New Orleans Concern Relinquishes Right to
That Name in Favor of New York House
Announcement has been sent out to the trade
by Sam L. Rosenbaum, manager of the Triangle
Music Publishing Co., of New Orleans, La.,
stating his firm has relinquished the right to the
firm name and trade-mark as used on their pub-
lications and will in the very near future operate
their publishing business under an entirely new
trade name, yet to be decided on.
The Triangle Music Publishing Co., 145 West
Forty-fifth Street, New York, who claimed prior
right to the use of the name by virtue of their
name being registered, together with the trade-
mark, by the United States Patent Office, will
continue to use the name as heretofore.
Mr. Rosenbaum further states that they have
not assigned their rights in their existing pub-
lications, but have waived only the right to the
name Triangle Music Publishing Co.
NEW BALLAD GAINING POPULARITY
Meyer Cohen, of the Meyer Cohen Music Co.,
in a recent statement said that his firm's song,
"I'd Love to Dance an Old-Fashioned Waltz," is

the company's catalog and together with
"There's a Vacant Chair in Every Home To-
night" is being given much publicity.

TO EXHIBIT VIOLINS AND BOWS
"HEAD OVER HEELS" A HIT
W. H. Peate to Have Display at the Hotel Some Excellent Music in New Musical Comedy
McAlpin During the Convention of the Na-
Starring Mitzi Hajos—Score Published by T.
tional .Association of Sheet Music Dealers
B. Harms & Francis, Day & Hunter
\Y. H. Peate, of Peate's Music House, I'tica,
N. Y., lias sent out announcements to the trade
that lie will exhibit violins and bows at the
Hotel McAlpin from June 10 to June 13. Mr.
Peate, who is well known among both the sheet
music and musical instrument trade, will at the
same time attend the convention of the National
Association of Sheet Music Dealers, who are
also to hold their annual session at the McAlpin
Hotel on the above dates.
The fact that anyone has imported bows and
violins at this time will be of interest to the
entire trade, especially in view of the fact that
there is a distinct shortage at the present time
of such articles, and under the present shipping
regulations they cannot be imported. There is
very little doubt but this class of musical mer-
chandise will continue to increase in price and
by the end of the year a further scarcity will
exist.

successful and favorite ditties as "My Lovin'

"Every Bee Has a Bug," "I Was Lonely,"
"Funny Little Something" and "Moments of the

sionals.
