THE MUSIC TRRDE
THE STORY OF •• JENNY LEE "
We have all heard that popular song,
"Jennie Lee," by Arthur Lamb and Harry
Von Tilzer, which is published by Shapiro,
Bernstein & Von Tilzcr. It is now published
as a short story by the firm, and it makes a
most artistic booklet, prettily gotten up and
illustrated. Through the courtesy of the pub-
lishers, we are able to give this story in
these pages, but as it is too long for one is-
sue, we give it in short chapters. Here is
the first:
"The Story of Jennie Lee,"
by Arthur J. Lamb.
Jennie, sweet Jennie Lee, and it is really
you, my little sweetheart of ten years ago;
for it is ten long years since I last held your
hand in mine, and kissed redder roses on
your pretty cheeks. And you really are with
me again, Jennie Lee! The last time I saw
you, you were smiling and now you are cry-
ing ; don't cry, dearie. Time has brought
you plenty of sorrows, T know, and the roses
on your cheeks faded away long since, but
you should not cry, dear, though perhaps
your tears are tears of joy.
You don't see me crying, Jennie. Ah. no!
the wound your absence made in my heart
was too deep for surface emotions, but now
you are with me again, that wound seems
to me the sweetest blessing of my life. Come,
let us wander in the dear little dell, where
we often gathered flowers in the lightheart-
edness of our youth. The flowers are just
the same, the song of the birds is just as
sweet, the little brook is murmuring the same
sweet story, and, unchanged amid these sur-
soundings is my unchanged love for you,
REVIEW
sweet Jennie Lee. For, closing my eyes, the
ten years fade away and we are young, hap-
py lovers. 1 have kissed you good-night for
the hundredth time, and walking homeward
down the moonlit lane, my heart is filled with
such joy that 1 look up at the star-crowned
dome and feel that heaven cannot hold great-
er happiness.
(To be continued.)
ANSTEAD MOVES AGAIN.
They say that a rolling stone gathers no
moss. We hope it will not apply to W. H.
Anstead, who is now at 51 West Twenty-
eighth street, being his second move since
starting in this business something over a
year ago. We should be glad to see Mr.
Anstead make a success of this business.
And perhaps this new move will bring him
more success than he has met with in the
past. He has a good catalogue and is essen-
tially a business man himself.
RELATIVE TO PROCTORS.
General Manager J. Austin Fynes, of F.
F. Proctor's Enterprises, announces that
there will be no change in Manager Proctor's
amusement plans during the current year.
"The policy of presenting high class stock
comedies and dramas," says Mr. Fynes, "in-
terpreted by evenly balanced and competent
companies and with interpolated vaudeville
stars, will be continued at Mr.' Proctor's
Fifth avenue, Fifty-eighth street, One hun-
dred and twenty-fifth street and at his Al-
bany and Montreal theatres.

THE HARRY VON TILZER CO.
Raymond A. ,l»rown has joined the office
staff of Harry Yon Tilzer in a business and
writing capacity. He is a good man in the
right place.
The Carter-J)e Haven Trio are to be at
Keith's Theatre next week, and they will sing
exclusively " i n the Mansion of Aching
Hearts," "Loo Loo, Oo, Loo Loo'' and "My
Jiamboo Queen."
Mr. Von Tilzer will have several songs in-
terpolated in "The Chinese Honeymoon,"
which is shortly to be produced in this coun-
try, and speaking of production songs, the
following numbers will be in Geo. W. Led-
erer's new musical comedy "The Wild Rose."
"As the Train Rolled On," waltz song by
Vincent P. llryan and Yon Tilzer; "Oh, the
Girls, the Lovely Girls," by Harry Von Til-
zer; "Meet Me 'When the Sun Goes Down,"
by Bryan and the same composer; "On
Emancipation Day," by Will Marion Cook,
and "My Little Gypsy Maid," by Harry B.
Smith and Will Marion Cook.
Harry Von Tilzer left town for Chicago on
Thursday, but will be back again about the
middle of the week. Business is certainly
booming with him all the time.

ARTHUR LAMB & CO.,
3 4 Clark Str*ev.
have justified the wisdom of the present
plan far beyond Mr. Proctor's anticipations.
The coming months will witness the produc-
tion of many of the latest Broadway suc-
cesses. Mr. Proctor's Twenty-third street
theatre will still continue to give 'straight
vaudeville' in continuous performance at low
prices, as will his newly opened Newark
theatre.
"The past year has been an eventful one
in low-priced theatricals, but out of all the
turmoil Mr. Proctor's enterprises have
emerged unscathed. lie has added to the
number of his theatres; has enjoyed a phe-
nomenally prosperous season; is contemplat-
ing a further extension of his circuit; is in-
dependent of any alliance with any other
circuit, syndicate or association, and the
books show that his various theatres during
the past year have played to no fewer than
4,000,000 people—a pretty fair proportion of
the American population."
