States and Canada, were unable to print it here,
and were compelled to charge high prices for
imported piano and orchestral parts. Chappell
& Co., however, have just received a cable
from Paris to the effect that satisfactory
arrangements have now been made and
that the "Sphinx" waltz may now be printed
here. The result of the lower price thus possible
should be a great increase in the popularity of
the number. A song arrangement of the waltz
under the title of "Oh You Haunting Waltz,"
with words by Thomas Edgelow, is now on the
press.
