RAGTIME FOR ROYAL PROCESSION.
Playing of "Alexander's Ragtime Band" at the
Opening of Parliament Proves Too Much for
British but His Majesty Enjoyed It.
(Special to The Review.)
The Englishmen evidently enjoy ragtime, but
the playing of such music by the Guards' Band
during the procession of the King and Queen at
the opening of Parliament proved just a little too
much for even the ragtime advocates to stand.
The Musical News says:
"We have plenty of fine martial music suitable
for the occasion, and there was no need to go to
America for inspiration. Doubtless those clever
comedians known as the 'Two Bobs' will feel

SOME POPULAR FEIST NUMBERS.
New Ballads and Ragtime Songs That Have Al-

Trade and Public.
Although the popularity of "That's How I Need
You" is not abating to any noticeable extent, it is
confidently asserted by those who have watched
its progress that the newest Feist ballad, "Then
I'll Stop Loving You," will equal, if not surpass,
its predecessor in the matter of achieving suc-

that have been using the number with thoroughly
satisfactory results. Another Feist song of par-
ticular promise is the clever number, "Malinda's
Wedding Day," a ragtime ditty of original char-
acter.
Still another Feist song of which much is being
h^eard these days is "In My Beautiful, Beautiful
Dreams," with words by Joe Goodwin and music
by Oreste Migliacci. The new song has made a
strong impression on the professionals, and a sub-
stantial demand has also been created in the trade.
