SINGING TWO KREMER WINNERS.
(Special to The Review.)
Chicago, 111., July 27, 1907.
Rocco Rocco, a Chicago boy, who is looming up
large in the vaudeville field of late, is making a
big hit at the Majestic Theater with "Moonbeams
and Dreams of You" and "Under the Tropical
Moon," two of the most notable recent successes
of the Victor Kremer Co.
LEO MOONEY NOW PROPRIETOR.
Leo Mooney, prominent in Brooklyn politics,
and who for several months past has been inter-
ested in the management of the Publishers' Dis-
tributing Co., of that city, has purchased the
interests of L. C. Callum, in that business, and
is now sole proprietor. The company was es-
tablished about a year ago to do a jobbing busi-
ness and has grown to healthy proportions, es-
specially under the management of Mr. Mooney,
who has had many years' experience in the sheet
music trade.
A BIG SHEET MUSIC ORDER.
William Rohlfing's Sons, Milwaukee, Wis., re-
cently filled one of the largest sheet music orders
on record, furnishing all the music to be used by
the hundreds of singing societies participating
in the National Sangerfest, to be held in La
Crosse, Wis., in 1908. The music has already
been delivered and is being distributed among
the various societies.
"THE MOTOR GIRL "
F. A. MILLS FALLS HEIR TO FORTUNE.
Is the Title of Julian Edwards' New Opera
to be Published by M. Witmark & Sons.
F. A. Mills, the prominent music publisher and
president of the recently formed American Music
Stores Co., has recently fallen heir to a large
share in the estate of his uncle, a Western man,
which is valued at $600,000. Mr. Mills' sister is
the only one beside himself to share in the es-
tate.
Julian Edwards always has the satisfaction of
seeing his work instantly popular—each new
opera, cantata or song making good from the
start. The incentive for future effort that this
produces can be readily appreciated, and as Mr.
Edwards is thoroughly in love with his work he
therefore imbues it with his own personality, put-
