THE. MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
SOL BLOOM'S PACIFIC COAST OFFICE.
Sol Bloom, speaking to The Review, said: "The
territory west of the Mississippi is a fertile field
for the sale of sheet music, but it has been very
generally overlooked by the publishers of popu-
lar songs, and only a few—very few—have had
the acumen to establish branch houses on the
sunset side of the country. The realization of
possibilities in this section of our geography,
however, were not lost on our house, which has
maintained a branch office in San Francisco for
the past eight years, where, under the skilful,
faithful and energetic care of Lee Hechheimer,
our prints have become widely known profes-
sionally, and popular sellers with the trade. The
increase in these demands, in fact, has several
times obligated the enlargement of the office,
and an addition of employes to handle the pros-
perous and rapid growth of the business, and
at last we have been forced to secure permanent-
ly ample quarters in the shape of a new build-
ing, located at 14 McAllister street. Here, as
before, Mr. Hechheimer will be at the helm, and
professionals will be as carefully cared for as if
they were at the home office. As for the trade, a
complete stock of the Sol Bloom issues will be
kept, and Western dealers can save time and
trouble by ordering from the 'Frisco office."
'THE ROSE OF THE ALHAMBRA" HEARD.
The premiere performance of "The Rose of the
Alhambra," a musical comedy featuring the well-
known prima donna, Mme. Lillian Blauvelt, was
given at Rochester, N. Y., Wednesday evening,
before a large and critical audience. The book
and lyrics are by Charles Emerson Cook, the
music by Lucius Hosmer. The comic opera was
kindly received, and a number of the songs heart-
ily encored, bespeaking a substantial success.
"The Rose of the Alhambra" will be on tour two
weeks, then going to the Grand Opera House,
Chicago, for an indefinite run. It has been
booked for Wallack's in New York. The vocal
score and separate numbers are published by
