ThEREVIDVflEARS
THAT, as a center for music publishers, Forty-
sixth street, west of Broadway, will soon be push-
ing Forty-fifth street, or at least the Exchange
Building, for the honors.
THAT at the present time there are three music
publishing houses in a row facing the Remick &
Co. building, all of them with ground-floor loca-
tions.
THAT, in the meantime, Thirty-seventh street is
talking on the appearance of a deserted village as
compared to its former activity.
THAT the silk, nor merely near-silk, shirts of
the Feist professional staff are fully in keeping
with the fancy character of the new professional
quarters of that house.
THAT the gathering of collections of prize cups
is all the rage among the music publishers these
days, and the house that has not a half-dozen or
so cups to display is poor indeed.
THAT the growing number of "resting" profes-
sionals spending their time in with the publishers,
and the absence of many members of the trade, is
first-hand proof that vacation time is here.
THAT the majority of the publishing houses took
advantage of the fact that July 4 fell on Friday
to declare a holiday until Monday.
THAT E. T. Paull will sail next month for a va-
cation of two months in Europe.
THAT, according to a recent traveler from Aus-
tralia, the ragtime craze has struck that country.
THE FOLLIES OF 1913

hit in years!

lishing House Nearing Completion—Win-

Prominent Music Publisher of Paris, Who Ac-
complished Much for Music in France, Died
in That City Recently.
The new building for housing the trade depart-
ment of Leo Feist, Inc., at 231-233 West Fortieth
street, is rapidly nearing completion and the staff
is expecting moving orders within a couple of
weeks. The new building is well located, commo-
dious and generally attractive in appearance, and
the section used for the trade department of the
Feist house will be specially arranged to meet the
requirements of the business.
The professional department of the Feist house
is working hard on "The Curse of an Aching
Heart," and Manager Kornheiser points with pride
to a trio of prize cups won in a single week with
that number. The new and clever prize song,
*'Peg o' My Heart," is also being featured in a
quiet way at present and is making good.
Word has been received here of the death in
Paris recently of Wilhelm Enoch, head of the
French house of Enoch & Sons, and brother of
Emile Enoch, the well-known music publisher of
London. Mr. Enoch was a Knight of the Legion
of Honor and was the publisher who issued, among
others, the works of Cesar Franck, Chaminade,
Louis Ganne, and Emanuel Chabrier. ITis work in
the cause of music in France was highly com-
mended by the prominent newspapers at the time
of his death.
DEATH OF FAMOUS MINSTREL.
George Thatcher, Who Made Two Generations
Laugh, Passes Away in East Orange, N. J.—
Was Sixty-four Years Old.
George Thatcher, one of the most prominent of
the negro minstrels for two generations, died last
week at the home of his nephew in East Orange,
N. J., after an illness of several months, his last ap-
pearance having been in Dustin Farnum's "Littlest
Rebel" in March. He was sixty-four years old.
A moving reminder for those who knew George
Thatcher twenty and thirty years ago was the
singing at his funeral in East Orange on Monday
of "Could He but Speak Again" by Frank Howard,
who wrote "When the Robins Nest Again" and
"Only a Pansy Blossom," and sang both songs as
a member of the Thatcher, Primrose & West band
of minstrels.
Mr. Thatcher was born in Huntly, Md., and ran
away from home to go on the stage at the age of
twelve. His first engagement was as a call boy
with the San Francisco Minstrel troupe. After the
dissolution of the Thatcher, Primrose & West''or-
ganization, Mr. Thatcher took out his own com-
pany in "Tuxedo" and a comic opera "Africa,"
written by himself. He toured the vaudeville the-
atres with a negro dialect monologue of his own
composition and renewed the fame of his earlier
days as the porter in George Ade's "County Chair-
man," a part which he raised by his art far out of
the importance to the plot intended by the author.
INDICTED BY GRAND JURY.
(Special lo The Review.)
CHICAGO, III.. June 30, 1913.—Allie Hammond,
operating under the names of the Imperial Music
Co., Imperial Card Co., the A. 1 lammond Co. and
other names, was indicted by the Federal Grand
Jury last week for failing to answer letters of per-
sons who sent for goods he advertised.
Charles K. Harris moved this week with his
family to a cottage at Far Rockaway for the sum-
mer. Mr. Harris will attend to his business at his
office regularly every day during the heated term,
going down to the seashore each evening.
