THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
Eugene Ellsworth; "The Music Master," waltz
(in "The Music Master"), by William Furst.
W. Harry Keyser, a music publisher, and Mrs.
Florence E. Fretz were married December 1st,
at the home of the bride's daughter, at 221
Berkeley street, Philadelphia. The ceremony
was performed by the Rev. Charles R. Brdman.
The bride's only attendant was her daughter,
Mrs. Bessie Scholtz, while Mr. Keyser's best man
was his nephew, Dr. Harry Keyser Carey. The
wedding was attended by the relatives of both
families, and also by many friends. Mr. Keyser
belongs to seven lodges, and each of these was
represented. After the ceremony there was a
reception.
With the overshadowing success of Albert von
Tilzer's "Teasing," other publishers, following
the practice when "Hiawatha" swept everything
before it in popular favor, are putting forth
songs in the same vein and sentiment. A half
dozen have already made their appearance, and
for the time Indian characteristics, etc., are neg-
lected.

number of melodious and original novelties of

his forthcoming production of "The Smiling

A bright and catchy coon song, "Georgia," is
being issued by Sol. Bloom, and among half a
dozen first-class acts who are already featuring
the song, may be mentioned the "champagne

of Hanlon Bros.' production of "Superba" have
been credited to Miss Belle Gold. One is "The
Squirrel and the Chipmunk," with a refrain that
rivals even that which made "The Honeysuckle
and the Bee" so famous, and the other is
"Gretchen," a lilting Dutch song.

but at the service of the patrons is a matron and
every convenience.
