THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
WILL GOETTINGJPUBLISH MUSIC?
Prominent Jobber Answers Direct Inquiry In
Characteristic Manner—Wants Some In-
formation Before Taking the Plunge.
For some time past, and especially within the
past few weeks, there have been persistent rumors
to the effect that A. H. Goetting, the prominent
music jobber, would enter the field directly as a
publisher and, in order to get the views of the
man who would naturally have some personal in-
terest in such a project, The Review communicated
directly with Col. Goetting. The following reply is
characteristic: "If you can inform me correctly if
the music publishers, when they pass away, go to
heaven or to the other place. I will then be in a
position to answer your question." Now you know
just what is going to happen.
Upon inquiring of a prominent publisher just
where he expected to go when he shuffled off the
mortal coil, he stated he was not particular, because
he had friends in both places. Maybe the Colonel
will take the 50—50 chance.
NEW CONCERN MAKING GOOD.
Imperial Music Co. Has Several Numbers That
Hold Much Promise—A Ballad Number That
Is Showing Up Particularly Well.
The Imperial Music Co., 145 West Forty-fifth
street, New York, one of the latest concerns to
enter the popular publishing field, is meeting with
a full measure of success with several of its num-
bers, one of which, at least, "My Dream Girl," is
fast developing into the real hit class. "My Dream
Girl," an attractive ballad with music by Newton
I J >. Heims and words by Dick Richards and E. L.
Heims, is an attractive ballad that is now being
used by a large number of professionals, among
them being Horan and Wright, appearing this week
at Hammerstein's Theater.
Another number being featured strongly by the
company is "Down on the Delaware," a new sort
(>t "river song," with words and music by Don
Heath with a lively "rag" flavor; "Baby Boy," a
clever novelty song by C. Williams and C. W.
Snyder; "There's Nothing That Time Cannot Tell,"
a ballad, and "The Woodrow Wilson March and
Two-Step."
Newton B. Heims, head of the Imperial Music
Co., has had long and successful experience in the
publishing and handling of music.
NEW MUSIC STOREJN MILWAUKEE.
Charles J. Hambitzer, Sr., Takes Over Old
Planner Stock, Adds Much New Music and
Will Cater to Mail Order Trade.
(Special to The Review.)
MILWAUKEE, WIS., February 24.—The first sheet
music store in Milwaukee and Wisconsin devoted
to the sale of band and orchestra music, and prob-
ably one of the very few in the Northwest, has
just been opened by Charles J. Hambitzer, Sr.,
veteran band and orchestra leader and composer,
who has been an important figure in musical circles
of Milwaukee for the past thirty-five years.
Mr. Hambitzer has purchased of the William A.
Kaun Music Co. the band and orchestra stock for-
merly owned by the late Joseph Planner and has
brought this up to date by adding all the latest
catalogs and editions. A general line of popular
music will be carried by Mr. Hambitzer for the
mail order trade. This phase of the business will
be under the supervision of Walter Koeppel.
Extensive basement quarters have been opened
ir. the building occupied by the ITanner-Hafsoos
Music House, 417 Broadway, where new show-
cases and wall fixtures have been installed.
RHYTHM RATHERJHAN MELODY.
According to Charles Wakefield
Cadman,
"rhythm rather than melody is the basis of Indian
music." In a recent Western lecture Mr. Cadman
illustrated the Indian's cleverness in producing sev-
eral rhythms simultaneously, as shown by the use
of drums, rattles and many curious devices.

A NEW PUBLISHING CENTER.
Several Music Publishers Have Already En-
gaged Space in the New Strand Theater
Building on Broadway at 47th Street.
To all appearances the new Strand Theater build-
ing, now being completed at the corner of Forty-
seventh street and Broadway, bids fair when once
opened to rival the Forty-fifth Street Exchange as
a music publishing center. F. A. Mills, the F. B.
Ilaviland Music Co. and the Watterson-Berlin-
Snyder Co. are included among the concerns that
have already secured space in the new structure.
Poor old "Tin Pan Alley" of former days is now
left far downtown and given over to the fur and
florist trades.
MUSIC PRINTERS TO MOVE.
Robert Teller Sons & Dorner to Be Located in
New Quarters May 1—Moving a Big Task.
Robert Teller Sons & Dorner, the prominent
music printers, now at 226 West Twenty-sixth
street. New York, will move on May 1 1o new and
much larger quarters in the modern Scribner
building at 'ill West Forty-third street, and close
to the music publishing center of to-day. The
company has been located in its present building
for over twenty years and the task of moving the
stock and equipment will be a tremendous one, es-
pecially in view of the fact that it will be the en-
deavor of Teller Sons & Dorner to change from
old to new quarters without interfering with the
regular business of the concern in any manner—
thus avoiding delay to customers.
INCORPORATE TO_PUBLISH MUSIC.
Farke, Daniels & Friedman, Inc., of New York,
have incorporated with capital stock of $0,000 for
the purpose of publishing music. The incorpora-
tors are Vincent Parke and Frank T. Daniels, New

Absolutely the best Tango Dance number ever composed.
The music and rhythm being correctly and perfectly written.
Entirely different from the many so-called Tangos on the
market.
Without any exception the best One Step, Two Step and
Trot ever composed or arranged by E. T. Paull, whose
compositions are universal favorites with every one who hears
or plays them.
T h e E g y p t i a n G l i d e is positively the best dance number that has been written in recent years. Something entirely different from
everything else; something new; something out of the ordinary; something far and way ahead of anything on the market; must be heard
to be appreciated. The one new dance number that will have a tremendous sale.
Dealers'
«
.
Attention :
The Tango and One Step dance numbers are sweeping the country at present. The Egyptian Glide is the
latest, the greatest, the best of all. Every Dealer should have copies of this new piece.
Nothing better
published. Simply try it.
Remember:
There are two different distinct arrangements of The Egyptian Glide. The special Tango arrangement by
Alexander Maloof, and the One Step, Two Step and Trot, by E. T. Paull.
Special Notice:
There is a descriptive article on the inside of the Tango arrangement that tells where the Tango originated;
and tells how the Tango should be danced properly as explained by Vernon Castle, the greatest exponent of
modern dances. Many people have a wrong conception of the Tango as a dance.
