OLIVER DITSON CO. HAPPENINGS.
Latest Publications Selling Well—Recent Dit-
son Visitors—New Songs Just Issued.
(Special to The Review.)
BOSTON, MASS., September 7.—Lots of sjood news
comes from the Oliver Ditson Co. this month. The
house, in the first place, is highly pleased over the
way two of its recent publications have been sell-
ing, namely, "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny" and
the "Blue-White March." For the benefit of the
trade the company is putting out a handsomely
prepared leaflet with the heading, "An Old Song—
Sung in the Moonlight and the Message It Con-
veyed." This will be so folded that something of
interest will appear on each leaf, and on one will
be a picture of Alma Gluck, the famous singer, who
so delightfully renders "Whispering Hope."
Harry Haney, the receiving and order clerk for
the company's outside publications, who was mar-
ried on August 'A, has returned to his office, bring-
ing back with him his bride, who before her mar-
riage was Miss Julia Sweeney, stenographer of the
publication department. A recent caller at the Oli-
ver Ditson Co.'s quarters was Mr. Fletcher, of
William A. Pond & Co., the New York publishing
house. George W. Furness, of the traveling staff,
is back from the Pacific Coast, on which trip he
has been away for ten weeks, a trip that was espe-
cially satisfactory.
Some new songs just issued by the Oliver Dit-
son Co. include: "The Hundred Pipers," a Jacobite
song, a Scotch air arranged by Charles MacPher-
son and Alan Stuart. This is one of the series of
Scottish songs which the house has been putting
out. "Requital," words by Charlotte Becker and
music by Emil Wiegand; "The King," by Fay Fos-
ter, and a sacred song, "Hear, O Lord," by Alfred
Wooler. In the half-dollar music series there is a
volume of familiar melodies, fourteen in number,
transcribed for the piano by Charles Grobe.
The September number of The Musician has an
article on Franz Liszt, with a picture of the com-
poser on the cover. There are many instructive ar-
ticks in the volume, and in the music section there
is the score of "Blue-White March," by Schmidt,
witli which the Ditson Co. has been having such
phenomenal success.

Sensational Song Hits
In a "sister act" playing in New York last week
one of the girls states, in song, that she is going
back to her old home in Virginia; her partner next
declares that she is going back to New Orleans, and
they join together in singing that they are on their
way to Tennessee. It's what you might call travel-
ing some for a fifteen-minute sketch.
