REMICK STAR FOLIO, NO. 16
'NAT'AN" NOW AT POPULAR PRICES
Easter Music Now Receiving the Attention of
the Majority of Publishers—Interesting Issue
of the Musician—What Ditson Co., White-
Smith Co., and Thompson & Co. Are Offering
One of the recent Remick & Co. publications
of unusual value and in-
terest is the Star Dance
Folio No. 16, which con-
tains a number of the lat-
est Remick successes ex-
pertly arranged for fox-
trots, one-steps, waltzes
and rags. The new vol-
ume is a welcome addi-
tion to the series of Star
folios and is already in
considerable demand with the trade.
The Kendis Music Publishing Co., New York,
has just announced a change in its schedule of
prices for "Nat'an," its popular comedy song,
which will enable retailers to sell this selection
at 10 cents a copy. The company states that the
demand for this number has so far exceeded ex-
pectations that the increased quantity orders
enable it to make this price reduction.
"Nat'an" is being sung by many of the leading
vaudeville artists, including Belle Baker, Ruth
Roye, Sophie Tucker, Jimmie Hussey, Van and
Schenk, and by many other well-known per-
formers who are enthusiastic regarding its orig-
inality and "catchiness."
BOSTON, MASS., March 24.—The local music
trade is finding business reasonably good about
this time, much of it, as might be expected, being
in Easter music on which choirs and individual
singers now are busy. A caller in town yester-
day was Frederick Harris, the music publisher
of London, England, and Toronto, Canada, who
spent a pleasant period with several of the local
music dealers. George W. Furness, of the Dit-
son traveling staff, is in the West and reports

ried Men Out on Toot, Declare Cabaret
Proprietors—Bar Singing of Number
One of the funniest stories that has come out
of "Tin Pan Alley" for some time past is
to the effect that a number of cabaret managers
have put the ban on the singing of Piantadosi's
new number, "Your Wife," owing to the senti-
ments conveyed in the lyrics. It is said that the
effect of the song on the married man out on a
quiet little tour with a "chicken," is to make him
leave at once for his own fireside; a bad move
for the bar receipts.

Edward I. Boyle, the blind baritone, of Wo-'-.es-

Ten Cent Store." The song is said to be a hit.
