the property, but when it was learned that Mr.
Howley desired to acquire the effects with the
intention of going into business again, they gave
him th6 right of way and never made an offer.
The feeling in the trade is extremely friendly,
and Mr. Howley has been the recipient of quite a
few courtesies at the hands of other publishing
houses who have expressed their good wishes
and intentions in a practical way that has been
greatly appreciated.
On St. Valentine's day Fred Belcher, manager
of the New York house of Jerome H. Remick &
Co., will be united in marriage to Miss Henri-
etta Blanke, a writer on the staff of the Detroit
headquarters for several years, several of her in-
strumentals achieving no mean fame. Following
the wedding the happy couple will visit the lead-
ing eastern cities, though Mr. Belcher insists the
trip is taken in the ordinary course of business
and is not to be a honeymoon jaunt at all. Be
this as it may, in retiring from the ranks of
bachelordom Mr. Belcher is to be felicitated in
winning so charming a bride. During his ab-
sence Mr. Remick will come east, after looking
over the field in St. Louis, Kansas City and Chi-
cago, and take charge.
Thos. B. Harms is currently reported in the
"street" as no longer connected in an executive
capacity with the T. B. Harms Co. He is still a
stockholder, of course, but is not consulted anent
the policy of the company, of which he was the
founder. Harms is fond of relating tales of the
publishing days of old, but is said to have little
sympathy with the present hustling method of
carrying on the business.
MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
Heart Beats All For You" and "A Little Boy
Called 'Taps'." Thurland Chattaway has a new
sacred song, entitled "Outside the Heavenly
Gates." The Theodore Morse Trio open a t
Keith's, New York, February 27th, and will pre-
sent an entirely new act, and incidently sing
some new songs—"Longing For You" and "Good-
Bye Sis."
The popular minstrel tenor, Richard Jose, has
made quite a record for himself as a good judge
of songs, by taking one of George Kosey's senti-
mental love songs, entitled "Too Late," and mak-
ing it an immense success, even although it has
been published two years. One of the curious
points in connection with this is the fact that
the publishers, Jos. W. Stern & Co., were fully
aware of the song's merit when they published
it. But although they made quite some effort
with it, no one of the prominent vocalists seemed
to take a fancy to it, until Mr. Jose heard it only
a few months ago, and immediately singled it
out as a promising hit for him. So it turned out,
and Mr. Jose's good judgment is a matter of
comment in minstrel circles.
ROBYN'S INSPIRATION.
How He Came to Write, " I t Was Not Like That
in the Olden Days."
Sometimes the story of how a popular air came
to be written is almost as interesting as the
song itself, says the New York Sun. Take the
case of "It Was Not Like That in the Olden
Days." As originally written, it was not in the
seore of "The Yankee Consul" at all. But at the
first rehearsals in Boston Mr. Savage complained
The following news notes were picked UD a t that he did not believe that there was one air in
the F. B. Haviland Publishing Co. this week: the piece that would make an individual hit.
Byron & Foster, the original "Gold Dust Twins,"
Alfred Rqbyn, the composer, left the theatre
with the "High Rollers" company, are featuring sick a t heart that day and telephoned down to
Drislane's and Morse's big march hit, "What, the some friends at Nantucket that he was coming
Brass Band Played," and it's going great. Flos- down to spend the night. The three-year-old son
sie Allen has put on Drislane's and Morse's new of his hostess happened to say that Mr. Robyn,
child song, "Longing For You," and it certainly who has
great reputation among his friends
looks like a winner. Eddie Leonard, with Prim- as an improviser, was coining. "He's the man
rose's Minstrels, is singing "Lyna" and "Oh! Oh! who can make the piano talk for you!" she re-
Sallie, I'l Love Love You Till I Die." Words by marked to the child, whereupon the youngster
Frantzen and Rogers and music by Eddie Leon- promptly refused to go to bed. Try as his
ard. Henry Frantzen has a new march called mother might, the kid stubbornly refused.
"College Life," and it is already in great demand.
