ANOTHER_FEIST SONG.
Prof. G. W. Ulrich, a retired composer and piano
teacher, died at his home, 2901 Clarendon road,
Flatbush, New York, July 15, in his seventy-eighth
year. He was born and educated in Germany, and
was known as a musical prodigy when he came to
this country many years ago. Three sons and a
daughter survive him.
The sterling music mark is "Leo Feist, New York."
The title page is characteristic and striking—a
young man discovered in the act of declaring his
love to the girl, each one being composed of differ-
ent sized hearts and "some" eyes, to bear out the
text of the title page.
TO PRODUCE NEW LIGHT OPERA.
Arthur Hamme # rstein will produce a new light
opera, called "Elaine," by Otto Hauerbach and
Rudolph Friml, in the fall. It will be on the style
of "Naughty Marietta" and "The Firefly." The
production will be very pretentious. Mr. Hammer-
stein's other plans include a light opera with Edith
Thayer in the principal role. Two companies play-
ing "Hight Jinks," one playing "The Firefly" and
one presenting "The Trap" will go on tour.
