ITALIAN COMPOSER DIES
Author of "Funiculi Funicula" Recently Passed
Away in Italy
The death of Luigi Denza brings to mind his
"Funiculi Funicula," a song that has gained a
world-wide popularity and which so aptly ex-
presses the Neapolitan spirit that Richard Strauss
used it in his orchestral suite, "Aus Italien," as a
folk song. Strauss or his publisher some years
later sued for infringement of copyright a man
who used much less of one of his musical mo-
tives as an avowed quotation. Denza's song was
inspired by the opening of the funicular railway
and was written for the festivities of the "Die
di Grotto" in Naples in 1880.

FOX SONQ FEATURED
"Somewhere in Naples" Subject of Novel Stage
Setting at Spokane Theatre
We herewith reproduce a most unique and at-
tractive stage setting which was purposely ar-
ranged in order to program effectively the Sam
Fox Pub. Co.'s song, "Somewhere in Naples."
This recently appeared in the Liberty Theatre,
Spokane, Wash., one of the largest motion pic-
ture houses on the Pacific Coast. Ray A. Grom-
bacher, manager of the Liberty Theatre and also
of The Music Shop, of Spokane, the latter han-
dling Victor products as well as sheet music,
forwarded Sam Fox, of the Sam Fox Pub. Co.,
the following letter, which will give a good idea
of the painstaking care which was used in order
to stage the number:
"I am enclosing a photograph with this letter,
showing you how we staged your song 'Some-
Stage Setting Featuring Sam
where in Naples.' The photograph does not do
the set justice, as the lighting effect was beau-
tiful.
"The gondola, with the two singers and gondo-
lier, started from the right-hand stage with very
dim blue lights and a sharp amber spotlight on
the principals and passed to the left-hand side
of the stage, stopping in the middle. The male
singer sang the verse and at the chorus the fe-
male singer joined, making a duet. The elegy
FIFTEEN CENTS RETAIL!
was played by a young lady, back stage, on a
violin, and during the singing of the last chorus
the boat started from the center stage to the left
with the gondolier making the motion of rowing
the boat.
"A curtain of scrim was drawn across the
front of the stage, entirely covering the set, giv-
ing it a very soft appearance. It is the biggest
plug a song has received in this city for a long-
time.
"We trust you will be pleased to hear of this
and are writing you this letter to let you know
that we are one of your boosters."
WHERE SERVICE WILL BRING REWARD
Interesting and Timely Editorial From Ditson
Novelty List for April
A timely editorial on the subject of service
acts as an introduction to the Ditson Novelty
List for April, issued
by the Oliver Ditson
Co., Boston, a n d
Chas. H. Ditson &
Co., New York. The
editorial emphasizes
p a r t i c u l a r l y the
necessity of studying
t h e customer's re-
quirements and cater-
ing to those require-
ments, and says:
"Intelligent, com-
prehensive s e r v i c e

wants of your cus-
tomers, notify them collectively and individually
when you receive an invoice of new music and
let them take it out to read, play or sing—the
initial cost is so small you can well afford to do
so—and you will gain a reputation for helpful-
ness that will travel far.
"If you are giving this service now renew your
efforts; the possibilities are limitless. If you are
not doing it, now is the time to begin. You will
find a large percentage of our novelties useful.
Our output this year is reduced at least 60 per
cent—the result is quality. Dealers are not ex-
pected to take it all until a demand has been
created for it all."

The Triangle Music Pub. Co., New York City,
has been carrying on an active campaign in both
trade and professional circles on its fox-trot song
"Thrills." This number, together with "Carolina

CHICAGO, I I I . , April 3.—Singers on vaudeville
