THAT the moving picture proprietors are mak-

THAT Bob Albright, the "freak" singer with
two voices, now appearing in this city, "finishes"
in his own tones with the Harry Von Tilzer song,
"My Southern Rose," the melody of the refrain
being responsible for its undiminished popular-
ity.
MARSHALL GOES TO ATLANTIC CITY.
Henry I. Marshall, who succeeded Raymond A.
Browne as Shapiro's confidential representative
at that publisher's New York office, will have
charge of the Shapiro music stores at Atlantic
City this summer. Mr. Marshall will leave to-
morrow for the summer resort, where one of the
Shapiro stores is already open at 1029 Boardwalk.
The second store will be opened about June 15.
Mr. Marshall had charge of the Remick music
store at Atlantic City one summer, and, having
also been in charge of the Shapiro store in Pitts-
burg, he is regarded as an expert at the work.
Tom Quigley, of the Shapiro offices in Chicago,
conducted the Atlantic City store last summer,
but will remain in Chicago this year.

company Krieger Bund to Europe—Will
Start Next Wednesday.
E. T. Paull, head of the E. T. Paull Music Co.,
whose title is that of major, and who is in com-
mand of the Eastern department of the patriotic
military organization known as The Minute Men,
has received a special invitation from Col. Rich-
ard Mueller, commander of the Deutscher Krieger
Bund, to act as guard of honor with a detail of
the Kaiser has some surprises in store for the
visitors. At that time there will be huge re-
ceptions, special military displays by the Berlin
garrisons and many public banquets.
Col. Richard Mueller, of New York, president
of the Krieger Bund, of the United States, was
a member of the staff of Gen. Von Moltke in the
Franco-Prussian war.
Some of the occasions the Americans will par-
ticipate in will be the birthday celebration of the
King of Saxony; the general roll call hefore the
commanding marshal of the German armies.
Ouservance of July 4 under the auspices of the
American ambassador at Berlin, and functions

and banquets in all the larger cities. A visit to
the mausoleums of Bismark at Friedrichsruh

the Prince Regent of Bavaria, in Munich.
BIG DEAL IN MUSIC STORES OFF.
Plan Contemplating Combination of the Rem-
ick and Shapiro "Song Shops" Abandoned—
Explains Rumors of Merger of the Two
Firme.
There came near being- a Remick-Shapiro com-
bine after all, but the deal that would have
caused the music publishing world to open its
eyes widely has fallen through. As The Review
stated last Saturday, however, there was no possi-
bility of a merger of the two big publishing
houses. Since then reports of a combination have
persisted, and we are now able to state the cause
thereof. The deal that was considered was one
which contemplated the combination of the Rem-
ick and Shapiro music stores and departments
under one management. There was never any
question of a merger of the firms since Messrs.
Remick and Shapiro separated a few years ago.
The music stores deal was carried along for a
while recently, but was dropped. It can be stated
that it came so near being consummated that it
missed completion by only a narrow margin.
HINDS, NOBLE & ELDREDGE NOTES.
The "Most Popular" series of music books,
published by Hinds, Noble & Eldredge, is made
the subject of some interesting notes by that
firm, the following extracts being self-explana
tory:
"The Most Popular Home Songs" contains 135
old familiar songs. Every one of the old fa
vorites that are so dear to the music-loving
people of America will be found in 4;his book.
One of the features of "The Most Popular Na-
tional Songs" not found in similar collections is
the national songs of the nations in both the
original text and the English translation. "The
Most Popular College Songs" contains the alma
mater songs of all the principal universities in
the United States.
"The Most Popular Hymns" contains the cream
of all the other collections and many new hymns
that are not contained in any other form. You
ought to see "The Most Popular Piano Instruc-
tor."
It's a modern up-to-date method that
lightens the teacher's work and makes studying
a real pleasure for the pupil. "The Most Popu-
lar Songs from The Most Popular Operas" is
worth many times its cost. It contains the 24
best arias from the standard operas, all simply
arranged for medium voice by Paolo Gallico.
Every one of the 27 world-famous compositions
contained in "The Most Popular Violin Pieces"
is arranged in the first position. The piano ac-
companiment is correspondingly easy. There is
"The Most Popular Piano Duets," 19 piano class-
ics especially arranged by George Rosey fez
four hands, easy enough for the mediocre player,
beautiful enough for the artist.

which will make a special visit through the
German Empire, and will be guests of that na-
tion in general and of the Kaiser in particular.
Tne Krieger Bund is an association similar to
the American G. A. R. Its members are veter
ans who fought for the Fatherland in the
Franco-Prussian war. Major Paull and the offi-
cers composing the guard of honor will wear
the regular George Washington Continental uni-
form of the American Revolution, and they will
be guests of honor at a review of the German
army, which will be under the persona] direc-
tion of the Emperor. The visitors will be re-
ceived at the courts of the various provinces of
the German Empire. The members of the
Krieger Bund, to the number of about 200, will
embark on May 11 on the Hamburg American
liner Pennsylvania, and will land at Hamburg,
where the first greetings will be given.
