of an Exclusive Musical Section
-"Carry On"-
WE ARE THE PUBLISHERS OF THE WORLD'S TWO
GREATEST BALLAD SUCCESSES
Huntzinger & Dilworth. although among the
younger music publishing houses in New York,
have met with such success that it has been
necessary for them to seek larger quarters in
which to carry on their growing business. The
firm announces, therefore, that after March 1st
they will be located at 159 West Fifty-seventh
street, New York. The new quarters are in the
exclusive Carnegie Hall district, where many
noted singers and teachers have studios, and
therefore should prove ideal for Huntzinger &
Dilworth in exploiting the high-grade numbers
that make up their catalog. The company's
progress presages much for the future.
"ROSES OF PICARDY"
Words by FRED E. WEATHERLY
REFRAIN
Roses are shining in Picnrdy,
In the hush of the silver dew;
Roses are flow'ring in Pieardy,
But there's never a rose like you.

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court
last week reversed the order of the Supreme
Court in the case of the Karczag Publishing Co.
vs. the Shubert Theatrical Co., et al., in the
$50,000 suit brought by the Karczag Co. because
certain songs were interpolated in "Her Soldier
l>oy" without the permission of the Karczag
Co.. who held the rights to the score.
The Shubert attorneys tiled a demurrer to the
MEYER COHEN CO. INCORPORATED
complaint, claiming that the plaintiff had failed
The Meyer Cohen Music Publishing Co., New to set forth facts sufficient to constitute a cause
for action, that the plaintiff had no legal ca-
York, has been incorporated with capital stock
of $20,000 by M. Cohen, M. L. Stone and L. pacity to sue, in that the contract was between
Michaels. The incorporation papers include pro- YY. Karczag and the Shuberts, and that G. Schir-
visions for engaging in theatricals and motion mer, Inc., publishers of the interpolated num-
bers, were a necessary party with the defendants
pictures.
and had not been named. The Supreme Court
overruled the demurrer, and the Appellate Divi-
sion has reversed the Supreme Court and sus-
tained the demurrer, holding that there was no
cause for action.
The case cannot be accepted as a precedent
covering interpolation, but only as determining
the status of a certain complaint.
Felix Meyer, president of the Karczag Pub-
lishing Co., Inc., when informed of the above
decision by The Review, said: "Our lawyer:-
have foreseen such a situation" and they already
1'ave made arrangements for an appeal."

And the roses will die with the summertime.
And our roads may be far apitrt;
But there's one rose that dies not in Pieardy,
'Tis the rose tlmt I keep in my heart.

CHICAGO, ILI,., February IS.—Carrie Jacobs-Hond
has added another laurel leaf to her already
shining wreath with her latest composition en-
titled "Do You Remember?" This new selection,
"a waltz, is a most soul-beguiling melody and
like all other of her creations it is a classic which
bids fair to live long in the affections of music
lovers. There can be no doubt but that it will
succeed "A Perfect Day," of which she is also
the author, this being conceded by critics to be
one of the most beautiful of contemporary com-
positions in this country.
Among other of Mrs. Bond's works which are
creating a demand throughout the trade are:
"The Soul of You," "A Cottage in God's Gar-
den," anil "1 Love You Truly."
Xot only are her compositions works of art,
but mention here regarding the cover illustra-
tions of her productions would not be amiss.
For example, the cover illustration of "Do
You Remember Waltz" is from a painting that
has attracted considerable attention throughout
art circles. It is a faithful color reproduction of
this painting and would in itself be highly prized
by the purchaser. This is not only true of this
one number in particular, but also applies to
every selection published by the Hond shop, of
which her son, F. S. Smith, is manager.
NEW WITMARK BALLAD ANNOUNCED
GOOD REPORT FROM PHILADELPHIA
Fred Auger, manager of the Philadelphia of-
fice of Leo Feist, Inc., was a visitor at the New
York orifices of the company the latter part of

situation to be very healthy.

publication of "He's Got Those Big Blue Eyes
Like You, Daddy Mine," known for short as

tive lyrics by Al. Dubin, and a fetching melody
by a newcomer in the field. Lew Wilson.
