THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
CONDUCTED BY B. B. WILSON
NAT OSBORNE JOINS FEIST STAFF
Weil-Known Song-Writer Signs Contract with
That House—Other Changes in the Staff
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The latest addition to the large Feist staff of
song-writers is Nat Osborne, composer of "That's
the Song of Songs for Me" and other successes,
and who was recently with Shapiro-Bernstein &
Co. Mr. Osborne has several new numbers in
the introductory stage.
Harry Collins, who looks after many of the Feist
interests in the greatest city, reports things to be
humming. He has heard many favorable comments
regarding the elimination of the middle sheet, the
latest Feist innovation in music printing. Joe
Schuster, who has been succeeded by Miss Joyce
behind the band and orchestra counter, is now out
in the field handling the band leaders personally.
"NAT'AN"
PRODUCE "HER SOLDIER BOY"
New Operetta Has Premiere in Newark, N. J. t
on Monday Night
The new operetta, "Her Soldier Boy," by Em-
merich Kalman, .composer of "Sari," was pro-
duced by the Shuberts in Newark on Monday
night, April 3. Next week the operetta will go
to Chicago, after which New York may have a
look and a listen. Arrangements for publishing
the entire score have been practically completed
by the Karczag Publishing Co. Some of the
song titles are "My Mother," "The Song of
Home," "Our Native Land," "Golden Sunshine,"
"Oh, Heart of Mine," and three comedy numbers,
"Little Neutral Dog," "Ta-ra-ta," and "Cuckoo."

Shuberts Introduce Remick & Co.'s Number in
"The World of Pleasure"
"Salmagundi," a musical comedy, with book
by the late Elbert Hubbard, lyrics by Earl
Carroll and music by Enrico Caruso, has been
accepted by Oliver Morosco for production in
the fall. Mr. Hubbard had written most of the
book when he met his death in the "Lusitania"
disaster. Thereupon his son, Elbert Hubbard,
Jr., completed the manuscript.
GOOD BUSINESS AT WINDMAYER'S
BRANEN AND LANGE PROLIFIC
Fred C. Windmayer, of the Windmayer Music
Co., Atlanta, Ga., is doing an exceptional busi-
ness in sheet music. He was formerly the man-
ager of the sheet music department of the Phil-
lips & Crew Co., and recently opened his pres-
ent store at 83 Peachtree street, occupying it
jointly with LeRoy C. Webb, dealer in Victor
Victrolas and records.
Jeff Brancn and Arthur Lange, whose song,
"When It's Orange-Blossom Time in Loveland,"
has kept the Joe Morris Co. on the jump tilling
orders, have turned out five new numbers which
sound good. The titles of the new songs are
"Santa Rosa," "I Love You So," "By the Shores
of the Irish Sea," "I Couldn't Forget Her," and
"I Gave My Heart and Hand to Some One in
Dixie Land."

NEW CHAPPELL=NOVELLO SONG
Ivor Novello, who wrote the big international
patriotic hit, " 'Till the Boys Come Home," has
now written a successor to that song, entitled
"Laddie in Khaki," or "The Girl Who Waits at
Home." Chappell & Co. look for a duplication
of the success of the first song, though a moder-
ate share of that success would mean big sales.
SIGN UP WITH HAMMERSTEIN
Otto Hauerbach and Rudolf Friml, authors of
"Katinka," now playing at the Lyric Theatre,
New York, have signed a contract with Arthur
Hammerstein to run five years, during which
they will write a series of musical comedies, to
be produced under the Hammerstein manage-
ment.
"GLORIA" IN REHEARSAL
John Cort now has in rehearsal a new operetta
entitled "Gloria," with book and lyrics by Harry
B. and Robert B. Smith and music by Carol
Woess. The piece will have its premiere on
Easter Monday and after a short tour will be
brought into New York.
THEODORE MORSE RECOVERED
The many friends of Theo. Morse will be glad
to learn that that popular song writer has prac-
tically recovered from the siege of pneumonia
that has confined him to his home for some time
past and has resumed his work.
"Underneath the Stars," the Remick dance num-
ber, lias earned the distinction of being introduced
into the big show, "A World of Pleasure."
Herbert Spencer, composer of this big success,
is back in town after a long tour of the road.
He has several new numbers in manuscript
which will be taken up immediately by the
Remick Co. Another new Remick number that
is starting out like a winner is the novelty song,
"That Midnight Frolic of Mine," by A. Seymour
Brown and Albert Gutnble.
PUCCINI'S NEWJ)PERA READY
Puccini, who has worked all winter on three
operas at his home in Lucca, Italy, announces
that two of them, "Rondine" and "11 Tabarro"
(The Mantle) are now ready for production. The
latter piece may be seen in Italy in the fall, but
"Rondine" has been contracted for by the Vienna
State Theatre and is therefore held up by the
war. Puccini is now finishing a third opera
dealing with the fourteenth century, or the time
of the Italian Renaissance.
The tenth anniversary of the opening of the
New York Hippodrome will be celebrated by an
unusually elaborate all-star concert at the big
playhouse on Sunday, April 16.

REVIEW
THAT the coming Friars Frolic should afford
song writers an unusual opportunity for putting
over their latest numbers under most acceptable
conditions.
THAT Rudolph E. Schirmer, head of the music
publishing house of G. Schirmer, was married
last week to Miss Ann Swinburne, a prominent
concert singer.
THAT the wave of higher prices has at last
reached the members of the trade who like to
have their pictures in the papers. On April 1
the price of cuts was practically doubled.
THAT the song with the most brilliant or ex-
pensive title page is not necessarily the greatest
hit. Watch and see.
THAT the Associated Song Writers of America
have proven that the organization is alive by a
most elaborate and enjoyable dinner held last
week.
THAT a correspondent wants to know just why
the word "blues" is such a popular part of a
number of instrumental pieces such as "The
Memphis Blues," the "Kansas City Blues," etc.
It is certainly not indicative of the character of
the melody.

Great Success Expected for "Mother Mavour-
neen," a Clever Number by George Graff, Jr.,
and George H. Gartlan.
Leo Feist, Inc., has just accepted for publica-
tion a brand new Irish song entitled "Mother
Mavourneen," which, according to those respon-
sible for the selection of the number, is destined
to be one of the greatest songs of its kind ever
written. "Mother Mavourneen" is by George
Graff, Jr., with music by George H. Gartlan, and
is unusual both in quality of the music and the
melody. Mr. Graff, by the way, was responsible
for the lyrics of "Wake Up, America." one of the
recent Feist successes.

GORDON PUBLISHES WAR=S0NG
With a brilliant red, white, and blue patriotic
cover and a refrain that catches the ear, the new
war-song "We's All for Uncle Sam," has been pub-
lished by Hamilton S. Gordon. A big window
sign, patterned after the cover, is going out to
dealers. Nobody short of a blind man can pass it
without a couple of looks. The song is by James
Wells and Walter J. Pond.
The Concordia Music House Co., of St. Louis,
Mo., has recently added H. S. McGuire to its
sales staff.
