THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
there is a good thing going round, everybody
wants it. "In the Cathedral" is likely to be
the sacred song hit of the twentieth cen-
tury. This sounds high praise, but it is none
the less true. W. H. An stead can well be
proud of A. B. Sloane's composition, "The
Intermission Waltzes." They are written
in Sloane's best vein, and that is all that is
necessary to say about them. "Taffy," an-
other of the Anstead publications, is one of
those songs that stick to you, and make you
want it. A lot of requests are coming in for
it. Boyd Gilmore considers that "Down in
the Depths" is the greatest bass song he has
ever sung. Write to W. H. Anstead, the
publisher of the above four numbers, and
get catalogue. Address, 33 West Twenty-
seventh street, New York.
waltzes, and "Battle of the Waves," "The
Matinee Girl," "Looney Coons" and "Lindy
Loo" marches. This firm will now publish
a number of songs and push out their busi-
ness in many ways. In the capable hands of
Mr. Fitz their affairs should prosper, for
he is an all-round clever man, of much mu-
sical and business ability.

attractive manner of rendering songs. Mr.

SUIT AGAINST JOSL PH FLANNER.
The reproduction of a familiar photo-
graph, entitled "Amen/' on the cover of
"The Choir Boy's Dream," has led to a suit
against Joseph Flanner, the well-known Mil-
waukee dealer and publisher, by Woodbury
E. Hunt, of New Haven, through the law
firm of Turner, Pease & Turner.
The suit is brought to perpetually enjoin
the defendants from printing the picture on
the cover of the music in question, while
damages are also asked, the plaintiff claiming
the sole property rights of "Amen," which,
he alleges, was used without warrant or
authority.
Joseph Flanner, in speaking of the suit,
said that if the law had been violated it was
done innocently on his part, as he had re-
ceived no intimation that he was not entitled
to use the picture. Around the time the
song was published, Mr. Flanner chanced
to see the photograph of Earl Gulick. He
wrote the latter's mother, asking permission
to use the photo on the title page of the song,
which she gladly permitted, Mr. Flanner
giving credit on the cut to the photographer.
Later, however, Gulick's picture was replaced
by a Chicago boy, named Manley, who is
singing the song.
"I have every reason to believe," said Mr.
Flanner to The Review, "that I have acted
honorably in this matter and shall certainly
defend my rights to the end."

W. H. ANSTEAD'S LATfcST.
"Monkey Shines," a characteristic south-
ern piece, is by W. H. Anstead, the well-
known music publisher and composer. Mr.
Anstead will now have two very strong in-
strumental numbers in his catalogue. "The
Intermission" waltzes, by A. Baldwin Sloane,
promise well, and this new piece by him-
self is good.
A. F. ADAMS RETURNS.
Avon F. Adams, of the John Church Co.,
has returned from Europe. He is at pres-
ent in Cincinnati, bi:t re will be in New
York early next week, which will be his
headquarters for the next two months.

Future scanning projects are planned by the International Arcade Museum Library (IAML).
