Will Be Ready for the Trade Early Next
Month—J. T. Mearns in New England—At-
tractive New Catalog for Salesmen's Use.
J. X Mearns, traveler for the music department
of Hinds, Noble & Eldredge, publishers of "The
Most Popular" folios, left this week on a four
weeks' trip through New England, and the first re-
port from him received at headquarters included
orders that promised well for the general success
of the trip. The new "Most Popular Selections
from Grand Opera for Violin and Piano" and "The
Most Popular Mandolin Opera Folio" will be ready
for delivery to the trade early in the coming month.
For the convenience of salesmen handling "The
Most Popular" books, Hinds, Noble & Eldredge
have just had prepared a handsome loose-leaf cata-
log with separate pages devoted to the books in
the series, both the covers and tables of contents
being reproduced. All the pages are linen backed
to insure wearing qualities. The cover of the cata-
log is of leather attractively stamped in gold. The
loose leaf idea permits of adding descriptive mat-
ter regarding new books without making it neces-
sarv'to issue an entire new catalog.
CLAIMS BRITISH ARE BIASED.
Evidence reaching us every
day that we picked a "ripe"
one when we selected
"YOUR DADDY DID THE SAME
THING FIFTY YEARS AGO"
as the song likely to be a
hit. We can now truly say
that it is a " H I T " .
Latest reports from EDDIE
MORTON at the Bronx and
Bushwick Theatres say that
he has created the most
phenomenal success of his
career with the rendition of
"YOUR DADDY DID THE SAME

William Boosey Says That Too Much Self-
conceit Is Responsible for the Damning of
American Productions by British Critics.
William Boosey, head of the famous music pub-
lishing.house of Chappell & Co., Ltd., is out in a
protest against the British damning American plays.
He fells his fellow Britishers that they are not so
far ahead of the rest of the world dramatically
and musically^as they believe themselves to be. Tn
a recent interview he said:
"The criticisms meted out to George Ade's bril-
liant comedy "The College Widow" made one blush
for the denseness of one's countrymen. 'The Con-
cert' was another remarkable play that met with
little better treatment.' I only quote these two
American plays at random to illustrate how unjust
and discourteous we are to practically any play
hailing from America.
"It is not the fault of the critics that 'The Pink
Lady' is the big hit that it has proved to be. Tt
came from America and therefore it also had to
b<: dismissed by the press with cheap sneers; and
the ridiculous thing is that the English public,
if given a fair chance, does not care a rap whether
a play comes from Paris, Vienna or America so
long as they are amused."
But, according to Mr. Boosey, there is a far
more important side to the persistent ill treatment
of American plays in England. America is an
enormous field for the English theatrical out-
put. America always receives English players and
English plays, when they are good, in a generous
spirit. Suppose, he asks, Americans one day re-
taliate? Who will blame them? He reminds the
English that the business alone demands cour-
tesy, but there is no reason why they should forfeit
their good manners.
What Mr. Boosey says about the English public
not caring whence a play comes, so long as they
arc amused, has been proved in the case of "The
Fink Lady," which in the face of the efforts of the
critics to kill it, is the most popular production in
London.

. Owing to delays on the part of the printer,
E T. Paull announces that his new march "Ring
Out, Wild Bells" will not be ready for the trade
until early in the coming month. The new march
is decidedly original in conception, and the most
interesting features are the bell effects that are
inserted at proper points in the composition. The
new march contains some clever and pleasing
movements without presenting great difficulties for
, the pianist.

This collection of 29
pieces for Violin, is re-
garded by violin teachers
and students, as being
universally
popular.
While it is an admirable
solo collection for any
violinist, it has been
made specially inviting to
those whose musical at-
tainments are moderate
by the fact that the violin
part is written entirely in
the first position. The
entire collection is care-
fully bowed and fingered.
