THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
WHO WILL IMMORTALIZE NEW YORK IN MUSIC ?
Joseph Stransky, the new conductor of the Phil-
harmonic Symphony Orchestra of New York upon
his arrival from Europe recently, said upon land-
ing in New York: "The entrance to the Hudson
River is so magnificent I marvel that some com-
poser has not already made a symphony from its
inspiration." The clever artist of the New York
World, Herb Roth, indicates in the accompanying
cartoon the probable appearance of the river in

tl:c vicinity of the Battery were the prominent
composers and song writers to attempt to profit by
Mr. Stransky's suggestion. One thing is certain,

THE TUNE WASN'T^BEULAH LAND."
The Gazette of Emporia, Kans., Makes Proper
Amends for Reporter's Lack of Higher Mu-
sical Knowledge.
Recently, while the town was filled with the
pomp and magnificence of the Knights Templar
parade, a reporter for the Gazette said that the
Fredonia Band played "Beulah Land" in the pro-
cession. He also "indicated, or meant to indicate,
that "Beulah Land" was such a swift tune that it
string-halted some of the Knights to keep step
to it.
The matter came to the attention of the Re-
sponsible Editor of the Gazette after the paper
was out, when the damage was done. But magna
est veritas et prevalebit, which, being freely trans-
lated, reads, you can't keep a good man down.
Now, the truth is that the Fredonia Band did not
play "Beulah Land," but "Maryland, My Mary-
land." The Gazette will bet a bucket of ink
against a keg of soap that you can't think of the
two and tell them apart. Anyhow, the Gazette
reporter who wrote up the parade is no Beethoven,
and he isn't supposed to have a guilty knowledge
of martial music, and, being a preacher's son, any-
thing that sounds like "Beulah Land" is 1 "Beulah
Land," and "Beulah Land" she goes in the paper.
Hence the grief. The Gazette hastens to apolo-
gize for the bobble. In a small town like Em-
poria, the division of labor on a newspaper is
sometimes crude. The gentlemanly and urbane
reporter who covers the boilerworks at the round-
house often is asked to do the musical criticism,
and the youth who rides the 'buses to the train
Witmark Production Successes
for personals in his day's work sometimes has
to round up the nobility in their marble halls
with "vassals and serfs" by their sides. The re-
porter who confused "lieulah Land" with "My
.Maryland," and thereby insulted a sovereign city
and its good people, usually devotes himself to
baseball, sales-day items, and city hall matters.
He knows just two tunes. One is " ; ail, Hail, the
Gang's All Here," and the other isn't. But he
often branches off into speculative theories and
these get him into trouble. Witness the Fredonia
riot.
The Gazette trusts the explanation is sufficient.
The Fredonia Band is a good band. It played an
entirely proper tune in the parade, and if the
Knights from the slow towns of Kansas can't keep
the pace Fredonia sets—so much the worse for
the Knights. And now, having crawled till its
vest buttons are all ripped off, the Gazette desires
to rise and take off its hat to Fredonia, the best
town of its size in Kansas, and to the Fredonia
Band—an organization that will lead the chorus
when the morning stars sing together.—Emporia
Gazette.
At the New York Hippodrome on Sunday af-
ternoon, November" 19, was given the second con-
cert by the Greater New York Letter Carriers'
Band, under the leadership of Frank E. Houts.
Four Witmark numbers—a cornet solo, entitled
"The Door of Hope" (Ernest R. Ball), rendered
by Mr. M. E. Wood; a medley overture, "Sur-
prise" (O'Hare), and two songs sung by John J.
Nestor, as follows: "In the Garden of My Heart"
(Roma-Ball) and "Driving Home the Cows from
Pasture" (Armstrong and Clark)—scored encores.
