ANOTHER RISE IN PAPER PRICES
The Actual Shortage of Music Printing Paper
Is Much More Serious Than the Increased
Prices Charged for It—No Relief in Sight
\\
The music publishers were last week notified
that there would be another advance in the price
of paper which, on the average basis, would
amount to about $2 on a thousand copies of
music. The ascending prices have caused sev-
eral publishers to abandon the cheaper editions
of their publications entirely and the outlook
is that more will be forced to take that step.
Large buyers of paper claim that there will
be no reduction in price as long as the war lasts,
but the fact of the matter is that the publishers
are not worried as much about the advance in
paper prices as by the serious shortage that
has developed. It is predicted that the sort of
paper used for music printing will be prac-
tically unobtainable within the next few months
unless the situation takes a sudden and unex-
pected turn. One of the largest printers in
New York said that he would be compelled to
dole the amount of paper to be allowed on each
order he received after November 1 if the con-
ditions did not improve. Last week a prominent
publisher inquired of six wholesale houses be-
fore he was able to obtain twelve reams of
paper, and then only obtained the paper through
the efforts of his printer.

MREVIDVflEARS
THAT with minstrel first parts incorporated
in the new shows to be given at the Hippo-
drome and Winter Garden, it is time for the
publishers to dust off the old minstrel num-
bers for further use.
THAT according to a Chicago authority the
proper sort of music may take the place of food.
He didn't say so, but probably ragtime would
be accepted as hamburger steak or hash.
THAT the swiftness of action displayed by
members of the Greater New York Publishers'
and Dealers' Association was due to the ef-
fects of a strenuous day of ball playing and rac-
ing exercises that were in most cases rather
unusual.
THAT Earl Carroll has just completed two new
songs for Lina Abarbanell in her new show,
"Flora Bella."
THAT the latest method for distributing pro-
fessional copies is to enclose them in the film
boxes for delivery to the various motion pic-
ture theatres.
THAT the next step will be to print the song
on the film themselves.
THAT Phil Kornheiser, professional manager
for Leo Feist, Inc., is again a proud daddy. It's
a boy. Born last week and weighing eight
pounds ringside.
THAT Joe Fuchs, music buyer for the Kresge
store of St. Louis, Mo., was a visitor in New
York last week.
THAT Cliff Odoms, manager of the Feist
Philadelphia branch, spent several days in New
York during the week.
THAT Ben Edwards, of the Feist professional
staff, left last Saturday for a two weeks' vaca-
tion in Yulan, Sullivan County, New York, it
is said, in an effort to rest and gain weight.
THAT A. J. Stasny was initiated into Pacific
Lodge No. 233, F. & A. M., on August 17.
The next production at the New York Hippo-
drome, under the management of Chas. B.
Dillingham, which will open about Labor Day,
will be entitled "The Big Show," with several
supplementary titles. The ice ballet will occupy
the first section of the program. The second
section will be a revue and include a minstrel
first part and the third section will be devoted
entirely to Pavlowa and her company. "The NEW BOOK FOR MUSIC SUPERVISORS
