With the approaching session of Congress interest
in the copyright bill is again to the front.. The
publishers are a unit in its support, but all not
in the same way. For example, one of the vet-
eran publishers in the highest grade of music, in
speaking of the measure to The Review, said:

CARL FISCHER EXPANSION.
Secures Adjoining Property, 10 and 12 Fourth
Avenue, and Will Erect 12 Story Structure
With Modern Equipment.
Recently Carl Fischer, the well-known pub-
lisher and importer, wholesaler and retailer of
muscical merchandise, acquired the adjoining
property, 10 and 12, to their present location,
G and 8 Fourth avenue, New York, and in the
course of the next year or so will erect a twelve-
story building which they will occupy. The
structure will be substantial and handsome, with
modern equipment
throughout. Walter S.
Fischer, in speaking of the contemplated build-
ing, said to The Review: "Yes, we have just,
bought 10 and 12 Fourth avenue, next our
present place, which is 0 and 8, and will put up
a twelve-story modern building, possibly within
the next year or two. W T e need the room, to be
sure, but, while the building is going on we will
not be inconvenienced in the least."

Bryant and Sayville are using "The Good Old
U. S. A." and "Arrah-Wanna" from the F. B.
Haviland Publishing Co. and report great suc-
cess.
Few songs have caught on, so to speak, like
"Arrah-Wanna," the new novelty song by Dris-
lane and Morse. The proof is that such artists
as James Francis Dooley, John F. Clark, Olym-
pian Octette, Frank Mullane, the Rays, Lewis
and Green and Tom Gillen are using it with great
success. Bert Fitzgibbon is at Pastor's; so is
Johnnie Clark. One sings "Arrah-Wanna," the

itself so persistently that Mr. Reed could but
harken to its call, and consequently song after
song has been, given to the public. His musical
talent is natural and inherent, coming as he does
from a thoroughly musical family, his father,
Dave Reed, being noted in his day in minstrels.
. Mr. Reed is a man of much versatility, and has
won success along more than one line. Besides
writing songs he is widely known as a singer, and
also as a composer of sketches, songs and ensem-
ble music used by the "Reed Birds" in their act.
These performers have long been the delight of
amusement seekers everywhere, the members
composing the company being Dave Reed, Jr., his
mother and his sisters. As manager of this
company he displays a sagacity and a practical
business ability not usually found in a profes-
sional man. The demand for this company as
entertainers in the vaudeville world is abundant
proof of their success and renown.
In writing a song it sometimes happens, Mr.
Reed states, that a melody floating through his
mind in an unrefined way suggestes the words, in
which instance he composes words and music
together. Out of the large number of his songs
which have scored and made hits are "The
Hoeneybees's Honeymoon," "Lucy Linda Lady;"
"Cupid Is the Captain of the Army," the latest
march song, "Listen to the Big Brass Band," and
that delightful song so full of heart sentiment,
"Love Me and the World is Mine."
