Richmond Corp. Buys
the E. T. Paull Catalog
REVIEW
remain as a separate entity and a new corpora-
tion to be known as the E. T. Paull Music Co.,
Inc., will operate that branch of the business.
Among the numbers in the Paull catalog
which have achieved international recognition
are "The Burning of Rome," "Napoleon's Last
Charge," "The Chariot Race" and "The Mid-
night Fire Alarm."
Miss Caroline Frank, who was associated with
E. T. Paull for many years, will continue to
manage much of the business activities for the
new owner.
It is appropriate to remark that Mr. Rich-
mond, whose company has purchased the E. T.
Paull business, was also one of the first pur-
chasers of Mr. Paull's publications when he
originally presented them to the public from
his former home in Richmond, Va. At that
time Mr. Richmond made a special trip to Rich-
mond, Va., for A. H. Goetting, who at that time
operated a music distribution business. Mr.
Richmond was long a friend of the Paull family
and it was to him the early overtures of the
sale of the business were made.
It will also be news to many members of the
trade to know that the late E. T. Paull had
over a hundred standard numbers arranged by
prominent composers in print, but which were
never introduced. He also had published a
series of music books of valuable character
which undoubtedly will be shortly offered to
music lovers.

Miller Publishing Go.
Changes Its Name
Now Known as Miller Music Publishing Co.—
Two New Numbers Which Are Being Fea-
tured
The Miller Publishing Co.. of 124 South
Loomis street, Chicago, 111., has changed its
name to the Miller Music Publishing Co. It
will continue its business activities at the old
address.
This firm is represented in England by the
Herman Darewski Music Publishing Co. and in
Australia by J. Albert & Son. The company
has issued two numbers which are to be fea-
tured during the early months of 1925, namely,
"My Dixie Dream," a fox-trot, with lyrics by
Betty Baxter and music by Raymond J. Iden,
and "That Little Irish Sweetheart O' Mine,"
described as a solo, words and music by Clitus
M. Wickens. Both these songs are featured by
acts now playing the Orpheum circuit.
Ditson Indian Songs
The Oliver Ditson Co. is publishing five au-
thentic Navajo and Tewa Indian songs, the
lyrics of which are based upon the Indian text
by Elizabeth Willis DeHuff and the Indian mel-
odies transcribed and harmonized by Homer
Grunn. These appear in a folio under the title
"From Desert and Pueblo." It is illustrated
throughout and these, as well as the primitive
cover, are by Fred Kabotie, of the Hopi Tribe.
A "Cross Word" Number
A song not dedicated to cross-word puzzles,
but carrying the title "Cross Words," has been
issued by Breau & Tobias, the words of which
are by Charles Tobias and Edna Gladstone.
Breau & Tobias recently moved from 145 West
Forty-fifth street to the Hilton Building, 1595
Broadway, New York City. The company has
arranged a campaign of publicity on "Cross
Words" and it will be given both vaudeville and
radio exploitation.
Brown Increases Capital
Tom Brown Music Co., Chicago, 111., recently
increased its capitalization from $100,000 to
$150,000. This firm specializes in small musical
instruments and publications.
