TRADE:
REVIEW
THAT if the music roll manufacturer is privi-
leged to sell the words of the songs with the roll,
where does the music publisher get off with his
two-cent royalty?
THAT "mechanical reproduction" of music, as
referred to in the Copyright Law, does not refer
to reprinting the words of the song.
THAT now we learn that too much ragtime is
getting on London's nerves, and this after being
assured that the craze would last for years.
THAT a certain interesting theatrical paper an-
nounces itself as "the trade paper of the profes-
sion." A square peg fitted into a round hole, as
it were.
THAT the veteran clothing merchants of Baxter
street had nothing on the present-day professional
staff of certain publishing houses when it comes
to pulling in the performers who are bound for
other offices.
THAT a great hit that doesn't produce substantial
profits for the publisher through the medium of
actual sales is the one to talk about, not the song
that is a hit only with the professionals.
THAT Phil Kornheiser, the Feist professional
manager, is smoking fat cigars and pricing large
diamonds these days as an evidence of his faith in
several new numbers that are beginning to receive
the attention of his staff.
THAT the failure of several imported operettas
thus far this season and the probable failure of
at least one other soon indicates that the foreign
composer and librettist must deliver the goods
the same as the American.
THAT Jean Schwartz is sitting up nights finish-
ing the music for the coming Winter Garden pro-
duction, which is already in rehearsal.
THAT we would like to know which publisher
will have the real hit of 1913—that's all right,
officer, there's no riot, they're simply all talking
at once.

TWO DIFFERENT TYPES
Pielson and Goldie are two
different types of
performers]
"THAT'S HOW I NEED YOU"
and
"AT THE YIDDISHER BALL"
are two different types of
songs; but at the Alhambra
Theatre this week, you
should have seen the
"opposites" MIX!!
Some boys! Some Songs!
Some Success!

Effort Being Made to Have Publishers Co-op-
erate in Presenting Protest Against Barring

P. S.—"String a Ring of Roses Round
Your Rosie" and "Whistle It" going big-
ger than ever.
Efforts are being made to have the music pub-
lishers, and if possible the prominent book pub-
lishers, join together in an effort to have the
regulations regarding the parcel post so changed
as to admit of the mailing of music and other
printed matter under that classification. At the
present time only matter of the fourth class and
referred to as merchandise may be sent by parcel
post, and books, music and other printed matter
still remains in the third class and mailable at the
rate of one cent for each two ounces.
Early this week Ted S. Barron, general manager
of the Jerome & Schwartz Publishing Co., sent a
letter to publishers of sheet music and books ask-
ing for opinions regarding co-operation in the at-
tempt to have the regulations changed, and the re-
sults were immediate. The advantage of shipping
music, especially short orders, by parcel post is
readily realized. The rate in most instances is
much lower than that of the express companies and
the deliveries are made much more rapidly. Be-
sides, there is discrimination against certain lines
of business, for sheet music could certainly be in-
cluded under the heading of merchandise without
undue effort.

The Season's Biggest Waltz-Song Hit
"Climb a Tree With Me"
By CHAS. K. HARRIS
You can order it from your nearest
jobber or direct from the Publisher.

MEYER COHEN, Mgr.
PROFESSIONAL MANAGERS NOTE.
Eight young persons, comprising the orchestra
of the Grace Baptist Sunday-school in Trenton,
N. J., went back to "work" after having been on
"strike" for some time because lively sacred music
was not allowed. Livelier airs have been provided.
Anton Schott, a former operatic star, is dead in
Stuttgart, Germany. Schott was one of the popu-
lar singers when the Metropolitan Opera House
was dedicated to opera in German.
HINDS. NOBLE * ELDBEDCE.
A collection containing
135 of the old, familiar
and favorite songs which
seem to be in themselves
a part of American home
life. The varied contents,
including songs of sacred,
sentimental,
humorous,
plantation, pathetic and
patriotic character, in-
clude every really "popu-
lar" home song, and the
folio is one that cannot
be spared in any home
where music plays a part
in recreative hours. Price,
50 cents.
