THAT we are now threatened with a flood of
Maori music, the melodies of the South Sea
Island savages, as an immediate substitute for
Hawaiian airs.
THAT with the Zulus and other savage tribes
to draw on there should be no occasion to fall
back on regular music for some time to come.
THAT according to newspaper accounts hired
applause makers at the Metropolitan Opera
House—the claque—will clean up $20,000 dur-
ing the season for their services.
THAT the high brows still take the oppor-
tunity of snickering at popular song pluggers.
THAT the barring of the American flag from
the title pages of music is going to put a moth
on more than one promising song product of
alleged patriotic cast.
THAT Jack Yellen and Al Piantadosi have just
written a new novelty Southern song entitled
"There's a Vacant Chair in My Old Southern
Home."
THAT, although Chas. K. Harris has proven
himself one of our best little scenario writers,
he continues from time to time to produce bal-
lads with the Harris punch.
THAT the patriotic songs continue to increase
at a rate which must please the printers.

"Winn's Practical Method of Popular Music
and Ragtime Piano Playing," which is published
in two books, has had a heavy demand during
the past few months, according to reports from
dealers. No doubt some of this increase in
sales has been due to the co-operation live sheet
music dealers have been giving the publications,
which are said to create increased sales when
given conspicuous display. The dealers to a
great extent are also using Winn literature and
pamphlets, which, as requested, carry the deal-
er's imprint. The liberal profit which is re-
ceived from the sale of the books is a contribut-
ing factor in encouraging dealers to place the
books in advantageous position on their count-
ers, thus bringing profitable results.
WALTZ ARRANGEMENT FOR BALLAD
Otto Motzan, composer of "A Tear, a Kiss,
a Smile," has prepared a waltz arrangement to
the number which the publishers, the Karczag
Publishing Co., has just issued. The new ar-
rangement is being heard wherever dance music
is popular, and it is becoming one of the most
called for numbers by those who desire a good
waltz. The new issue has been given a very
attractive title page done in three colors and
with the descriptive title Valse Classique.
