MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
1 HAT in the volume of sales of popular music
the general situation shows much recent improve-
ment.
THAT the craze for the tango and the hesitation
has done much to keep many of the publishers
busy.
I HAT some of the song writers have qualified
as tango experts and teachers, which all serves to
aid in the common cause.
THAT the "Five Brothers" bills now before Con-
gress, and aimed at the trusts, are calculated to in-
jure every business man engaged in interstate com-
merce, which includes every music publisher in the
business.
THAT Jere Smolik, formerly with Remick & Co.,
is now making good as sales manager for the
James Kendis Music Co.
THAT "A Thousand Years Ago," the latest effort
of Earl Carroll and Jack Glogau, looks like a new
addition to that long Feist list of "live ones."
THAT, with music publishers and song writers
sojourning in Florida for several weeks during this
raw winter weather, business can't be so very bad.
THAT, when a concern has been doing business
for nearly twenty years and out-of-town people
write to learn if the house is still in the trade, it is
certainly time to advertise.
THAT some of the ambitious publishing concerns
remind one of a candle. A big burst of flame, a
flicker, and then out.
THAT there is at least one high-grade song that
owes its popularity to its being sung for talking
machine records by a prominent grand opera star.
THAT nine-tenths of those not enrolled in the
new American Society of Authors, Composers and
Publishers have positive and personal ideas as to
just how that institution should be run.
THAT when those on the inside get the same
streak, good-bye society.
THAT "The Irish Tango," words by J. Brandon
Walsh and Krncst Breuer, is a new Witmark num-
ber that looks very promising.
OFF ON J^ONQ TRIP.
Roger A. Graham to Tour United States and
Canada in Interests of Publications of the
Theodore Morse Music Co.
Roger A. Graham, manager of the Theodore
.Morse Music Co., left on Monday of this week on
a tour of the principal cities of the United States
and Eastern and Western Canada that will take
four months or more to complete. Mr. Graham
will make his first stops in the New England States
and will call on the trade, as well as keep in touch
with the many professionals encountered en route.
Of course he will concentrate on Bert Williams'
big hit, "You Can't Get Away From It."

POPE BECOMES^ COMPOSER.
Report He Has Written a Motet Dedicated to
St. Joseph—A Great Lover of Music.
(Special to The Review.)
ROMK, March 1.—The musical review Tirso an-
nounces that the Pope has composed a motet for
four voices with a plain liturgical accompaniment.
It is dedicated to St. Joseph and will be rendered
in the Pope's private chapel on the saint's name
day, March 19. Abbe Perosi, the Vatican com-
poser, is most enthusiastic over the composition.
This story is not confirmed at the Vatican,
although it was said that the Pontiff understands
and loves music, but is too old and too busy to
compose anything. It was added that the motet
was perhaps composed years ago and that it will
now be privately executed.
