A NEW "MOST POPULAR" VOLUME
HAWAIIAN MUSIC FOR THE SUMMER
Hinds, Hayden & Eldredge Issue a Most Timely
Book Entitled "The Most Popular Songs of
Patriotism"—Having a Heavy Sale
Airs of the Islands Prove Most Suitable, With
Their Instrumental Accompaniments for Use
During the Out-of-Doors Weather
The Hinds, Hayden & Eldredge "Most Pop-
ular Series" of song books have recently had
added a new and very timely book under the
title "The Most Popular Songs of Patriotism"
(including national songs of all the world)
which contains ninety-two American patriotic
songs, including many brand new songs never
before published in any collection, as well as
forty-three national songs of other nations in
both the original text and the English trans-
lation.
Since the recent publication of this
book the sale has been very heavy, and has
taxed the capacity of the sales force of the com-
pany to supply the demand.
Hawaiian music, for the most part lithesome
and gay, is particularly suited to the musical
demand of the summer months when the guitar
and ukulele feature so prominently out doors.
Although it has had a long run, Hawaiian
music, still maintains, and in some cases has
increased its popularity, as is evidenced by
the sales records made by Sherman, Clay & Co.,
San Francisco, Cal., who are among the leading
publishers of this class of music, and who have
issued a number of distinct success since the
big run on "On the Beach at Waikiki." Prom-
inent selections in the Sherman, Clay & Co. cat-
alog include: "Oloha Land" (Hawaiian waltz),
"Drowsy Waters," "She Sang Aloha to Me,"
"Aloha Waltzes," "Garden of Paradise," and
several others that have attained country-wide
recognition.
In addition to the sheet music, this company
have also published successfully a number of
books on Hawaiian music, among them being
the Bailey Ukulele Method, a self-instructor, of
which nearly 200,000 copies have been sold,
Peterson Steel Guitar Method and several col-
lections of Hawaiian songs and instrumental
numbers.
"THE FOX TRAIL" FOR JUNE
The June number of "The Fox Trail," the
bright little house organ of the Sam Fox Pub-
lishing Co., Cleveland, O., is termed a patriotic
number, and contains special references to the
several excellent patriotic songs issued by the
Fox house, including the success, "For the Free-
dom of the World." There is also a resume
of business conditions by R. O. Weiss, and some
excellent editorial matter.
"DEW DROP INN'^OPENS IN CHICAGO
"Dew Drop Inn," one of the new musical sum-
mer shows, opened at the Illinois Theatre in
Chicago on Monday night of this week. The
music came in for some favorable comment from
the local papers there, and from all reports, the
show will be in the Windy City for some time.

"Over There," which Nora Bayes recently in-

his fondness in his latest release. The number
is published by the Wm. Jerome Publishing Co.

0LD=TIME WARSONG A SUCCESS
"Break the News to Mother" Proving More
Popular Than Ever
Chas. K. Harris, in reviving "Break the News
to Mother," took advantage of the psychological
moment for such a venture as reports from
music dealers show. The new issue is pub-
lished with very attractive title page which in
itself seems to draw attention wherever the song
is displayed. The number has never died, but
has had a surprising sale ever since its original
release during the Spanish-American war. It
has never sold for less than 12^3 cents wholesale,
and as now issued, as a popular number, its
sales should be greatly increased.
"OVER THERE';_BE1NG FEATURED
Liane Carriria, Anna Held's daughter, as-
sisted by Eddie Loweree, is featuring Geo. M.
Cohan's new patriotic number, "Over There,"
on her vaudeville tour which she is now mak-
ing. The above number, which is published by
the Wm. Jerome Publishing Corp., is growing
lapidly in popularity.

POSSIBILITIES OF RAGTIME
Magazine Writer Declares It Reflects the De-
sires of the Populace
Ragtime is a type of music substantially new
in musical history. It has persisted, grown,
evolved in many directions, without official rec-
ognition or aid. You may take it as certain that
if many millions of people persist in liking some-
thing that has not been recognized by the
schools, there is vitality in that thing. The atti-
tude toward folk-music at the beginning of the
nineteenth century was very similar. A Rus-
sian folk-song was no less scorned in the court
of Catharine the Great than a ragtime song in
our music studios to-day. Yet Russian folk-song
became the basis of some of the most vigorous
art music of the last century, and no musician
speaks of it to-day except in terms of respect.
The taste of the populace is often enough toward
the shoddy and outworn, but when the popu-
lace creates its own art without official encour-
agement, then let the artists listen. I haven't
a notion whether ragtime is going to form the
basis of an "American school of composition,"
but I am sure that many a native composer
could save his soul if he would open his ears
to this folk-music of the American city.—New
Republic.
