THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
A VICTIM OF ATMOSPHERE.
Fred Fischer Explains Why He Must Write
Music—Declares That Baby Thelma Was the
Inspiration for "Norway."
In the ordinary course of events a story relating
to the young lady pictured herewith should end
with a statement that her apparently healthy condi-
tion was made possible through the use of some-
body's famous baby food. As a matter of fact,.
however, Thelma's male parent bears the name of
Fred and is slightly known around these parts as
the writer of a number of popular song successes.
Pa Fischer declares that Thelma offered the in-
spiration for his recent success, "Norway," where-
in her name is used to advantage. Judging from
the young lady's costume, the inspiration for his
latest song, "Siam," came from the same source.
In Norway the climate demands something more
than a Winter Garden or. Follies raiment.
Fred Fischer confesses that he is a great song
writer and declares that he can't help it. He once
shook hands with Wagner, knows Oscar Straus
personally, and on one occasion he sat through a
concert of the Philharmonic Society. With all

The favorite songs of this highly praised Lieder-singer are drawn from the music of many
lands, from her native Holland to our own America, and including France, Germany, Ire-
land, etc. This collection is made up of such numbers as have won Mme. Culp's affection
as well as proved their acceptability to her enthusiastic audiences, and the volume is of
extraordinary interest. A charming Introduction from the singer's own pen and portraits
enrich the book. :

IMPROVED JOBBING FACILITIES.
The recent removal of the long-established and
extensive music jobbing business of A. H. Goet-
ting from Springfield, Mass., to 145 West Forty-
fifth street, New York, where it has been merged
with the Enterprise Music Supply Co., is expected
to mean much in facilitating the work of supply-
ing dealers promptly with desired music. Located
in the heart of the music publishing district, it will
be easy for the Goetting house, now known as the
Enterprise Music Supply Co., to keep in close
touch with the market and to maintain adequate
supplies of desirable music at all times.
Additional space has been leased at the Forty-
fifth street address for the purpose of taking
care of the increased business, which is under the
management of Maurice Richmond, who was for-
merly manager of the Enterprise Co.
