THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW

SUCCESS OF A CHARMING SONG.
"A Little Love, A Little Kiss," a Chappell &
Co. Publication that Has Proven Decidedly
Popular on Two Continents.
A song that attains international prominence
and is to be classed among the successes of the
season in both Europe and Amer-
ica is a rarity that is well worth
marc than passing attention. "A
Little Love, a Little Kiss 1 ' (Un
Peud'Amour), the charming song,
with words in both French and
English and music by Lao Silesu,
a composer with several other suc-
cesses to his credit, enjoys the
record of having swept through
Europe during the past season and
having been taken up in produc-
tions and concerts in this country,
having been interpolated by sing-
ers in such successes as the Zieg-
feld's "Follies of 1013," with Jose
Collins as the singer.
Among those who present "A
Little Love, a Little Kiss" in a
particularly charming manner are
the Misses Hoyt, who are singing
the number in all their concerts
and who are enthusiastic over the
manner in which *t has been re-
ceived. The Misses Hoyt have
sung before President Taft and
other notables both in this coun-
try and abroad, and occupy a prom-
inent position among concert ar-
tists. The adaptability of the
number for use in either distinctly
high-class programs or in pro-
grams of a more popular order is
a distinct tribute to the character
of the piece. "A Little I.ove,
a Little Kiss" is published by
Chappell & Co., Ltd., London and
New York.
IN HONOR OF~VERDTS~CENTENARY.
As the Verdi centenary approaches all Italy is
pieparing to honor her greatest master. Milan,
the country's musical metropolis, will have not only
a series of Verdi performances, but a parade, on
October 10, in which Italy's leading musical or-
gDnizations will be represented, and many eminent
artists will march personally. The parade will stop

sicisti.

AMERICA.
Several Hundred Vaudeville Singers Practically
Stranded in British Capital Owing to Glut-
ting of Music Halls.
According to a dispatch to the New York Amer-
ican, there are-three or four hundred homesick
Americans in London. They are music hall artists
who flocked over there when ragtime brought
about a transatlantic boom.
They came first class, talking of three-figure
contracts, and now they are scheming to get cheap
passages home disguised as Polish emigrants.
The trouble, of course, is that the music hall
sage has been glutted with American turns.
DEATH OF DAVID POPPER.
David Popper, known the world over not only
as a famous 'cellist, but as a composer of many
numbers for that instrument, died in Vienna last
Saturday. He was born at Prague, June 18, 184G.
He was a pupil of Goltermann at the Prague Con-
servatory, and early in life was chamber virtuoso
to the Prince of Hohenzollern, then soloist at the
Vienna Court O; era. He played the 'cello with
success in many tours of Europe.
