THAT according to reports there will be a re-
newal of activity among music publishers in
favor of a protective association.
THAT the recent announcement of a 5 and 10-
cent syndicate that all their stores will in the
future be 5, 10 and 15-cent houses was re-
ceived among publishers as an omen of a future
rise in the price of sheet music.
THAT with the catalogs of the various houses
starting the new year well, and with the above
taken into consideration, there seems much to
be thankful for.
THAT a well-known music publisher recently
stated the publishing business was a gamble.
THAT this was followed up by the remark of
a competitor that the above statement was true
unless one published hits.
THAT the moral of the same is "Don't gamble,
publish hits."
THAT Phil Kornheiser, professional manager
of Leo Feist, Inc., is a success in more than one
field, Phil being the father of three children.
THAT Herbert Avery, the new general man-
ager of Al Piantadosi, Inc., has certainly added
new life to that already thriving young con-
cern.
THAT W. H. Goodwin, advertising manager
of Jos. W- Stern & Co., is very enthusiastic-
over the new "Stern Fine Art Series" of high-
class publications.
"HEARTS OF ERIN^ NOW "EILEEN"
Name of Herbert-Blossom Operetta Changed to
Prevent Misconception of Show's Character
BOSTON, MASS., January 22.—After having given
two performances in this city last week, those
in charge of the production of ''Hearts of Erin."
the Victor Herbert-Henry Blossom operetta,
decided to change the name of the piece to
"Eileen," under which title it will be known in
the future. The change of name was made in
the belief that "Hearts of Erin" did not convey
the proper idea of the light character of the
piece, and to some gave the impression that it
was a sort of drama.
TO FEATURE NEW HARRIS SONG
William Holt Wakeficld, who is about to make
a tour over the Keith circuit, will introduce for
the iirst time a new song by Chas. K. Harris,
"The Story in Black and White." This is a
simple little novelty child story song, and is
claimed to be one of the best in its line Mr.
Harris has ever written.
NEW IRISH SONG_ READY SOON
Jos. W. Stern & Co. will shortly have ready
lor release a new Irish song from the pens of
Wolfe Gilbert and Anatol Friedland, that
exceptionally clever and successful team of
writers.
The new number is entitled, "I'm
Hearin' From Erin," and promises to be
one of the sensations of the year as far as Irish
songs go.

"LOVE 0 ' MIKE" WELL RECEIVED
New Musical Farce Opens at Shubert Theatre
—Some Tuneful Melodies by Jerome Kern
"Love o' Mike," a bright musical farce, hailed
as the logical successor of "Nobody Home" and
"Very Good, Eddie," was presented for the first
time in New York at the Princess Theatre on
Monday evening of this week, under Marbury
and Shubert management.
The humor is of
the sort associated with old-time 'varsity shows
and is put over by a well selected company.
There is also considerable singing and much
dancing. The book is by Thomas Sydney, lyrics
by Harry B. Smith, and music by Jerome B.
Kern. Mr. Kern has given some catchy tunes,
including "Drift With Me" and "1 Wonder
Why," both distinctly melodious. T. B. Harms
and Francis Day & Hunter publish the score.
SOME COMING FEIST ADVERTISING
Those dealers who have been following up the
publicity of Leo Feist, Jnc, giving this sea-
son's catalog in mediums of national circula-
tion will be glad to hear that another advertise-
ment will appear in the Saturday Evening Post
of Saturday, February 24, featuring "Honolulu,
America Loves You" and "When the Roses
Bloom in Loveland," as well as mentioning all
this season's successes from the Feist catalog.
