THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
MREVIEWMEAR5
THAT following the return to popularity of such
old-time songs as "Silver Threads Among the
Gold," the talking machine manufacturers main-
tain that the "resurrection" is due to the general
distribution of the many records of such for-
gotten favorites of other days.
THAT for lack of any other really plausible ex-
planation, there is some food for thought in the
statement of the talking machine men.
THAT the sale of several thousand pianos dur-
ing the holiday season should stimulate the demand
for popular music to an appreciable degree.
THAT the success of the German Opera Co. on
Broadway in their handling of "The Waltz Dream"
in their native tongue, leads cue to wonder what
would happen if some of the questionable suc-
cesses among the other foreign operettas were
produced in Hungarian or German.
THAT Ted S. Barron, general manager for the
Jerome & Schwartz Publishing Co., remembere.l
his friends with a very attractive Christmas card
bearing, besides the text, an excellent counterfeit
presentment of himself.
THAT the exposure of the claque which produces
Century Edition
ARTISTIC!
PERFECT!
BEAUTIFUL!
applause for grand opera singers at so much per
performance suggests a new field of publicity for
popular publishers.
THAT $5 for the singer of a "Hit" and $45 for
a claque would probably produce greater results in
some cases than $50 paid to the singer alone.
THAT the full score of "The Wedding Trip"
(Remick & Co.) fills a volume of '2011 pages.
THAT it makes a big two dollars' worth for the
dealer to talk about.
THAT Meyer Cohen, manager for Chas. K.
Harris, returned last week from a prolonged stay
in Chicago and the West.
THAT Victor Herbert's American opera, "Na-
toma," has created a furore in Chicago where it
was produced for the first time recently.
THAT it is almost cruel of some people to
criticise certain popular music which is really based
upon one or more of their favorite classics.
THAT "The Rosary'' having been "ragged" we
may now look for a syncopated version of Han-
del's "Messiah," probably under another name.
SHANNON TO REMAIN IN DETROIT.
(Special to The Review.)
Detroit, Dec. 26, 1911.
J. R. Shannon, the Detroit song writer, who re-
signed the managership of Grinnell Bros.' publish-
ing department to take a like position with the
Forster house of Chicago, received such a hoist
in salary from his old firm that he decided to
stay in Detroit. He has personal interests here
which influenced the decision. Mr. Shannon was
the man who established Forster's song hit, "Gar-
land of Old-Fashioned Roses," in this territory,
and it was his clever work in that which drew
the Forster offer. Though remaining here, he
will continue to co-operate with the Forster in-
terests to a certain extent.

Will Von Tilzer in Personal Charge of All De-
partments of His House.
Will Von Tilzer, manager of the Harry Von
Tilzer Music Pub. Co., is the personification of real
action these days, for he looks after the running
of both the professional and sales depart-
ments of the business and when there is a short
lull in one department, which is a rare occurrence,
there is always plenty to be looked after in the
other. Several additions of note will be added to
the already numerous line of successful songs
published by the Von Tilzer house and they arc
expected to aid in starting the new year off in
the proper manner.
WAGNER'S COPYRIGHTS TO EXPIRE.
Protection Ends at Close of 1913, and Works
Will Be Open to All Publishers Free of
Royalty.
When the year 1913 merges into 1914, the copy-
right will expire on the works of Richard Wagner,
which means that any and every stage quite aside
from any competency in the matter, is free to pro-
duce the entire series of Wagnerian music dramas,
from Rienzi to Parsifal, without the necessity of
paying any royalties. And an equal right will pass
into the hands of the music publishers, who will
be at liberty to publish the works in any form
which seems most advisable.
EDWARDS, RYAN AND TIERNY,
who had a great deal to do
with starting "Honey Man"
on its road to unusual pop-
ularity, have taken up
"THAT ITALIAN SERENADE" and
introduced it for the first
time at the Bushwick
Theatre, Brooklyn.
In the vernacular of the
vaudevillian,—"believe me,
it made some hit"!
