THE
lications offered by Sol. Bloom, the well-known
progressive publisher of New York City, and the
inquiries for nis issues are a marked feature of
his business. Although Mr. Bloom would not.
divulge any details, it is known that several
large contracts with well known managers are
under way and likely to be quite a surprise to
the musical and theatrical world.
The catalogue of the Theatrical Music Supply
Co. is growing apace, and Manager Helmick is
strongly of the opinion that a number of win-
ners are in the following list: "Does This Train
Go to Heaven," by Lewiston N. Isaacs; "Trixie
From Dixie," by Arthur M. Cohn; "Your Mother"
and "To the Country of the Dear Old Berkshire
Hills," by J. T. Rider; "For Old Virginia's Sake"
and "In Summer Time Down by the Sea."
Cobb and Edwards, authors of "Good-Bye, Lit-
tle Girl, Good-Bye" and numerous other song
hits, have just placed with their publisher, M.
Witmark & Sons, four new numbers of varied
style, but all of that popular quality which these
successful "songsmiths" seem to have gauged so
accurately. "The Girl Who Cares For Me," an-
other of their songs, is also proving a big seller.
"Dennel," "What the Brass Band Played" and
"My Faithful Rose"—a few of the latest bearing
the imprint of the F. B. Haviland Fublishing Co.,
have been selected for use in the phonograph.
Walter G. Harris, Kilmarnock, Scotland, has
favored The Review with hi.s excellent "Church
Choir Book of Offertory Sentences," comprising
forty-four original settings by various composers.
Other foreign publications in receipt are "The
Office of the Holy Communion," issued by Novello
& Co., London, Eng., and an interesting order
blank from Rob. Forberg, Leipsic, Germany.
Miss Marion Littlefield, the American con-
tralto, who opened her season in vaudeville at
the Haymarket Theatre, Chicago, October 3, will
make a tour of the western cities, going as far
west as San Francisco. Miss Littlefield will sing
three of Oliver Ditson & Co.'s publications this
season, "The Message of the Shamrock," by Les-
lie C. Stevenson; "Somewhere," uy Thomas Cur-
tis Clark, and "It is Fate, Dear,"' by Frederic E.
White.

REVIEW
drawn forth some very eulogistic letters from
those particularly interested in these perform-
ances. For instance Geo. Middlcton recently
wrote Mr. Proctor a very warm letter compli-
menting him upon the presentation of "The Cava-
liers," in which Edwin Arden, the new leading
man, who is steadily increasing his hold on the
public, appeared.
It is gratifying to note that the Proctor enter-
prises are receiving generous support. Indeed it
would be a reflection on the common sense of the
public if they failed to appreciate such sterling
values as are being offered these days at Proctors.
JULIAN EDWARDS' ABILITY
Splendidly Demonstrated in the Schumann-
Heink Opera, "Love's Lottery."
The apex of Julian Edwards' musical achieve-
ment seems to have been reached in the score
of the new Schumann-Heink opera "Love's Lot-
tery," which has made an immense success at
the Broadway Theatre. Leading dealers charac-
terize it as the best light opera New York has
heard since "Robin Hood," and Mr. Edwards' mu-
sic is praised as "brilliant and melodious." Mr.
Edwards' versatility as a composer is illustrated
in the widely varying latitude of his work, which
has compassed not only ballads, and songs in
lighter vein, but charming and colorful inciden-
exclusively in this production. In their new
vaudeville sketch they are singing three of their
songs, "Gimme the Leavings," "Pretty Little
Squaw From Utah" and "Fishing" with great
success.
