McKINLEY MUSIC C O .
a composer, he has always had a secret, though
subjugated, taste for good music, and he is a
man of education. The statement from him as
to why he is issuing a larger and larger percent-
age of standard classics and melody classics
must carry weight. He says:
"For years I have been putting some of the
profits made on my hits into really good music—
not heavy, dry, strict classics, but in melodious
numbers that would pass with any critic as good
music. This was partly to satisfy a whim or an
ambition, if you want to dignify it so, but mainly
as a sort of casting bread on the waters. Re-
cently the sale of these issues has taken so
marked a jump that mere observation has
prompted me to go deeper into that branch of
my business. The teachers are getting larger
classes, the public schools are teaching good
music, concert performers never had more pros-
perous seasons. I figure the public has taken a
rest from too much serious things in art and
that it is rested and hungry for something bet-
ter. That is all there is to that matter."
It may be "all there is to that matter," but we
think differently. It is our belief that an era is
in store when the piano shall once more be heard
in the home, when the children shall once more
be encouraged to develop their musical faculties
and not be limited to the training of their feet.
Whatever is due it cannot be for worse and it
promises for better, so let us rejoice.

Kentucky Governor Asks State to Purchase
Home of "Swanee" Composer
Kentuckians are planning a unique tribute to
Stephen Collins Foster, composer of "Swanee
River" and "My Old Kentucky Home."
Recently Edwin P. Morrow, governor of Ken-
tucky, issued a proclamation calling upon "fond
expatriates from the Kentucky soil that gave
them birth" to contribute to a fund for purchas-
ing and beautifying of Federal Hill, the venerable
mansion near Louisville, where Foster wrote his
famous song, "My Old Kentucky Home."
In response to the call one former Kentuckian,
a well-known New York theatre manager, sent
the first check for $2,500 to the Lexington Col-
lege of Music. A $100,000 drive has been started
in the State. Louisville raised $4,000 for one
entertainment.
PUBLICITY FOR "MON HOMME"
Following the interpolation of the Leo Feist,
Inc., song, "Mon Homme," in the new Ziegfeld
"Follies," the publishers inserted an advertise-
ment in the music department of The New York
Globe. The copy carried the following caption,
"Mon Homme Thanks You, Mr. Ziegfeld and
Fanny Brice." Miss Brice, by the way, is fea-
turing the song.

BETTER MUSICAL TASTE
The fervidness with which certain champions
of "jazz" defend it and their insistence on the
endurance of the craze gives the considering
mind doubt as to the strength of a cause which
needs so much protestation. That this perverted
form of pseudo melodious rhythm still has many
followers is true, but the number has fallen so
greatly that "he who runs may read."
Whatever ideals publishers and talking ma-
chine record manufacturers may have are gen-
erally kept for home and after-business hours'
indulgence. Men are in business for money and
these men have made large fortunes from rags,
jazzes and hits, while the craze lasted. They are
not averse to getting more fortunes from the
same source; therefore, why have they suddenly
shown so marked a tendency toward better
things?
We have said that they are not idealists in
business hours, so they cannot have in mind a
philanthropic intention to reform the clientele
so profitably exploited erstwhile. Public opinion
may be molded to a degree, but popular taste
is a thing of long years of cultivation by outside
influences, or an overnight revolution from un-
known forces within itself. The music pub-
lisher and the talking machine record maker
may, therefore, be accepted as keen and shrewd
readers of the handwriting on the wall. They
recognize a growing demand and hurry to supply
it And that demand is for better music.
Looking over the new releases of the largest
of the record firms, we note that the percentage
of jazz has fallen to a fraction of the whole and
to a decimal of what it was two years ago.
Publishers of popular music, in most cases
themselves composers of that sort of stuff, are
slower to recognize the newer condition. They
are slow in this because they are reluctant and
fearful. It is outside of their sphere of thought
and action. They cannot compose serious music,
they cannot pick it for its possibilities and they
do not understand the psychology of a clientele
that wants anything, better than "Jumba-lomba-
loo Blues." Feeling something slipping from
under them they become greatly agitated.
One publisher in Chicago who has made more
than the average "increment" from "hit" num-
bers is fortunate in several ways. He is not
