A CLEVER SCHEME.
There was much trouble in Twenty-eighth
street on Monday, and also a good deal of
amusement. Mr. Bert Morphy, who has re-
cently become the professional manager of
the E. T. Paull Music Co., was trying over
a few songs. Anyone who has heard Mr.
Morphy singing in the Madison Square Gar-
den, where he has quite drowned a full
brass band, can imagine what he would sound
like in a small, "quiet street" street, such as
"Publishers' Row." As it was, the people
on the trolley cars on Broadway turned their
heads to catch the melodious sounds, and
it delayed some of the elevated trains on
Sixth avenue, and the publishers—well, we
won't mention what they said. Sufficient to
say, there was a considerable crowd outside
of 46 West Twenty-eighth street, and pro-
fessional people poured into the offices of the
E. T. Paull Music Co. to obtain these songs
which had so strenuously been brought to
their notice. Hert Morphy kept this up for
about an hour, and afterwards one could al-
most hear the proverbial pin drop, such was
the stillness. It was the best advertising
scheme worked for some time. This is only
one -of the many ways that Mr. Morphy is
showing his usefulness to E. T. Paull.
HILL & SPAULDING, PERHAPS.
It is more than likely that George L.
Spaulding will enter the music publishing
business again in the near future. He left
New York en Tuesday evening for Chi-
cago, where he will confer with H. A. Hill,
late of Hill, Horwitz & Bowers, who has
been managing his business alone since the
dissolution of that firm. Should these gen-
tlemen come to satisfactory arrangements,
Mr. Spaulding will assume the management
of Mr. Hill's business. George L. Spauld-
ing has not had the best of luck of late
years. At the time he was in partnership
with W. B. Gray, they possessed one of
the best popular music publishing firms in
America. No man knows more about this
business than Mr. Spaulding, and with his
experience combined with Mr. Hill's busi-
ness ability, this proposed partnership should
be of much mutual benefit.
A GOOD TEAM.
The success of Bowman and Johns' coon
song, "Go 'Way Back and Sit Down" has
been phenomenal. It has been universally
taken up by all the prominent performers
in this line of business. Ernest Hogan has
found it to be one of the best songs he has
ever used. Johnson and Dean, Grant and
Grant, Artie Hall, and a number of others
are using it regularly. The latest team to
appreciate this fact are Inman and Walker,
two young ladies who are very popular in
the profession. They grace the columns of
this week's Review, and will doubtless be
recognized by many of our readers as "that
clever team they saw the other day."
THE JOHN CHURCH CO.
A representative of The Review had a
pleasant chat with William Maxwell of the
New York branch of the John Church Co.
the other day. Among other things he said
was that "The Invincible Eagle" had proved
a large seller, and was steadily increasing its
popularity. Among the successful new pub-
lications are "The Stars of Night are Thine,"
by D. J. Donahoe and Frederic Vinal; a
new number of the wild-flower series by M.
H. Cochrane entitled "Daisy Waltz" ; an ar-
rangement of a beautiful old Irish ballad by
C. Milligan Fox, "My Love Nell," which has
been sung a great deal, and with much suc-
cess by David Bispham; two new songs
from the pen of C. Chaminade, " 'Twas an
April Day" and "Colette." The latteT is a
beautiful song with words from the French
by P. Barbier, translated by R. H. Elkin.
