fully edited and competently arranged. We have
no hesitation whatever in recommending this ex-
cellent volume to the trade.
The advantage of having the words printed
with the medleys is clearly apparent, and this
idea alone is one which certainly will appeal to
a vast number of folio buyers. The binding is
strongly reinforced and the cover in green and
black is unobtrusive and artistic. Famous Med-
leys of Famous Songs; arranged by Wesley
Hampton. Published by the Most Famous Pub-
lishing Co., 24 East 21st street, New York. Price,
50 cents.
T H E MAN OX THE STREET.
"The Lily of Bermuda" is the title of a musical
play which the Vaudeville Enterprise Syndicate
will produce at the end of the year in London.
The piece is in three acts, lyrics by George Isen-
thal and Leo Mansfield and music by Mark
Strong.
Maurice Shapiro will branch out next season
in the publication of several new comic operas,
the names of which he will announce later in
the year.
THAT the end man of a well-known minstrel
troupe, who imagined it was a comic song, was
grievously disappointed.
THAT Meyer Cohen is wondering if "I'm Starv-
ing for One Sight of You" (Chas. K. Harris)
should have been dedicated to the army of graft-
ers who are hungering after "professional"
copies.
THAT a new musical paper called "The Cres-
cendo" is shortly to be published in Boston. It
will be devoted to the interests of string instru-
ments and will be published once a month for
the present.
THAT B. F. Wood, of the B. F. Wood Music Co.,
of Boston, arrived in New York last week en
the Mauretania. He started immediately for
Boston.
THAT M. Witmark & Sons have secured the pub-
lishing rights of "Prince Humbug," a new musi-
cal comedy by Mark Swan and Carl Hoschna.
It is not dedicated to Helie de Sagan.
THAT the Great Eastern Music Publishing Co.
have recently placed a new ballad on the mar-
ket by that clever little woman, Mignon Ziegfeld,
entitled "I'd Turn the World for You, My Love."
THAT as the world is said to be turning
pretty rapidly as it is, we can only console our-
selves with the reflection that "Every Little Bit
Helps."
THAT Walter Jacobs, of Boston, has a new
waltz entitled "Fair Confidantes," which is said
to be very good.

in theory (Mr. Finkelstein having devoted some
twenty years of thought and study to its com-
pletion), some really interesting studies and
etudes are given with correct and practical finger-
ing. The major and minor scales are also treated
in a thorough manner. The printing and gen-
eral "get-up" of the volume is excellent and will
commend itself both to students and performers

'FAMOUS MEDLEY OF FAMOUS SONGS."
We have received for review "Famous Medleys
of Famous Songs," arranged for the piano by
Wesley Hampton and published by the Most
Famous Publishing Co. This volume contains
64 well-printed pages of medleys of famous songs,
which are not only well chosen, but which have
the added merit of linking both words and music
in their arrangement. The medleys include
Patriotic songs, College, ditties, Echoes of the
Opera Favorite French songs, Homestead melo-
dies, Love songs of olden days, Songs of Ger-
many, and Irish melodies,, all of which are care-
