THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
ISSUES A VERY COMPLETE CATALOG
Devoted to Bohland & Fuch's Band Instruments
— Wm. R. Gratz Import Co. to Be Compli-
mented on Its Attractiveness and Style.
The William R. Gratz Import Co., 35 West
Thirty-first street, New York, the prominent
musical merchandise house, has just issued a hand-
some catalog, devoted solely to the Bohland &
Fuchs band instruments, for which the William
R. Gratz Import Co., is the sole agent in this
country and Canada. Complete and thorough to
a degree, this 1914 publication is well worth com-
mendation and praise.
In addition to carefully listing the compre-
hensive line of band instruments manufactured by
Bohland & Fuchs, Graslitz, Austria, this new cata-
log presents a number of interesting suggestions
and illustrations that greatly enhance the value of
the publication. Facts and figures that can be
used by the trade to excellent advantage contribute
to the general high-grade character of this attrac-
tive band instrument book.
The front page of the catalog contains an in-
teresting preface that calls attention to the dis-
tinctive qualities of the Bohland & Fuchs instru-
ments and the success that the products have
achieved since they were introduced to the trade
in 1850. A comparative picture of the very small
building first occupied by Bohland & Fuchs with
the immense plant that it now occupies, furnishes
an adequate idea of the popularity of these instru-
ments. Portraits of the founders of the house,
together with pictures of various departments in
the company's factories, lend a personal touch to
the new book that is unusual in a publication of
this character.
Typographically the new Bohland & Fuchs cata-
log is well-nigh perfect. The cuts are exception-
ally clear, while the descriptions accompanying the
various instruments are adequate without being
voluminous. The volume is in expensive heavy
binding, which adds to its general attractiveness.
The William R. Gratz Import Co. deserves to be
congratulated on the many excellent features of
his new book.
REMINDS ONE OF HARLEM.
The Futurist musicians of Paris, jealous of the
laurels won by the Futurist painters, have formed
an orchestra with which they intend to give a
Futurist concert in the Theatre des Champs
Elysees. Their orchestra is composed as follows:

The program of the first concert will include

OCCUPYING LARGER QUARTERS.
The H. Herrmann Furniture Co. Moves to
Larger and More Central Quarters at 470
Fourth
Avenue—Location Convenient for
Piano Merchants Visiting New York.
After January 1 the H. Herrmann Furniture Co.,
formerly at 254 Canal street, will be located in its
larger quarters uptown at 470 Fourth avenue, New
York. This location is convenient to the visiting
trade, as it is only a few blocks from either the
Pennsylvania or Grand Central stations, so the
out-of-town dealer who desires to look at the
Herrmann line of music cabinets can easily do so.
This company holds the reputation of making
one of the largest lines of cabinets, not only for
sheet music but for player rolls and talking ma-
chine records, which are furnished in many styles
and in a number of woods. The Herrmann quality
is well known, as it has been from the quality
viewpoint that the business of the company re-
quires the larger warerooms uptown.
CARUSO AND J H E DRUM.
His Instrumental Solo a Feature at Metropolitan
Opera Performances.
The musical critic of the Times, in discussing
Caruso's appearance in "Pagliacci" at the Metro-
politan Opera House one evening last week, paid
the drum a tribute, as well as the drummer, when
he said:
"Enrico Caruso beat a bass drum with great
virtuosity and glee at the Metropolitan Opera
House last evening. As a famous musician once
wrote of a drummer, his rub was ecstatic, his dub
thrilling and his rub-a-dub dub delirious. It may
