FBED EUSTACE.—"Boola" is the Hawaiian cry
of victory, and is also used to accent the. rhythm
of their dances. The Yale University "Boola"
song was first sung during the Yale-Harvard
football game at New Haven, Conn., in November,
1900, which resulted 28 to 0 in favor of Yale.
The students of Yale University had previously
compiled a chorus, called the "Yale Boola March-
ing Song," which was sung by over 20,000 people
at the game amid the wildest enthusiasm. It
was their paean of victory.

In the course of the entertainment provided
by the members of the houseboat party there are
rendered selections from "The Red Mill," includ-
ing "Every Day Is Ladies' Day with Me" and
"In Old New York." Mr. Herbert was much in-
censed when he learned that portions of his score
were in vaudeville. He at once summoned his
attorney to a conference, and the latter sent a
notice to the owners of the act, warning them
that further use of "The Red Mill" numbers
would result in a motion for an injunction, with
accompanying damages.

Gus Edwards is enthusiastic- over the success
of his new retail store in 125th street. "My
opening day's sale amounted to over $75," he
recently said to The Review, "numbers from
Victor Herbert's 'Mile. Modiste' and 'The Red
Mill' proving the star sellers." Mr. Edwards
says he has no intention of unduly pushing his
own publications. "If anyone asks for a certain
song," he said, "I have given instructions that
they must get it, and not something 'just as
good.' I am giving every publisher a fair show-
ing and if, as it happened, Messrs. Witmark
shared in my first day's success, it was due
solely to the excellence of and the demand for
their publications. Of course, my own things
sold in numbers, but then it must be remembered
that I have at least two established 'hits' and
a new song, 'I'm Waiting for the Summer Time
and You,' which looks as though it were going
to duplicate the success of 'School Days.' " Mr.
Edwards is to be cordially congratulated on the
impartial way he is conducting his new enter-
prise.
