THE
FEIST'S NEW QUARTERS.
AlljCrowding to the new "Publishers' Row"—Feist
Will Have Attractive Quarters with good Neigh-
bors.
Leo Feist has bought the four-story and
basement brown stone front dwelling with
lot 21.6x98.9, No. 134 West Thirty-seventh
street, from James W. Henning, and after
remodeling the building extensively will oc-
cupy all of it for his music publishing busi-
ness. West Thirty-seventh street, near
Broadway, is evidently to be the successor
of West Twenty-eighth street as the home
of the music publishing business. The Amer-
ican Advance Music Co. started the migra-
tion when they secured extensive quarters
on the southwest corner of Broadway and
Thirty-seventh street. George L. Spaulding
has removed there from Twenty-eighth
street; M. Witmark & Sons are erecting a
large building on the south side of Thirty-
seventh street, just west of Broadway, which
they will take possession of in the spring,
when it is completed. Mr. Feist will soon
leave Twenty-eighth street for his new place
of business and at least two other publish-
ers of sheet music are looking for business
locations in this new "publishers' row."
THE HIT OF TWO CONTINENTS.
In the latest London papers much space
is devoted to a description of another Drury
Lane triumph, "Mother Goose."
From various accounts, the daintiest gem
with the daintiest setting in the pantomime
was the song "The Witch Behind the Moon,"
sung with all-captivating effect by the well-
known Miss Madge Lessing.
The scene itself is inspiring, and the beau-
tiful song casts a lingering spell over the lis-
teners.
It is safe to predict that "The Witch Be-
hind the Moon" will completely carry off
the affections of all who hear it, and attain
an international reputation.
It has been reserved in this country for
"The Wizard of Oz," the stupendous produc-
tion by Baum & Tietjens, which opened the
new Majestic Theatre, New York, last
Thursday. This song, which is being sung
in the "Wizard of Oz" by Miss Anna Laugh-
lin, is the joint work of Louis Weslyn and
Charles Albert. M. Witmark & Sons are the
publishers.
"THE MOCKING BIRD" FLIES AWAY.
, Is it a fact that pretty Mabelle Gilman and
her company are to sail for Merrie England
and La belle France via Havana ?
Be this as it may, it is positive certainty
"Sally" were respectfully placed in the hands
of Junie McCree and Jeanette Lowrie.
Margaret Marston continues the part of
"Virginia Marigold" with credit to herself
and is enhancing the success of "Under the
Bamboo Tree," and her tuneful duet with
Henry Fairleigh entitled "When I Am
Yours, Dear."
The grand finale, "Come and Take a Stroll
with Me," is the piece de resistance of the
production and sends the audience home hap-
pily humming the well-known Englander
theme.
The company is wending its way westward

that Miss Gilman has eminently qualified as
star and that "The Mocking Bird," by Syd-

proven an undoubted revelation among re-

It is further to be hoped that the comic
opera will shortly return to delight those
who have, as well as those who have not heard
it, bringing with it newly won laurels from
abroad.
