The remaining quarter of the music business
to Miss Carolyn C. Frank, of 460 Halsey street,
Brooklyn, "for the long, faithful and efficient
service she has rendered in helping to build up
the business at a reduced salary practically
from the start of the same."
The gross value of the estate left by Mr.
Paull amounted to $34,249.05, including $19,589
"from sale of the music business."
According to an affidavit attached to the ap-
praisal, the music publishing business was sold
to the Richmond Music Supply Corp., of 119
Fifth avenue, Manhattan, for $25,000.
In the schedules of the appraiser's report
the $7,500 payment due in 1926 is valued at
$7,050, and the 1927 payment due at $6,600,
making a total of $23,650—the $10,000 payment
now, and the valuation payments yet due of
$7,050 and $6,600. From the $23,650, as set out
in the report, are outstanding debts of $4,060.14,
which, when deducted from the $23,650, places
the figure at $19,589.86.
Mr. Paull died at the age of sixty-five.
Among his compositions, in which he consider-
ed second to John Philip Sousa, are "The Burn-
ing of Rome," "Napoleon's Last Charge," "The
Fire Patrol" and "America Forever." Of his
more recent numbers, "Spirit of the U. S. A." is
gaining in popularity and very good sales are
reported.

Edward T. Paull Leaves
Method for Tenor Banjo
Net Estate of $28,000
Well-known Music Publisher and Composer
Leaves Bulk of Estate to Widow and Daugh-
ter and Remembers Faithful Employe
Chicago Publisher Enthusiastic Regarding the
Possibilities of That Instrument From Both
the Musical and the Sales Standpoint
Edward T. Paull, composer and proprietor of
the E. T. Paull Music Co., left a net estate of
$28,156.62 when he died on November 26, 1924,
it was disclosed last week in Brooklyn through
the filing of a transfer tax State appraisal.
Under his will, executed on December 24,
1919, he directed this to be divided as follows:
Gertrude A. Paull, widow, and Edna Paull
Vinson, daughter, both of 83 Eighty-sixth
street, Brooklyn, equally the residue, and equal-
ly three-quarters' interest in the music busi-
ness.
Arling Schaeffer, Chicago, author and pub-
lisher of the "Elite" method for guitar, man-
dolin, banjo and harp, has just published a new
tenor banjo method which treats of solo play-
ing on the tenor banjo, as well as harmony and
other features of the instrument. The success
of the new method appears to be assured in-
asmuch as one large music house alone has pur-
chased 2,000 copies.
Mr. Schaeffer is enthusiastic regarding the
possibilities of the tenor banjo, both from a
musical and sales standpoint, and states that
it is receiving new recognition as a solo instru
ment in addition to being simply a part of a
band or orchestra. The fact that good tenot
banjo; retail at from $75 to $200 or $300, he
declares, makes it profitable for the dealer to
push them.
The new tenor banjo method is most com-
plete in every particular and beginning with
the elementary carries the student right
through to the more difficult playing feats.
Various illustrated charts and diagrams are in-
cluded in the seventy-four-page volume for the
guidance of the new player.

Record of "Footloose"
Released by Victor Go.
New Sam Fox Number to Be Exploited
Throughout the Country in Conjunction With
the Serial Story of That Name Now Running
in Newspapers
The Victor Talking Machine Co. released on
August 14, the record No. 19720, bearing on
one side the Sam Fox Publishing Co. number,
"Footloose," which is being exploited in con-
nection with the serial story under that name
at present appearing in newspapers throughout
the country. It is believed that the music of
"Footloose" will duplicate the great success
that attended the song: "The Flapper Wife,"
which was offered some time ago in connection
with the serial of that name. The Victor record
presents "Footloose" in fox-trot form as played
by Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra, with
vocal refrain by Billy Murray. Special posters
have been prepared for window and store dis-
play to tie up the record with the story during
the campaign.

Simowski With M. Steinert
NKW HAVEN, CONN., August 17.—Fred Simow-
ski, who resigned from the local store of M.
Steinert & Sons Co. last year after being con-
nected with that house for the past twenty-
four years, is once more on the job, again in
charge of the sheet music and musical instru-
ment departments. Fred, as most of the boys
who know him call him, needs no introduction
of course, for he is well seasoned in the in-
dustry. Those who know the inside facts say
that he turned farmer somewhere in northern
Connecticut during his hegira from the music
trade, but that he found it harder to raise
chickens than to raise cash so he's back in
music again.
H. J. Tandler, composer-pianist and music
editor for W. A. Quincke & Co., music pub-
lishers of Los Angeles, Cal., is enjoying a well-
earned vacation journey to Europe, returning
about middle of September.
