TMEREVIEWflEARS
THAT none of the various and sundry evils in the
music publishing trade will ever be reduced or
eliminated through discussion or condemnation.
THAT it has been lack of cohesion between pub-
lishers with identical interests that has permitted
the evils to exist and grow, and it will only be
through co-operation that matters may be remedied.
THI.\T the man who will tell most of the publish-
ers just why business is not better at this time will
certainly profit through the information.
THAT there are a couple of catalogs for sale in
the trade, though negotiations regarding their
transfer are being carried on in a somewhat sur-
reptitious manner.
THAT there is a brand new member in the
linn of Jerome & Schwartz in the person of Will-
iam Jerome, Jr., who discovered America this week.
THAT Ted Barron, general manager of the Je-
rome & Schwartz Publishing Co., returned this
week from a very successful trip through the West.
THAT the Edgar Selden Music Publishing and
Production Co. publishes Laddie Cliff's new song
success, "Au Revoir, Mr. Moore," and will have
other numbers to announce shortly.
THAT it is pretty nearly time for the publication
of another national anthem to take the place of
those that have worn so well.
THAT Carnegie should devote the $25,000 set
aside annually as a pension for ex-Presidents, and
which will probably be refused by those for whom
i 1 was intended, to a pension fund for retired music
dealers and publishers.
TH,AT the latest duel is said to have taken the
form of a piano contest between two composers,
each playing his own compositions.
THAT a great plugging system could be devised
if such duels became the habit. Think of the
sign, "Special arrangement of our songs in pro-
fessional form for duelists."
THAT a contest in pushing ballads to success
has been started between the New York and Chi-
cago offices of Chas. K. Harris.
THAT with a separate ballad for each city the
results should be worth watching.
THAT "The Million," in which production is
sung Caruso's ballad, "Dreams of Long Ago"
(Feist), is at present in Chicago for a run.

FOLLOWING ^ A D V E R T I S I N G .
How the Music Dealer Should Take Advantage
of the Publicity Given Songs by the Player-
Piano Rolls and Talking Machine Records.
The live music dealer will not overlook the de-
mand that arises through the reproduction of pop-
ular songs and production numbers through the
medium of music rolls for player-pianos or records
for talking machines and will seek to familiarize
himself with the contents of the monthly lists of
new rolls and records sent out by the manufac-
turers and carry a stock of the numbers mentioned
and then feature them. -One publisher at least has
had the foresight to acquaint as many dealers as
possible with the fact that certain of his publica-
tions are reproduced in talking machine records
and gives the name of the record, its number and
the name of the manufacturer.* The hearing of a
'popular song through the medium of the talking
machine has frequently aroused a desire on the
part of the listener to secure that song in sheet
music form for the piano, and it is the live music
dealer who is prepared to supply that demand.
As a matter of fact the talking machine companies
give the names of the publishers of the" music in
their bulletins for the information of the public
and the dealer.
The late Lina Ramann, who wrote a life of Liszt
in several volumes, with the approval and aid of
the great comroser himself, kept a diary in which
she jotted down her personal experiences with him
and Hans von Biilow and other eminent musicians.
The material for her memories is to be printed
under the title of "Lisztiana." The book will con-
tain a number of unpublished letters from Liszt.
