NEW PAULL MARCH DOING WELL
MUSIC POPULAR ON PACIFIC COAST
SONG WRITERS BECOME PUBLISHERS
"Battle of Gettysburg," New Descriptive March,
Productive of Numerous Orders
Several Numbers That Are Meeting With Much
Success in Far West—E. P. Little in the
East Calling on Publishers and Dealers
Joe McCarthy and Fred Fischer Form New
Company For Exploitation of New Songs
The "Rattle of Gettysburg," the latest march
number from the pen of that most successful
writer of descriptive marches, E. T. Paull, is
being received very favorably wherever it is
heard. Mr. Paull has in the past succeeded in
writing a number of works which have had ex-
cellent sales, and his latest march promises to
follow suit.
The "Cattle of Gettysburg" is the result of al-
most two years' work, and as a descriptive
number will no doubt take its place alongside
of such other works of the same writer such as
"Burning of Rome," "Paul Revere's Ride,"
"Roaring Volcano," "Ring Out, Wild Bells,"
"Battle of the Nations" and "Napoleon's Last
Charge." "The Battle of Gettysburg" is filled
with the thrills that go with a battle. One hears
the Union army marching to the tune of
"Yankee Doodle," and the Confederate army
advancing to the strains of "Dixie Land." Then
there are the massing of the artillery on the
heights and the charge of Pickett's division, and
an inspiring climax with the Confederate army
retreating in haste and confusion.
Mr. Paull is being rewarded for the time he
gave to composing "Battle of Gettysburg" by
the unanimous praise of all who have heard the
number, and the demand for the march is
heavy. With war clouds again on the horizon,
the portrayal in music form of the greatest battle
in the nation's history is most appropriate at
this time.
"BOYS WILL BEJJOYS" OPENS
"Boys Will Be Boys," the new Oscar Strauss
operetta, which is being produced by Fred Whit-
ney, will open in Wilmington, Del., on February
19, where after several days' run it will finish
the week in Atlantic City, followed by a week's
production in Baltimore.
The most popular
numbers of the show are "Love, Come to Me,"
"Music Elates Us," "Please, Please" and "Long-
ing For You." The music will be published by
Jos. W. Stern & Co.

ONE=HANJDED MUSICFOR WAR VICTIMS
The great numDei*»«£.maimed men at the pres-
ent time returning from the battle fronts in
Europe, has resulteAwin a considerable discus-
sion regarding one-handed music which has even
reached the columns of the London Times. It
has been pointed out that most hymn tunes,
many of Chopin's preludes and a great majority
of etudes by famous composers, are written
largely for one hand and many numbers writ-
ten for both hands may be played with one hand.

More competition for American song writers.
There are now about t a start' from England
two of the best-known song writers of that
country, viz., P. R. Weston and Bert Lee, who
have supplied successful music hall ditties for
the past twenty years. Just what they are go-
ing to do on this side of the Atlantic is not
stated.
The ranks of the song writers who have be-
come publishers on their own account were aug-
mented last week when Joe McCarthy and Fred
Fischer, well-known and successful song writers,
incorporated as the McCarthy & Fischer Pub-
lishing Co., opening offices at 148 West Forty-
fifth street. They state that several novelty
songs and ballads by the heads of the company
