THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
A METHOD THAT HELPS SELL MUSIC
'BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG' ISSUED
Some of the Interesting Features of the Winn
Method of Popular Music and Ragtime Piano
Playing That Have Made it Successful
E. T. Paull's Latest Effort an Unusually Effec-
tive and Interesting Descriptive March Based
on the Great Civil War Battle
One of the claims made for "Winn's Practical
Method of Popular Music and Ragtime Piano
Playing" is that in addition to being readily sal-
able in itself the method also tends to increase
general music sales for the dealer, stimulating
an interest in music generally—an interest that
develops through the ability to play the piano.
It has been found that the demand for the
method comes not alone from those unable to
play, but also from those who, although able
to play, desire to increase their abilities as rag-
time pianists.
The Winn method is in two volumes and the
table of contents shows as one glances through
it that, although the method itself has been
greatly simplified, it covers the subject thor-
oughly. The many illustrations contained in
the books also do much to make it easy for
the piano player to profit by the new system.
The Winn Co. has been doing business under
the plan of giving dealers as much protection
as possible, in order to guarantee a fair profit.
The company also co-operates in exploiting the
system through supplying cover reproduc-
tions, circulars, window hangers, etc., to all
dealers who desire to make use of them. The
circular matter is supplied with the dealer's
imprint, thereb'y bringing the demand directly
to his store.
In his latest march number, "IJattle of Gettys-
burg," E. T. Paull has presented musically the
greatest battle ever fought on the American
continent. Mr. Paull enjoys a wide reputation
as a writer of descriptive marches and has
scored distinct success in this line of work.
All his march compositions are full of spirited
action and martial effects that are generally im-
pressive as is evidenced by the success of such
numbers of his composition as "Burning of
Rome," "Paul Revere's Ride," "Silver Sleigh
Bells," "Roaring Volcano," "Ring Out Wild
Bells," "Battle of the Nations," "Napoleon's Last
Charge" and others.
Mr. Paull's new march, "Battle of Gettysburg,"
is one of the best descriptive numbers he has
ever written. The opening with bugle call of the
Union army marching to battle to the tune of
"Yankee Doodle" by the fife and drum corps,
and the Confederate army advancing to the
tune of the famous "Dixie Land," arouses an
immediate interest on the part of the player, as
do the "Massing artillery on the heights," the
heavy cannonading effects, and the "Heroic
charge of Pickett's Division" of the Confederate
army. The climax of the composition comes,
however, in the musical strains representing
"Clashing of bayonets and guns," "Battle raging
furiously," "Pickett ordering retreat from the
trap of death" and in the finale "Army retreating
TO PRODUCE "BOYS WILL BE BOYS" in haste and confusion."
Mr. Paull claims he has reached the limit of

NEW REMICK SONGJN "FOLLOW ME"
Henry Lewis, one of the stars of the Anna
Held "Follow Me" show, now playing at the
Casino Theatre, New York, has added the
Remick song, "Where the Black-Eyed Susans
Grow," to the list of numbers he is using. This
song is one of the lates't additions to the
Remick catalog, but despite that fact it is hav-
ing quite a run of popularity. The lyrics of the
song are by Dave Radford, and the music by
Richard A. Whiting, a team of successful
writers.
"THE LOVE MILL^JTO BE PRODUCED
"The Love Mill," the new Dippel operetta,
will have its New York premier in the latter
part of February. The musical numbers of the
show are said to be far above the average and
distinctly attractive. Leo Feist, Inc., will pub-
lish the score.
MOTZAN'S BALLAD DOING WELL
For a ballad only a few weeks old Otto
Motzan's "A Tear, a Kiss, a Smile" is certainly
doing fine. The offices of the Karczag Publish-
ing Co., the publishers of the number have been
quite busy since its release catering to the wants
of the artists desiring to go over the number.
