THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
The appearance of the new United States
Music Co. catalog at this time leads to the re-
flection that this company has made a very-
great success in a short time.
T h e United
States Music Co. began its operations as an
arranger and publisher of popular music en-
tirely, or almost so, and this reputation has been
built up largely on the basis of the very clever
arranging work it has turned out in this spe-
cial field. The present catalog, which is issued
as Volume 5 under date of August, 1918, con-
tains, of course, a very large quantity of pop-
ular songs, dances, rags, jazzes, etc., but the
publishers have been wise in building up the
beginnings of an excellent library in the less
ephemeral styles of music.
The present cat-
alog therefore contains a considerable quantity
of good standard songs, marches, piano pieces,
etc., and also quite a few of the better known
and lighter classics, such as Chopin nocturnes,
concert waltzes, and so on. Another realm of
musical endeavor to which the United States
Music Co. has paid much attention is that of
Slavonic music.
The new catalog contains a
great deal of Bohemian and Slovak folk music;
songs, dances and medleys of popular Slavonic
tunes.
In view of the importance of Chicago
as a center of Slavonic settlement in America,
this move has been wise; but it is even more
so at the moment when the recognition of
Czecho-Slovak independence by the Allied
Powers has brought the sufferings, the heroism
and the claims of the brave Bohemian nation
so clearly before the American people. T h e Bo-
hemians are, on the whole, the best educated
people, as a people, of all Europe, and they
make excellent citizens when they come over
here and have had time to Americanize them-
selves. They have been loyal citizens, too, dur-
ing the present war, seeing in the triumph of the
Allies the realization of their national aspira-
tions.
Their music, too, is thoroughly good,
and they have produced at least two composers
of international renown; Smetana and Dvorak,
as well as many great pianists, violinists and
singers.
T h e United States Music Co. there-
fore is doing well to feature Czecho-Slovak
music, and we hope it will keep up its very good
work.
Another novelty in the catalog line is the
new Q R S volume, complete to July 1, 1918.
This catalog represents what is in effect a new
departure for the Q R S Co. in many ways;
and not only a departure but an advance. T h e
volume includes lists of the Autograph hand-
played rolls, the special Mother Goose rhyme
song rolls, the word roll edition, the edition of
special hand-played story rolls of classic num-
bers with marginal printed commentary and ex-
planation of the music; as well as the regular
standard Q R S arrangements and the editions
of vocal talking machine and instrumental ac-
companiments.
The book has 217 closely-
printed octavo pages and the type is clean and
clear. A novel feature is the inclusion of por-
traits of great composers represented in the
catalog, with notes on their lives and autograph
specimens of their musical scores, etc., etc.

Now, the principal reason for our calling spe-
cial attention to this lies in the fact that the
catalog represents an advance in trade practice.
It is not the last word to be uttered on the
subject by a long shot, but it is the last word
yet uttered. It shows, in effect, that the music
roll men are getting to understand that they
must put themselves into a more intimate posi-
tion with the great public and must undertake
to create a public demand for their wares. The
old attitude of exclusiveness is gone, killed by
the operation of causes which were not, and per-
haps could not have been, anticipated. Cat-
alogs like the new Q R S volume represent an
attempt to get under the public skin, and should
for that reason be encouraged and promoted in
every possible way.
A tendency is noticeable towards shortening
up the lists of new titles published each month.
We have said a wftrd or two about this already,
and it would seem that the publishers are com-
ing around to the idea which has recently been
so much discussed by members of the Associa-
tion of Music Roll Manufacturers. At the pres-
ent time there is everything to be said in favor
of the idea and nothing, or practically nothing,
to be said against it. May the good work go on.
AEOLIAN CO.
The November bulletin of this company shows
song rolls, Metro-Art and Themodist-Metro-
style rolls. The total number released is only
twenty-six, but it cannot be said that anything
significant is missed. In fact, we are very glad
