BOSTON, MASS., September 27.—In anticipation
of the coming appearance of Geraldine Farrar in
a motion picture version of "Carmen" at Sym-
phony Hall, this city, on October 1, the Oliver Dit-
son Co. has made a notable d'splay in its Tremont
street windows of American and foreign "Carmen"
music, including its splendid edition de luxe of the
vocal score, with introduction by Philip Hale.
The var'ous editions were shown in a great va-

FRANCISCO, CAL., September
24—E'. P.
Little, manager of the music department of Sher-
man, Clay & Co., states that he has just ascerta : ned
through a representative of one of the large trans-
continental railroads that on October 18 a new
tariff will go into effect that will make it possible
to ship sheet music at the same rate as books, i. e.,
at $2 per hundred pounds, instead of $3.70 as for-
merly. The new rate will mean a great saving to
the music dealers of the far West and will be
greatly appreciated.
At its recent convention in New York the
National Association of Sheet Music Dealers, of
which Mr. Little is a member, made a strong pro-
test against the present rates on sheet music as
compared to that charged on other goods, and
planned a strong campaign in that connection.

ploitation of Recent Popular Numbers Just

The score is published by T. B. Harms & Francis

"New York Hippodrome March." Details of the
production will be given next week.

What is probably the most attractive catalog of
popular music that has yet made its appearance in
the trade is that issued last week by Leo Feist,
Inc., and in which is featured the four great Feist
songs of the season, as well as other seasonable
successes of that house, such as "T Want to Go
to Tokio," "When It's Moonlight in Mayo," "My
Own Venetian Rose," "Beatrice Fairfax, Tell Me
What to Do," "Down Among the Sheltering
Palms," and several other songs and instrumental
numbers. The booklet acts as an introduction to
the Feist staff of writers, and in addition to the
thematic of a song and a reproduction of the title,
each page bears in the tipper corner the portrait
of some prominent song writer, followed by a
paragraph or two, signed, regarding his expe-
riences in song writing. In the general lay-out, the
printing in two colors and general attractiveness
the catalog will be hard to surpass.

"MISS INFORMATION" FOR NEW YORK
Charles Dillingham has arranged to nave Miss
Els'e Janis in her new musical play, "Miss Infor-
mation," by Jerome 'Kern and John Golden, open
at the Cohan Theater, New York, on October 5
for a run. The piece had its premiere in Roches-
ter, N. Y., recently, where it was particularly well
received. Among those who attended the per-
formance was Max Dreyfus, of T. B. Harms &
Francis Day & Hunter, who will publish the music
of the piece.

Rogers and Music by C. L. Roberts, and which is
being featured most successfully by Nora Bayes
on her present vaudev'lle tour, which recently in-
cluded a week at the Palace Theater in New York
City.
This house also has an excellent number of the

The lyrics of the piece are very clever and are
woven around the experience of summer-time
flirtations at the seashore.

MUCH ACTIVITY IN BUFFALO.
(Special to The Review.)
BUFFALO, N. Y., September 25.—Waterson, Ber-
lin & Snyder attracted considerable attention here
last week, when "Hands Up" was playing at the
Teck. They decorated their store to represent the
entrance to a circus, and advertised the songs
from the show in great style, with the result that
sales hit a new high-water mark for the present
season.
A recent visitor to the Buffalo trade was "Dick"
Winternitz, the dynamic representative of Leo
Feist, Inc., who stopped off while homeward
bound from a tour of the East and Middle West
and Canada.
Walter Douglas, of the Broadway Music Corp.;
Julius Roos, of the Plaza Music Co., and Mr.
Avery, of M. Witmark & Sons, were also included
among recent visitors.
H. I. Davis, who has a store on Main street,
near Huron, is advertising a "removal sale" and is
selling out his stock of popular and standard prints
at 'barga'n prices.
MUST NOT SING "FRISCO."
Sam Rice, owner of a burlesque company, and
two of its members, Lester Hill and Dolly Sweet,
were forbidden Monday by Judge Relstab in the
Federal Court at Newark to sing in public the song
"Hello, Frisco." Ziegfeld's Follies, Inc., of New
York, was the complainant.
Rice's show played at the Orpheum in Newark
recently and Hill and Miss Sweet sang the copy-
righted song. Affidavits presented Monday showed
the burlesquers' action violated the Ziegfeld rights
rnder the Copyright Law.
