TRENTON, N. J., September 13.—The S. P. Dun-

teenth anniversary of the establishment of its sheet

entertainers were the Crescendo Four, an instru-
mental quartet of local prominence.

MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
MREVIEWflEARS
THAT following the lead of the actor people, sev-
eral prominent song writers have fallen for the
lure of the "movies," among them the old-time
team of Jerome & Schwartz, who have signed up
with the Keystone people.
THAT from a financial standpoint the writing of
words and music for "pictures" appears to hold
considerable possibilities.
THAT Irving Berlin has completed the score of
Charles Dillingham's new Hippodrome production,
"Stop, Look, Listen."
THAT the giving of useful articles instead of
prize cups in song contests should serve to stimu-
late song pluggers to fresh efforts.
THAT Theodore Morse has risen to the occasion
and written an excellent new march-song called
"Soldier Boy," which is declared to be fully equal
to "Dolly Grey" of some years ago.
THAT Earl Carroll is no longer connected with
M. Witmark & Sons, and has not yet announced
any new affiliation.
THAT the first New York performance of Victor
Herbert's new operetta, "The Princess Pat," is
scheduled for September 27.
THAT the flood of Irish songs appears to be in-
creasing rather than decreasing, and, strange to
say, the majority of the numbers are really worth
while, which cannot be said about many of the new
Hawaiian numbers.

FEIST WEEKjUHG SUCCESS.
Dealers Make Surprising, Strong Response in
Campaign Carried on by Feist House.
The present week has been Feist Week, as desig-
nated by the widespread advertising of the house
of Leo Feist, Inc., in the trade papers and genera'
magazines of large circulation, and the executive^
of the house have been thoroughly well satisfied
with the manner in which the retailers responded
in co-operating in the sales campaign.
It was suggested that the dealers stock up with
the four numbers featured in the campaign, name-
ly, "Norway," "Come Back, Dixie," "All I Can Do
Is Just Love You," and "When You're in Love
With Someone," in order to secure the full benefit
of the publicity, and a surprising number saw the
light and ordered liberally. The normal orders for
the four songs began to increase rapidly early last
week, with the result that Friday, September 10,
broke the record of the Feist house in the volume
of orders received and filled in one day.
On Monday of this week, following the large ad-
vertisement in the magazines on Sunday, over a
score of telegraph orders were received from deal-
ers, and more came later in the week. Both in
the volume of publicity involved and in the re-
sponse from the trade this latest Feist campaign
has been and is a remarkable one.
SOMETHING FIERCE.
"I hear that new act at the Jollity is very shock-
ing."
"Yeah. It ought to be playing on the shir 1 ,
circuit."

effect that all advertising, leaflets inclosed with
books sent by mail should be paid for at the third
class rate of one cent for each ounce or fraction,
provided the postage chargeable at that rate was
higher than the postage on the fourth class parcel
post rate. Among others to ask for a ruling on
this rate was the Merchants' Association of New
York, and the secretary- -received the following
communication from the Third Assistant Postmas-
ter General on the subject:
"In this connection it is deemed proper to point
out that advertising leaflets such as the publishing
houses desire to send with their books may be in-
closed therewith without affecting their classifica-
tion in cases where the postage on the parcels at
•parcel post rates would be lower than the third
class rate, by prepaying postage on the parcels at
the latter rate, which rate was chargeable in all in-

rates to books. You will see, therefore, that no
privilege has been taken from publishing houses in

Is My Heart," is one of the few songs that has
lived up to all the claims.made for it before pub-
lication and is distinctly unusual and worth while,
both in the character of the lyrics and the melo-
dious qualities of the music itself. The number
has been taken up by several prominent concert
singers as well as vaudeville artists who feature
the better class of music, and has been most cor-
dially received and encored wherever sung. The
song has been provided with a charming title page
