HARRIS PUSHING TREBUHS MUSIC
Loses no Time in Applying His Methods to

Although only ten days have passed since
Chas. K. Harris took over all the interests of
the Trebuhs Publishing Co., the catalog of the
latter firm has already been pushed in various
cities of the country by the peculiar and ener-
getic Harris methods. That firm's Chicago
manager, Joe Harris, reports to headquarters
that the Trebuhs catalog is favorably re-
garded already by the music dealers in that
city, and only needed proper exploitation to be
widely sold. Not only are the present successful
musical productions, as published by the Trebuhs
Co. under the exclusive control ol Chas. K.
Harris, but the copyright and publishing rights
of all musical productions which the Trebuhs
Co. would have published itself for years to
come will be owned by Mr. Harris. The recent
deal thus looms large, when there is taken into
consideration the facilities which the Trebuhs
Co. had for securing productions to publish, and
which are now transferred to the Harris estab-
lishment. The Trebuhs interests include the
publication of sixteen new musical productions
within the next two or three years. The deal
means that while Harris gets another fine cata-
log, the Shuberts, in effect, have secured one
of the very best practical music men to be had.
A mistaken impression that has spread to
some extent in the trade is that the Trebuhs
Publishing Cp. have gone out of business. They
will be as active as heretofore, however, but the
activity will be as that of a branch of the busi-
ness of Chas. K. Harris.
Mr. Harris is now
fully established as among the largest pub-

lishers of production music in the country. He
and the Shuberts are practically partners in thp
music publishing business, and the Harris firm
will publish all the Shubert productions except
such as are already otherwise disposed of by
contract. Eventually, of course, the present con-
tracts with other publishers will expire, and Mr.
Harris will then have the clear field that would
have been left to the Trebuhs. This department
of the business will be managed by Edward
Laska, the rrebuhs general manager, who will
act for both Harris and anil Shubfrts.
Among the publications of the Trebuhs Co. to
date are: "The Mimic World," "Sahara Belle."
etc., from "Nearly a Hero"; songs in "The Gay
White Way"; "Mile. Mischief," "Mr. Hamlet of
Broadway," "The Girl and the Wizard," and
Lulu Glaser's new piece, "One of the Boys." The
Trebuhs catalog also includes songs sung by Lew
Dockstader's minstrels and "The Midnight Whirl"
and "My Sist' Tetrazin'," from "The Midnight
Sons." It is a coincidence that Mr. Harris, who
published the music for "The Midnight Sons,"
has now secured the two musical successes
which were interpolated in that production.
The writers of the Trebuhs catalog include more
than a score of successful men. Among them
are Julian Edwards. Edward Madden, Edgar
Smith, Harry H. Smith, Robert B. Smith, Ben M.
Jerome, Lou. A. Hirsch, Melville J. Gideon,
Sydney Rosenfeld, C. M. Ziehrer, Ned Wayburn,
Anotal Friedland, E. Ray Goetz, Edgar Leslie,
Malvin M. Franklin, Jerome D. Kern, Harold
Orlob, Kenneth Clark, and George Byrd Dough-
erty. A complete list of the publications will
l:e found advertised in this section.
Edward Laska will occupy the present Tre-
buhs offices at 1416 Broadway as representative
ol that firm's interests until Chas. K. Harris
moves into his new quarters in the Columbia
Theater building next month. He will then
share the new uptown offices. Aside from his
work as manager of the Trebuhs Co., of which
he was also the organizer, Mr. Laska is remem-
bered for several successful compositions, al-
though he retired as a composer several, years
ago. Among his successes were "I Would Like
to Marry You," "How'd You Like to Spoon with
Me?" and "Sweet Little Caraboo."

Raymond A. Browne, who lecently resigned
as Shapiro's confidential representative, to join
forces with the Music House of Laemmle, tells
The Review that he made the change in order
to enjoy the wider scope for his personal efforts
which was offered in the newer music publishing
firm, established about a year ago. Mr. Browne
believed that the move to a position in which
he would combine business and song writing,
although on a smaller staff, would be a wise
one. His departure from Shapiro was with the
best mutual understanding. His desk at that
establishment has been taken by Henry W. Mar-
shall, formerly manager of the Shapiro music
store in Pittsburg. Mr. Browne has been at the
