MARRIAGE OF DR. F. H. COWEN.
In spite of the popularity of Dr. F. H. Cowen's
compositions in Ihis country, but little has been
heard of his marriage to Miss Frederiea Richard-
son, which recently took place a t Marylebone,
London. Mr. and Mrs. Zangwill, who arrived in
America on Saturday last, and Edward German,
the distinguished composer of "Paul Jones," were
among the guests, which comprised most of the
leading members of the musical and dramatic
profession. Among Dr. Cowen's best-known com-
positions may be mentioned "The Promise of
Life" and the standard setting to Felicia Homan's
poem, "The Better Land."
NEW MUSIC FOR REVIEW.
We have received from M. Witmark & Sons for
review a dainty little number written in Bert
Fitzgibbon's happiest, vein (music by George
Christie), entitled "You Can't Stop Your Heart
from Beating for the Girl You Love." In spite
of the somewhat long title, the lyric is daintily
turned and the music is far and away above the
average. Best of all, it contains a clean heart
interest which is welcome. Whether or not the
public will take kindly to this song is a matter
for the future to determine, but it is certainly
pretty enough and dainty enough to establish a
selling record for itself.
We have also been asked to review a song en-
titled "Cupid and the Moon," words by Adele G.
Ward, music by Sue Barlow. (Published by S.
Barlow, Hudson, N. Y.) The title page is dis-
tinctly pretty.
