Columbia Campus Concert Program on Sep-
tember 5 Devoted Largely to Compositions
by Edwin Franko Goldman, Conductor
The compositions of Edwin Franko Gold-
man, conductor of the Goldman Band, which has
been rendering a series of Summer concerts
at Columbia University, have become so popu-
lar during the past five Summers, and so many
requests for a Goldman program have been re-
ceived, that it was decided to devote half of
the program on Tuesday evening, September
5, to the compositions of that popular band-
master. A great deal of Mr. Goldman's popu-
larity has been achieved through his melodious
and spirited marches, as well as through his fox-
trots.
Below is the full program given on the
Columbia Campus on the evening in question.
All of the Goldman numbers, with the excep-
tion of "In the Springtime" and "Chimes of
Liberty," are published by Carl Fischer. These
two, however, are in the better class catalog
of l.eo Feist, Inc.
The library committee in a New England
town recently has been buying "popular music"

innovation and it is hoped that it will stamp
out a fondness among the young people for the
cheaper grades of music by supplying the bet-

THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
LATEST ASSOCIATION ACTIVITY
Sheet Music Dealers' Association Co-operating
With Music Industries Chamber of Commerce
Thomas J. Donlan, secretary of the National
Association of Sheet Music Dealers, which has
recently become a division member of the Music
Industries Chamber of Commerce, is actively
engaged in working with officials of the Cham-
ber on. plans whereby the two organizations
may be of mutual assistance to each other.
The Association, which has long advocated an
improvement in the methods of conducting the
sheet music business, will work in close har-
mony with the Chamber's Better Business Bu-
reau, both giving and receiving aid in the cam-
paign to put a stop to unbusinesslike practices
prevailing among customers, as well as among
those engaged in the business.
One of the contemplated activities of the
Music Dealers' Association is the operation of
a Retail Credit Rating Bureau for the exchange
of credit information among its members. Mr.
Donlan stated that a pamphlet was at present
in the course of preparation which will give a
detailed account of the past accomplishments of
the Association and an outline of future plans.
. "There will be a membership drive," said Mr.
Donlan, "in which we have been assured of the.
assistance of the Music Industries Chamber of
Commerce and which I confidently expect will
double or treble the membership of our Asso-
ciation within a short time. All the facilities
of the Chamber will now be available to mem-
bers of the Association."
Membership dues in the National Association
• of Sheet Music Dealers are $5.00 per year for
firms employing less than four persons in their
sheet music department and $10.00 per year for
firms employing four persons or more. Ap-
plicatioTis for membership, accompanied by
check, should be mailed to Thomas J. Donlan,
Secretary, 275 Orient Way, Rutherford, N. J.