As soon as Mr. Robyn arrived the child said:
As usual. Theodore Morse is there with some
"Can
you make our piano say 'papa' and 'mam-
new hits—"Good-Bye Sis," "Can't You See My
ma'?" The composer sat down, and having heard
of the situation from the mother, promptly im-

His hostess, struck by the melody, said at once,
"Well, if that's one of your 'Yankee Consul'
melodies it's going to make a hit. It's got such
a wonderful swing to it." "Do you think so?"
said Robyn promptly, jotting the note down on
his cuff. And that's how his song was started.
And Blossom promptly wrote some words to fit
his melody, and the first copy of the song that
ever came off the presses was sent with Mr.
Robyn's compliments to the three-year-old kid.

One of the most successful acts shown on the
Proctor circuit this season is said to be that of
"Stuart, the male Patti," whose rendition of
various songs, and lavish display of costumes,
was great. The feature of his act, was the song
novelty, "Love in a Phonograph," by Raymond A.
Browne and William H. Penn.
"Carissima," by Arthur A. Penn, and which is
considered to be a high-class concert waltz, has
been added to the standard repertoire of the best
singing artists. New additions to this list are
Nanon Jacques, Winifred Florence, Eugenie Tes-
sier, Sabel Johnson, Madeline Burdette and Miss
Maude Williams, of the "Sultan of Sulu" com-
pany. In this connection, Mr. Penn is very proud
of an autograph letter from Henry W. Savage, as
follows: "Dear Mr. Penn:—It may interest you
to know that Will C. Ellsler, manager of "Sultan
of Sulu" company, wires me from Portland. Ore.,
that the new song "Carissima," is a great im-
provement over the old number, and he will do
it in place of the latter, from now on.—Henry W.
Savage."
Both songs are published by Sol. Bloom.
STERN & CO.'S NEWS BUDGET.
The opening of Thomas & Dundy's new music
hall, the "Colonial," was the occasion of the pre-
sentation of a new musical comedietta entitled
"The Athletic Girl," in which George V. Hobart
and Jean Schwartz have collaborated. Two songs
in particular, "I Guess I'm Getting Seasick" and
"There's Only One Little Old New York," were
received with marked demonstrations of favor.
Both songs scored heavily for the singer.
Stern & Co. have about ready the musical num-
bers from "Mamma's Papa," a new musical com-
edy in which Joseph Hart and Carrie de Mar,
scored a signal success, under the management
of Wm. A. Brady, at the Casino Theatre in Phila-
delphia, February 4th. The book has been
adapted from a well-known German farce by
Joseph Hart, and the music is by A. Baldwin
Sloane, the composer of "Lady Teazle," Lillian
Russell's latest success. Sloane's songs are said
to be perfect gems.
The "House of Hits" announce that they have
in press the musical numbers of "Round Chi-
cago," a new big musical extravaganza, which
Wm. A. Brady is to produce on a gigantic scale
at McVicker's Theatre, Chicago. The book is the
work of Frederick Ranken, and the musical num-
bers by A. Baldwin Sloane.
The rehearsals will commence shortly of
"Elysia," a new opera, written by Frederick
Ranken and Reginald De Koven for De Wolf
Hopper. Wm. A. Brady and the Schubert Bros.
will manage the production jointly and the new
music will open for a long run at the new Gar-
rick Theatre, Chicago. In a recent interview
Mr. Ranken told Jos. W. Stern & Co., who will
publish the score and musical numbers, that he
considers the "Elysia" music will be the finest
Mr. De Koven has ever written.
"Smiling Island" is George E. Lederer's great-
est musical comedy production in several years,
the truth of which is evidenced by the fact that
it has just enjoyed a run of over 100 nights in
Philadelphia, and goes direct to Hyde & Beh-
man's new theatre in Chicago for a long run.
The two biggest, song hits in the production are
"Strolling," by Hobart and Hiller, and "My Little
Lambkin," a clever song by a Princeton student,
Kennith S. Clarke, who, by the way, bids fair
to become a leading musical comedy composer.
