Ditson Publications
Recently Announced
Piano Compositions by French and Spanish
Composers and Folksong Books Included
in the List.
The Oliver Ditson Co. has just brought out
two new publications under the titles, "Eight
Piano Pieces by French Composers" and
"Eight Piano Pieces by Spanish Composers."
These compilations consist of the works of emi-
nent composers, the titles of which, however,
have a flavor of popularity and for this reason
interest should be increased.
Alma Gluck and Paul Reimers are responsible
for two other new Oliver Ditson publications.
Both are entitled "Folksongs and Other Duets."
One is issued for two high voices and the other

REVIEW
one is issued for high and medium voices. The
contents are particularly adapted to the voices
which they aim to serve. They include songs
that are more than a little known and, in some
instances, have attained unusual popularity.
They are all publications of the highest stand-
ard and are worthy additions to almost any
type of program. Both publications carry bio-
graphical sketches of the compilers, whose his-
tory shows achievements of two remarkable
artists.

Life Work of the
Late Theodore Presser
Founded Presser Home for Retired Music
Teachers and the Widely Known Presser
Foundation
The recent death of Theodore Presser, re-
ported in another section of this paper last
week, marks the passing of a great figure in the
music publishing field. He was teacher, editor,
author and publisher and founder of several
organizations. In 1914 he erected and endowed
the Presser Home for Retired Music Teachers.
He founded the Music Teachers' National As-
sociation in 1876 and was one of the founders
and early honorary presidents of the Philadel-
phia Music Teachers' Association. The Presser
Foundation was created by him in 1916. Mr.
Presser built up a remarkable music business,
all of which was founded on direct sales to
music teachers. His company is now an insti-
tution, and the catalog and business, which un-
doubtedly will be handled by a board of trus-
tees, will doubtless continue to be one of the
most important music publishing businesses of
the country.
"Sleepy Time Gal" Is
the Flapper's Swan Song
Popularity of Number Indication of Reaction
Against That Type—Other Songs Give Fur-
ther Evidence of Change
Is there a reaction against the so-called flap-
per type of young girl?
Song writers, who are uncanny in their judg-
ment of public sentiment, have seemed to sense
it, and that the public has welcomed it is cer-
tainly proved in the success of "Sleepy Time
Gal," a recent Feist publication.
This song was written and started in Detroit,
and is actually the best seller in that city and
is rapidly spreading. Toledo, Cincinnati, In-
dianapolis, Cleveland, Buffalo, and now Chicago
all report a big demand for it.
The lyric construction of the song is a plea

for the return of the simpler pleasures of life,
and is best expressed in a line or two from the
chorus, which reads:
"When all your dancing is through,
I'll find a cottage for you,
You'll learn to cook and sew,
What's more you'll love it, I know,
When you're a stay-at-home, play-at-home,
Eight o'clock, Sleepy Time Gal."
Right on top of that, Feist is about to publish
what has been called the most powerful indict-
ment against the fast, loose-living habits of the
younger generation. It is a ballad called "Too
Many Parties—Too Many Pals." Accompanying
it is a recitation that has held audiences spell-
bound with its dramatic intensity.
Another song recently heard throughout New
England, and believed to be published by a
small publisher in Boston, treats of the same
subject in a slightly different manner. This
song is called "All That She Is Is An Old-
fashioned Girl," and it, too, in a smaller way,
has met with instant popular favor. From the
evidence, it looks as if the song-writing psychol-
ogists have anticipated public opinion and are
losing no time in taking advantage of it.
