Boston, Mass., July 27, 1912.
This is, of course, a dull period among the music
publishers, as most of them are perfecting plans
for the fall and winter season. No one makes any
especial attempt to put out any new music, and the
offices run short handed owing to the vacation sea-
son, which means that employes are coming from
and going, on their vacations during the months of
July and August.
Ditson Ambassadors Capturing Orders.
The Oliver Ditson Co. has been having a first-
rate business considering the season, which makes
it evident to the house that there is a large trade
to be met later in the season, when the real ac-
tivity everywhere begins. Clarence A. Woodman
is busy preparing a new catalog for the fall;
George W. Fufness, of the traveling staff, already
is away on a trip in the Far West which is full of
promise, and Mr. Desmond is starting off the first
of August for the Middle West. A recent visitor
to the Ditson house was George W. Jennings, of
Cincinnati, O.
Bonci Singing Cadman's Songs.
The Ditson Co. is meeting with marked success
in the new song by Charles Wakefield Cadman,
entitled "At Dawning," which is considered one of
the best things this popular composer has yet put
out. An interesting feature is that the world-
famous tenor, Allesandro Bonci, has taken most
kindly to Cadman's songs and is using them to fine
effect.
B. F. Wood Co. Unusually Busy.
The B. F. Wood Music Co. is unusually busy at
this time. All the traveling men are out and the
indications are good for an active season in the
fall.
Where the Thompson Force Vacationizes.
Mr. Thompson, of Charles W. Thompson & Co.,
is making ready to go on his vacation, and he is
casting longing eyes toward Plum Island, off the
New England coast. He hopes to get away about
August 7. James Donlan is taking part of his
vacation in New York and the remainder in the
Berkshire Hills in western Massachusetts. Miss
Alice Smith, of the order department, is away
resting up for the fall, and Miss Florence Potter is
leaving the first of the month for Shirley Centre.
Things are rather quiet at Mr. Thompson's estab-
lishment this month.
Walter Jacobs Congratulating Himself.
Walter Jacobs is congratulating himself that he
is able to get The Cadenza out on time this month.
This magazine, like Jacob's Orchestra Monthly,
has had so much business coming in to it toward
the publication day that it has been difficult to get
the last forms to press in time, but since the ad-
vent of Mr. Scorgie, who is assistant advertising
manager and who was referred to last month, Mr.
Jacobs is finding his business progressing with
more despatch and smoothness. So rapidly has
Mr. Jacobs' business grown the past year that he
finally was obliged to get an assistant.
Pleased with New York Progress.
Joseph M. Daly, the music publisher, lately re-
turned from a tour over to New York taken in his
fine machine, and he had among his guests popu-
lar Tom Lothian, assistant manager of the Colonial
Theater. Mr. Daly visited his recently-opened
New York office and found things running very
smoothly.
Look for Big Things for New Song.
These are rather quiet days at the establishment
of the White-Smith Co., but the end of the month
will be marked by the appearance of "The Heart
of Farrada," of which mention was made last
month. The company is very properly expecting
much from this song, which the public will agree
.is an unusual production, both in words, musical
. setting and cover. B. M. Davison is leaving the
city on August 10 for a vacation at Hyannis, which
has been his summer retreat for a number of years.
"WAS IT THUNDER?" asked the
startled crowd at the beach.
Yes, it WAS thunder, but not
from the heavens. It was
merely the uncontrollable
enthusiasm of the daily
throngs at HENDERSON'S,
CONEY ISLAND, when Belle
Baker, the inimitable, sang
"WHEN I GET YOU
ALONE TONIGHT"
This song is the act-maker
for the stage and the
record-breaker for your
business.

A collection containing
one hundred and thirty-
five of the old, familiar
and favorite songs which
seem to be in themselves a
part of American home life.
The varied contents includ-
ing songs of sacred, senti-
mental, humorous, planta-
tion, pathetic and patriotic
character, include every
really "popular" home song,
and the folio is one which
cannot be spared in any
home where music plays a
part in recreative hours.
