and decorated, and when finished, will add greatly
to the beauties of their quarters. Once a year
they generally stop work for a few days for re-
pairs, but this year the allotted time was cut in
half owing to the tremendous amount of business
which the White-Smith Co. have on hand.
Among the new White-Smith publications are
three volumes of "Graded Progressive Technics
for the Violin," by Pavel L. Bytovetzki. These
retail for $1 per volume, with a good big slice of
profit for the trade.
Banks M. Davison, manager of publications,
left Saturday for Hyannis, where he will get back
to nature for two weeks. Hyannis is on Cape Cod,
and is where the few street lights go out at nine
o'clock, and where there are no trolley cars—a
fine place for a music publisher to rest.
"Valse Valeska" is a valse de ballet for the
pianoforte, by W. H. Chase, that is making quite
a hit with the trade. It is published by Chas.
W. Thompson & Co., and because of its quick sell-
ing features to the better class of music lovers,
the regular wholesale price prevails.
The Music House of Thompson—Charlie
Thompson—is widely esteemed by the trade in this
territory, particularly in the retail department.
Their retail business is of large proportions, and
a music teacher or school about this section who
hasn't heard of Thompson, must have just passed
"quarantine," and still in the harbor.

"The most attractive of the
songs proved to be 'I'm Ready to Quit and be
Good,' 'Quaker Talk,' and 'Girl of My Dreams.'"
Nesbitt and Otto Hauerbach—Music by Karl
Hoschna—Witmarks Publish It.
"The Girl of My Dreams," that daintily pretty
musical comedy, the book of which is by Wilbur
D. Nesbitt and Otto Hauerbach, with music by
Karl Hoschna, which met with a cordial recep-
tion at its metropolitan premiere at the Criterion
Theater, Monday evening, August 7, with Leila
Mclntyre and John Hyams as the stars in the
leading roles, gained some excellent notices from
the critics.
In a long article, the Morning Telegraph said:
"Messrs. Wilbur D. Nesbitt and Otto Hauerbach,
authors of the book, have done well. The dialogue
is crisp in spots, generally bright, invariably lead-
ing into a song with merit in its idea of lyrics.
The "Doctor Tinkle Tinker" song, telling of the
old chap that mends children's toys, brought forth
several bewildering devices to inspire further re-
calls. 'Bachelor Days,' 'I'm Ready to Quit and
be Good,' 'Quaker Talk,' 'What's Sauce for the
Gander is Sauce for the Goose,' 'Dear Little Game
of Guessing,' and 'Oh,' were others to please im-
mensely."
The Herald said: "Karl Hoschna has not for-
gotten the trick of turning out harmony; 'Doctor
Tinkle Tinker/ a toy song, sung in the daintiest
way by Miss Mclntyre, received eight or nine
encores, and was staged in splendid fashion.
'Belles of the. Tally-Ho Boarding School,' 'I'm
Ready to Quit and Be Good,' sung by Mr. Hyams,
seemed to find favor with the audience also."
The New York Tribune: " 'The Girl of My
Dreams,' by Wilbur D. Nesbitt, Otto Hauerbach
and Karl Hoschna, ushered the former vaudevillians
into the charmed circle of musical comedy, and
did it tunefully and gracefully, according to the

the popular Remick & Co. songs, including "On

Mobile Bay" and "Let's Make Love Among the
Roses," by Miss Gertrude Van Deihse. Besides
the many times the numbers mentioned are pro-
grammed there are frequent requests for them,
and as a result Miss Van Deinse's popularity as
a vocalist lias been placed on a firm foundation.
It might be mentioned that Mr. Slafer, with his
willingness to play selections upon request, has
proven one of the liveliest boosters the local pub-
lishers have run across in some time.
