The manner in which "Valse June," the big Sam

last week from the American Society of Authors, Fox Publishing Co. success, has swept through
the country emphasizes not only the intrinsic merits
Composers and Publishers, which body has been
of the song but the results of co-operation be-
very active recently in carrying on its campaign to
make restaurant, hotel and cabaret orchestras pay
for the privilege of using copyrighted music. The
reason for Mr. Rem'ck's action has not been an-
nounced.
The ranks of the society are s rengtheued at
practically every meeting by the addition of new
members, at one meeting recently a round half
dozen new members having been enlisted.

COULDN'T RESIST "TIPPERARY."
German Ambassador Beats Time to British
Marching Song While Emphasizing Con-
versation According to a Recent Story.
just how the strains of "It's a Long, Long Way
to Tipperary" "get" those who are listening to it
being played is well illustrated in a story which is
going the rounds regarding the German Ambas-
sador, Count von Bernstorff. It happened at the
Ritz-Carlton at the luncheon hour and when the
Count was talking energetically to a man in the
lobby. The orchestra struck up "Tipperary," and
soon the Count's hand, swinging to emphasize his
remarks, was keeping time to the music uncon-
sciously. At last reports the Count had not re-
ceived any official reprimand for momentary lapse.
RECENT DITSON PUBLICATIONS.
Recent issues of the Oliver Ditson Co., Boston,
Mass., include the Grieg Sonata in E Minor, op.
7, edited by Bertha Fiering Tapper; Isadore Phil-
ipp's Exercises for the Development of Higher
Pianoforte Technique; octavo edition of Ten Tra-
ditional Carols for Christmas; three anthems for
the.Yuletide, "The Grace of God," H. J. Stewart;
"Hail to the Lord's Anointed," W. Berwald, and
"While Watched Their Flocks by Night," by the
same composer. These are arranged for mixed
voices. There is also a notet for soprano or tenor
solo, and chorus, "Omnipotence," by Frederick
Stevenson, and dedicated to Harrison M. Wild and
the Mendelssohn Club, of Chicago. Another vol-
ume handsomely bound is a collection of standard
anthems for men's voices, edited by George M.
Nevin. It is an admirable collection in every
respect.
"PAPA'S DARLING" PLEASES.
'"Papa's Darling,'' the new musical farce with
book and lyrics by Harry B. Smith, and music by
Ivan Caryll, was presented the the New Amster-
dam Theater on Monday evening under the man-
agement of Klaw & Erlanger. Although the book
was described by the critics as of the usual French
farce type, the music was highly praised as meas-
uring up to Caryll's previous efforts. Chappell &
Co., Ltd., publish the score.

tween the publishers and dealers in exploiting the
number emphatically and attractively.
Many dealers, both in large and small cities, have
arranged special window displays to exploit "Valse
June" in their particular localities and have thereby
given the number publicity that has been productive
of large sales records. An interesting example of
the displays featured by the dealers is reproduced
"MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA."
Song of Civil War Days Proves Popular with
Troops of Various European Nations—Even
Sung by Japanese in Port Arthur Campaign.
A London dispatch mentions among the striking
incidents of the day the passage of a Highland
regiment through the Strand to the strains of
"Marching Through Georgia." That stirring tune,
which puts quickness into the most laggard feet,
has long been a favorite in the British Army. It
has been sung in India to cheer a weary march, and
is called for both in the mess room and at the
camp fire. "John Brown's Body" is more especially
the enlisted man's song, but both officers and men
delight in the martial strains that commemorate
General Sherman's exploits. Indeed "Marching
Through Georgia" seems to have caught the fancy
of soldiers everywhere. The Germans know it, and
when the Japanese entered Port Arthur in 1905
their bands played "Marching Through Georgia."
Thus this American tune having obtained its cos-
mopolitan vogue a generation ago its employment
by belligerents is free from complications of
neutrality.
"BOUND FOR FRISCO FAIR."
(Special to The Review.).
MILWAUKEE, WIS., November 3.—Julius Baum-
bach, of the Milwaukee Optical Manufacturing
Co., has composed a new song, "Bound for the
Frisco Fair," which critics say will be a popular
seller. Mr. Baumbach has placed several success-
ful songs on the market during the past year.
attracted great attention. The handsome title
pages of the piece were brought into the general
design in an effective manner and the main object
of the display was never lost sight of.
The reorders for "Valse June" are large and
frequent, and the publishers, the Sam Fox Co.,
Cleveland, O., are able to quote some interesting
sales totals on the number.
If plans now before the Denver Association of
Sheet Music Dealers work out as planned the sell-
ing of sheet music, the popular kind, in that city at
ten cents will be discontinued and the price raised
to fifteen cents per copy. There is no opposition to
the proposed increase.
