ThEREVIEWflEARS
THAT reports have been received in this country
to the effect that at least two London publishing
houses have given the members of their staffs a
week's notice and will close down until after hos-
tilities have ended.
THAT, up to date, there has been no increase in
the wholesale or retail price of popular music as
a result of the war conditions.
THAT "Independence Day in Dublin Town"
(Witmark) is developing rapidly into the hit class
and is proving a favorite with performers.
THAT Anatol Friedland, composer of "Beautiful
Roses" (Feist) and other successes, has now
branched out and is reported to be writing a book.
THAT When Teddy Morse said "Things may
come and things may go, but the professional copy
evil goes on forever," he said a mouthful.
THAT, with the travelers and pluggers taking to
the road and the professional staffs working night
and day, the signs are good for a lively season.
THAT with the war feeling prevailing Irish songs
are about the only kind that are safe to use, outside
of purely American numbers, of course.
THAT Charles K. Harris wears an air of mystery
these days that will probably be productive of a
brand new ballad in the near future.
