The extensive new offices of Will Von Tilzer,
who recently decided to start a music publishing
house of his own in the building at 145 West Forty-
fifth street, are rapidly being put into shape and

space available, the new offices will afford excellent
facilities for properly handling the trade and the
profession. In the meantime Mr. Von Tilzer is to
be found in temporary offices in the same building.
He has arranged to handle the works of several
prominent song writers, including James E.
Monaco, writer of "Row, Row, Row," "I'll Sit
Right on the Moon" and other successes.
Mr. Von Tilzer is head of tH£ recently incorpo-
rated Broadway Music Corporation, with capital
stock of $500. Besides Will Von Tilzer, the direc-
tors of the corporation are H. Harold Gumm and
William V. Goldies, of New York.

Tells Good Story on Himself in Which Unex-
pected Consequences Developed.
Signor Puccini, the composer, refers his strangest
musical reminiscence to Milan. Unknown, as he
supposed himself to be, he attended in that city a
production of his own opera, "La Tosca." His
own account of the experience is:
" 'La Tosca' was received warmly by a crowded
house. The applause was almost frantic. In fact,
a young lady seated on my left got so annoyed
because I didn't clap and shout that she rebuked
me, a frown wrinkling her pretty brow.
"'Why don't you applaud this masterpiece?' she
said.
"'Masterpiece?' said I, and I laughed sarcastic-
ally. 'Masterpiece? Oh, dear!'
"'Don't you like music?' she demanded, in
amazement.
" 'No,' said I. 'It's the work of an amateur.'
" 'You know nothing of art,' she cried, 'or you
wouldn't talk like that.'
"'Oh, don't I?' said I. And then I proceeded
to prove to her, according to the laws of thorough-
ness and counterpoint, how poor a work 'La Tosca'
was. I told her this aria suggested Verdi, that
chorus was a reminiscence of Bizet. In a word,
I knocked my own music into a cocked hat.

"When I had finished the young lady said:
" 'Is that your real opinion—your sincere con-
viction?"
" 'Absolutely,' said I.
"'Very well,' she said, with an odd little laugh,
and at breakfast the next morning the first thing
I saw in my newspaper was the headline, 'Puccini
on "Tosca."' And there I read, word for word,
my remarks of the night before. The young lady,
a musical critic, had recognized me. When I
thought I was gulling her she was gulling me."
