VON TILZEB, SONGS IN BURLESQUE.
THE REVIEW AEARS
This week could almost be called "Harry Von
Tilzer week," at the Columbia Theater, for by
far the greater number of the feature numbers
were by that popular composer and publications
of the Harry Von Tilzer Music Publishing Co.
Among the songs that attracted the most atten-
tion were "That Kazatsky Dance," "Oh! Mr.
Dream Man" and "The Ragtime Goblin Man."
Although the songs mentioned were only intro-
duced a short time ago they are already in a
fair way to be classed among the season's hits.

"The Carnival King," have seemingly lost none
of their popularity while Paull marches that have
been on the market for years retain a youthful
vigor that is most satisfying and which is attested
to by the order book. A new Paull will, as usual,
make its appearance in the Spring.

Another Slap at Popular Music—And It Comes
from Terre Haute.
"So called 'popular music' and compositions
with sentimental titles are the two classes of
music to be rigidly prohibited from the home,"
said Ludolph Arens, director of the Conservatory
of Music of Terre Haute, Ind., in a paper be-
fore the Musical Art Society in that city recently.
Continuing, Mr. Arens said:
"The 'popular music' is what the dime novel
is to literature. Look at its gaudy, indecent title
page. That betrays it. The other kind, such as
'The Last Sigh,' 'The Last Consolation of the Last
Prayer,' 'The Sleeping Princess,' 'The Dying
Poet,' and 'The Weeping' Orphan,' is sickening.
Everything that sleeps or dies or dreams is in-
cluded."
Who wrote the '"Raindrop" prelude, with its pro-
cession of dead monks, or "The Erl-King," with
the story of the child killed by his touch? Who
wrote those cheerful little things? We inquire to
know.

Dr. Peters's Congregation Tells Soloist to "Go

The large pipe organ in the Pilgrim Church,
One Hundred and Twenty-first street and Madison
avenue, played to ragtime Monday night at the
first weekly free public concert. It caused not a
little discussion among the members of the con-
gregation, some maintaining that a church was
a place of worship only and should not be used
for amusement purposes.
When Amelia Somerville said she did not think
she ought to sing the "Ragtime Violin," the audi-
ence showed their appreciation of Dr. Madison
C. Peter's efforts by telling her to "Go ahead."
