THAT if the practise of reviving old musical com-
edies under new and unfamiliar titles grows to any
extent it means that much of the music on the
shelves of publishing houses will have to be taken
down, dusted off and new title pages printed for it.
THAT to revive the shows under their original
names would not only save money for the pub-
lishers, but would also give the public a square
deal.
THAT if other civic and business organizations
throughout the country follow the example of the
Chamber of Commerce of Los Angeles and give
away sheet music dedicated to the city or the State
for the asking even the ten-cent stores will feel the
blow.
THAT it is suggested that the city arrange for a
season of open air grand opera in the parks during
the summer for the benefit of the general public
and at a cost estimated at about $5,000 weekly.
THAT by the time the city officials and others
get their fingers in the pie the estimated cost of
the opera, as is usually the case, will probably be
tripled.
THAT every popular music publisher and song
writer in the city will be in the position of con-
tributing, through the medium of city taxes, his
share of the expense of educating the public to
turn from his kind of music.
THAT music dealers are finding out that it is
possible to compete with the ten-cent and depart-
ment stores in handling popular music and get a
little ahead in the matter of handling production
and teaching music.
THAT movies are to be shown in the Metropoli-
tan Opera House—how have the mighty fallen.
THAT a song writer was arrested last week fo.r
borrowing a diamond ring from his lady friend for
the purpose of convincing his acquaintances that
there was money in his business. He forgot to re-
turn the ring, hence the trouble.
INCREASED SPACE WELCOME.
Walter Jacobs Using Facilities of New Quarters
to Advantage in Handling Growing Business
—Development of the Orchestra Monthly.
(Special to The Review.)
BOSTON, MASS., March 31.—The space now occu-
pied by Walter Jacobs at 8 Bosworth street is more
than four times the size of the old quarters in Tre-
mont street, which means that he is able to serve
his patrons as many times better. Two entire
floors are occupied by Mr. Jacobs, and on one of
these Mr. Jabos has a private office, a separate
room for his stenographers, another room for the
clerical staff and ample space for properly and sys-
tematically keeping his music. The other floor is
entirely given over to stock.
One of the most gratifying features of Mr. Ja-
cobs' business is the growth of Jacobs' Orchestra
Monthly. It will be recalled that before the begin-
ning of the year Mr. Jacobs gave notice that there
was to be an increase in the advertising rates, at
the same time guaranteeing an increase of 33 1-3
per cent, in circulation of the magazine. Now, here
SUCCESS.
Kitty Gordon's new starring
vehicle,
"PRETTY MRS. SMITH"
has taken Boston by storm.
The "Cort" Theatre will be
crowded for some months and
"DREAMING,"
our international song waltz,
is the sensation of the show.

is the surprise, as Mr. Jacobs tells it. With the
fourth issue (April), just out, the increase has
been 42 per cent., and he confidently believes that
with the fifth issue the increase will reach easily
50 per cent, over the regular 1913 edition. This
increase not only comes from new subscribers in
this country, but from Australia, New Zealand and
England as well.
IVAN CARYLL SAILS FOR HOME.
Ivan Caryll, the prominent composer of oper-
ettas, who has been spending several weeks in the
United States, sailed for England last Tuesday.
