THAT The Review extends to its readers the
most cordial wishes for a very Merry Christinas
season.
THAT several of our prominent publishers will
be interested to learn that there was not a song hit
published this winter, according to a writer in the
New York World.
THAT, despite an effort at being pessimistic, we
cannot agree with the "no hit" doctrine.
THAT Billy Lang, Boston manager for Leo
Feist, Inc., was a visitor to New York headquar-
ters this week.
THAT with the coming of the "Dad" song, fol-
lowing the "Mother" titles, there will soon be
music for sister, brother and the rest of the family.
THAT while the catalog of Jerome H. Remick
& Co. continues to grow rapidly, the number of
good sellers appears to increase in proportion.
THAT Teddy Morse is doing some great work
for his "M-O-T-H-E-R" song on his present
vaudeville tour.
THAT Chas. K. Harris is putting over his latest
song, "The Lights of My Home Town," with con-
siderable success.
THAT the majority of the publishers have al-
ready prepared more or less elaborate plans for
making 1916 far outshine the year just closing.

A full page illustrated story on the new Feist
hit, "M-O-T-H-E-R," including an article by James
E. Lough, professor of experimental psychology
of New York University, regarding the psycho-
logical features of songs in general and the
"M-O-T-H-E-R" song in particular, was part of
the magazine section of the New York American
last Sunday. The illustrations included a repro-
duction of Lavery's painting, "Mother," and por-
traits of Eva Tanguay, Emma Carus, Lina Abar-
banell and Bessie Wynn. The words of the song
and a thematic of the chorus were also included.
It was great publicity.
