REVIEW
by Ernie Erdman, and Mr. Stauffer is now in full
charge of the firm bearing his name. During the
brief period of this company they have placed in
the music world some very good song hits, among
which are "Oceana Roll," which was sold to Jerome
H. Remick & Co.
IF YOU SEE IT IN
THE "CLIPPER"--IT'S SO!
MREVIEWflEARS
THAT business generally shows improvement, but
that collections do not follow the example.
THAT Chauncey Olcott in "Macushla" is now-
appearing at the Grand Opera House for the third
week and with undiminished success.
THAT Witmark & Sons report a strong demand
for the music of the production both from local
and out of town dealers.
THAT Chas. K. Harris was recently consulted
by a reporter for the Evening Mail as an authority
to decide the real status of the Missouri "Houn'
Dawg Song."
THAT he took advantage of the opportunity to
give the reporter some real dope on the ballad
question.
THAT Edgar Selden will soon be in a position
to announce a definite location for his new music
publishing and producing business.
THAT, incidentally, he has two vaudeville acts
working at the present time.
THAT Cesare Nesi, "the Bowery Caruso," recent-
ly discovered by Percy Williams, the vaudeville
manager, and brought to Broadway, is using Feist's
"Italian Serenade."
THAT Lillian Russell is featuring ''When You're
Away" and "The Island of Roses and Love," two
Remick numbers, in the great Weber and Fields
jubilee at the Broadway Theater.
Please read it!
It was noticed that at the principal
New York theatres, last week, "Brass
Band Ephraham Jones" was one of the
predominating numbers. This song is
likely to become as big a seller as "Alex-
ander's Brass Band," although it is of a
different character entirely, and should
be welcomed by all using that class of
song.

POPE RULES ON^HURCH MUSIC.
Makes Gregorian Chant Compulsory and Bars
Women from All Choirs Except Those in
Female Communities—Other Rules.
IRU MTU MUDDLE!!!)
The Vatican has issued an order from the Pope
to the effect that all religious institutions in Rome
must comply with the motu proprio of 1903 in re-
gard to the reform of church music. The Pope
rules that the Gregorian chant must in future be
adopted at all sacred services and must be ac-
companied exclusively by an organ. Any other in-
strument is forbidden.
Part singing is abolished and women are not
allowed to sing except as a part of the congrega-
tion. Hence they are excluded from choirs, with
the exception of those of female religious communi-
ties where nuns and schoolgirls are allowed to sing,
provded the music is the pure Gregorian chant.
All choirmasters and organists are required to
pass an examination which must be held by a
special commission on sacred music, and without
fts certificate they cannot possibly be employed at
sacred functions. The rules at present only affect
some, dioceses, but it is the Pope's intention gradu-
ally to extend them to all dioceses in Italy and
abroad.

Another After The Ball Hit.

NEW HENRY VON TILZER NUMBERS.
The " M o s t Popular
Songs for the Guitar"
contains about 125 of the
old familiar songs—Plan-
tation, Patriotic, Senti-
mental, Humorous, and
Sacred—songs that every-
body knows and every-
body loves. They are
arranged with an easy
guitar accompaniment that
even the mediocre players
can carry. Price. 75 cents.
The Harry Von Tilzer Music Pub. Co. is fea-
turing with great success a clever new ballad num-
ber entitled "That Precious Little Thing Called
Love," and a new novelty number used by Eddie
Leonard in his vaudeville act and written especially
for him. The latter song is called "Roly Poly
Eyes," and is of a style that is well fitted to Mr.
Leonard's manner of putting a song over with
proper effect. It is stated that "Oh, Mr. Dream
Man," is developing in a manner that indicates
that it will prove one of the hits of the season.
NEW TRAVELER MAKES GOOD.
Lew Jones, the new Eastern traveler for
Jerome H. Remick & Co., returned recently from
his first trip for that house through Pennsylvania
and succeeded in securing a volume of orders that
proved thoroughly satisfying to the head of the
sales department of the company. Mr. Jones will
cover practically all of the Eastern states in the
interests of the Remick prints.
