ton. The two numbers displayed were "Man-
dalay" and "I Wonder What's Become of
Sally." It surely was a prize winner from a
display viewpoint.
Oliver's Music House, a firm doing business
with the same shingle and a very reliable one
in this city for twenty-seven years, reports
business on a splendid footing. In a few mo-
ments' conversation with Mr. Oliver, he stated
he was well pleased with conditions. His feature
piano is the Estey line. The music department
in this store is also reporting progress. A
selective stock of the best in the standard lines,
as well as the popular publications, is much in
evidence.

1 found a most interesting and high-class cafe-
teria in the Rice Hotel—and what delicious
things they did serve! While partaking, Lloyd
Finlay, of the Finlay Orchestra, delivered some
melodious strains that were well worth listening
to. It is a combination of t-en men, of which
the cornet and trombone are specially featured.
Mr. Finlay is also the musical director of the
Majestic Vaudeville Theatre. It is very evi-
dent that the recording managers of the phono-
graph companies have overlooked a splendid
combination.
The W. C. Munn Co., one of the largest de-
partment stores in this section of the country,
operates The Munn Song Shop under the direc-
tion of Henri Therrien, who is at present in
Chicago. The lady in charge is Mrs. Isabel
Soelter. Not only is she a splendid musician,
but she is in possession of ever so many natural
gifts. Her personality immediately appeals to
anyone with whom she comes in contact. The
six best selling popular hits at the Munn Song
Shop, as given by Mrs. Soelter, are as follows:
"It Had To Be You," "What'll I Do?" "Hard-
Hearted Hannah," "Jealous," "Mandalay," and
"Sweet Little You."
Robert Fischer, of Goggan's, attributes his
success in his music department partly to the
fact that he has so many clever girls. He is
rather partial to the "fair sex" in connection
with this kind of work but he found just this

one fault. He had a girl by the name of Tillie
Clinger; she wasn't getting on so well, and he
told her she would have to cut out eating eggs
for breakfast as it would undoubtedly help her
to quit cackling. I asked Bob if he would take
part of the afternoon off and show me some-
thing of Houston. He said that he didn't pos-
sess an automobile, but that he was very happy
about it because, "While all my neighbors are
buying automobiles, I can always get a scat
on the street car." Just before leaving the
store, a new song, just off the press, was drawn
to my attention. The title was "I Don't Care
A-DAM If I Do." The chorus ran like this:
"When Adam in bliss asked Eve for a kiss,
she puckered her lips with a coo. With looks
quite ecstatic, she answered emphatic, 'I don't
care, A D A M , if I do."
Galveston, Texas
Galveston, frequently called "The Treasure
Island of America," is only a short ride on the
Interurban line from Houston, right on the
Gulf of Mexico, "where the balmy breezes blow
and the palms sway to and fro." Galveston
boasts of the Hotel Galvez as the best in the
world. Come to Galveston and see for your-
self.
Thomas Goggan & Bro. operate a successful
branch in this city, ably managed by A. R.
Davis. The musical instrument department, as
well as sheet music, is directed by L. Simon,
who is very well known in the industry.
The Hearst Music Publishers, Ltd., were rep-
resented by their traveling sales manager, C. F.
J'arrish. He is just winding up a trip through
the Middle West and Southwest. He reports
business good. He sure did have a stack of
orders that he was sending in to the Chicago
office. He stated the best sellers are: "Bring-
ing Home the Bacon" and "Tallahassee." Their
new numbers are—"Broken Dreams," "In A
Wonderful World Of Our Own," and "Bobbed
Hair."

New Romberg Musical Adaptation of Mansfield
Success a Hit—Witmark Publishing the Score
The initial performance of the new musical
play, "In Heidelberg," recently took place at
Atlantic City. The piece scored a success and
its forthcoming appearance on Broadway is be-
ing looked forward to with uncommon interest.
"In Heidelberg" is an adaptation by Dorothy
Donnelly of the famous Richard Mansfield dra-
matic success, "Alt Heidelberg." It lends itself
splendidly to a presentation with music, and hap-
pily in this case a composer was selected who was
admirably equipped to give just the right color-
ing and atmosphere to the music. Sigmund
Romberg's score, in fact, is a delightful stream
of flowing melody and effective vocal writing.
There are half a dozen numbers, each of which
belongs in the hit class. Altogether, the score
of "In Heidelberg" recalls the past delights
to be found in Mr. Romberg's previous suc-
cesses, "Maytime," "Blossom Time" and "The
-Blue Paradise." Production and cast indicated
that nothing has been spared on the part of the
producers to make for the ultimate success that
was so emphatically achieved.
The music of "In Heidelberg" is published by
Harms, Inc., by arrangement with M. Witmark
& Sons.

Ponce Number Popular
"Oh, My, Yes" (Us Girls Must Have Our
Fun) is a singing and dancing success with
Jan Garber and His Orchestra now on tour.
This number is leading the sales in the Phil
Ponce Publications catalog, closely followed
by the other Ponce success, called "I Found
You Out When I Found You In" (Somebody
Else's Arms).

playing of the instrument overnight. The fore-

These instruction books are sold at a popular
