THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
WITH THE BOSTON PUBLISHERS.
August Number of The Musician Full of In-
teresting Features—Charles W . Thompson
Arranging for New Publications—An Inter-
esting Letter from California.
(Special to The Review.)
BOSTON, MASS., August 16.—The August num-
ber of The Musician has as its introductory
article an appreciation of Percy Aldridge Grain-
ger, Australian composer and pianist, by Will-
iam Armstrong. There is a portrait of the
composer accompanying the article. Frederick
H. Martens considers as the second of four great
pianists of the eighteenth century Domenico Scar-
latti, Thomas Tapper writes on "The Community
and Its Music,'' and some of the other contributors
are George Knzinger, Edwin H. Pierce, Gustav L.
Becker, A, W. Remington, Harry B. Gaul, Helena
Maguire and Blanche Dingley Mathews.
Charles W. Thompson, the Park street music
pubHsher, is I'm ding business fair during the sum-
mer. He is arranging for a group of new pub-
lications early next month. Provided the weather
is at all favorable, Mr. Thompson hopes to take an
ocean trip the latter part of the month, taking the
Halifax, N. S., line as far as Charlottetown, P.E.I.
"Bill" Strong, who only a few months ago re-
turned from trie Pacific Coast in the interests of
the B. F. Wood Music Co., is again on a Coast
trip, and the present one will be quite as long if
not longer than his previous one, for he will not
return East until some time in September. Ambas-
sador Small will visit a number of the leading cen-
ters before returning home. The Wood Co. has
lately put out an edition of Mozart's Complete So-
natas. The edition is put out in the usual high-
class style- of the Wood house. A feature of the
sonatas is that one hand always is free at the end
of a page, which allows of the edge being easily
turned without interrupting the uniformity of the
movement. A new song, entitled "My Dearie," by
May Helen Brown, who has written several com-
positions for the Wood Co., has been put out and
bids fair to be popular.
Banks M. Davison, of the White-Smith Music
Co., is in receipt of an interesting letter from
Ephelynde Smith, the soprano, who has lately been
visiting Mrs. Gertrude Ross, the composer of
"'Three Songs of the Desert," at her home in Cali-
fornia. This well-known singer tells an interesting
story of coming across the desert on her way East

ABOLISHES THE CABARET.
Radical Action by Milwaukee Authorities May
Have Influence on Music Business.
(Special to The Review.)
MILWAUKEE, WIS., August \C>,—The abolition of
the cabaret in Milwaukee is going to seriously
affect the sale of popular music, as the system of
"plugging" for the song hits at the various cafes
will now be a thing of the past. Indications are,
howevir, that the result will be that the general
tone of songs offered for sale here will be raised.
As a result of the passage of the Stemper bill
by the Wisconsin Legislature, Chief of Police John
T. Janssen, of Milwaukee, has been given the
power to thoroughly regulate the saloons and cafes
of this city. One of the first things that he an-
nounced a^ter the passage of the law was that the
cabarets vfcould be driven out.

that especially impressed her. Upon developing
the picture she sent a copy of it to Mr. Davison
with the letter, and Mr. Davison shared the singer's
surprise when he recognized almost the exact coun-
terpart of the picture that adorns the cover of the
"Desert" songs of Mrs. Ross, indicating quite clear-
ly that the artist who drew the cover design got
into the true atmosphere of the compositions.
