues—
White-Smith Co. News—Walter
Jacobs
to Issue Popular Music Regularly.
(Special to The Review.)
BOSTON, MASS., May 30.—Boston music publish-
ers are finding business not much more than fair
at this time and there is much speculation as to
what the summer is going to develop, this being a
season that ordinarily is rather quiet with publish-
ers. The Oliver Ditson Co. has made several con-
tributions in the past few weeks, some of the sheet
music issues being "Hush-a-By, Darling," a Scot-
tish song with verses by Lachlan Mac Bean, with
accompaniment by Helen Hopekirk; "My Sweet-
ing," a song by Louise Ayres Garnett; "God, That
Madest Earth and Heaven," by F. Flaxington
Harker, a sacred song, and "Morning in Spring,"

by H. Alexander Matthews. "The Musician," for
June, is a MacDowell number.
The White-Smith Music Co. reports that a num-
ber of its publications are to be sung at the forth-
coming convention at Los Angeles, Cal., of the
Federation of Women's Clubs. Among the com-
positions will be the new sonata by Cadmaii, which
will be done by Claude Gothelf, of California, this
being its first public performance.
Cadman's
"Knighthood Song" will be sung by Cecil Fan-
ning. A new set of songs by Gertrude Ross, who
has written some tine compositions for the White-
Smith Co., will soon be published under the title
of "A War Trilogy" and the group will be sung
by Mme. Schumann-Heink. A visitor to the White-
Smith Co. lately was Mr. Adams, of the Berg-
strom Music Co., of Honolulu, who remained in
town for several days.
The Wood Co. has received .many letters since
the death of C. C. Durgin, its traveling representa-
tive, mention of whose passing away was made in
The Review a few weeks ago. All of the com-
munications pay high tribute to Mr. Durgin, who
had many friends all over the country.
Walter Jacobs has found a considerably en-
larged demand for the popular music such as he
has been putting out from time to time, and he
has decided to issue a certain number of compo-
sitions of this style each month. Some of the
more popular pieces which have lately been put
out by him include "Parade of the Puppets," by
Walter Rolfe, this being a march comique;
"Knock-Knees," a one-step; "The Three Nymphs,"
a dance classique, by George L. Cobb; "Step Live-
ly," a march and two-step by Thomas S. Allen;
"Fussin' Around," a kind of fox trot, by William
C. Isel. Jacobs' Orchestra Monthly is making
many new friends each month, especially since it
has made its appeal to amateurs as well as pro-
fessionals.

NEW SHOW AT WINTER GARDEN.
The annual summer production at the Winter
Garden, "The Passing Show of 1915," was pre-
sented for :he first time in Ncv York at the big
Hroadway playhouse on Saturday evening. As is
usually the case with Winter Garden shows, the
new offering was a melange of music, girls and
spectacular scenic effects, with a number of promi-
nent performers in the principal roles. The book
and lyrics of the piece are by Harold Atteridgc.
THAT several of the recent popular songs have
apparently formed the habit of appearing in
hunches—for instance, the "Mr. O'Reilly'' songs.
THAT they have, for some time past, had talking
machines and pianos on the transcontinental trains
and now are planning to entertain the passengers
with motion pictures.
THAT with the development of traveling com-
forts we may expect to see the cabaret or vaude-
ville performance on the trains and a new open-
ing made for the plugger of popular prints.
THAT rehearsals of the new musical comedy,
"The Girl Who Smiles," will begin on July 1 with
Natalie Alt, who achieved success in "Adele," by
the same librettist and composer, in one of the
leading roles. Remick & Co. will publish the music.

week were due, for the most part, to the receipt
