THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
They have witnessed many changes in their
chosen field, for in the course of the past quar-
ter of a century the center of the theatrical dis-
trict has shifted from the old Rialto at Union
Square to the new one of Longacre Square. The
creators of the company, Joseph W. Stern and
E. B. Marks, who are still the heads of the
many, many times enlarged organization of to-
day, have encountered all kinds of changes in
business methods and in the styles of music,
but they have kept pace with them. There has
hardly been a song cycle of the popular or mu-
sical comedy kind but what they have had at
least one or two successes of that cycle or type
in their catalog. In fact, they have been among
the leaders, and in many instances the creators,
of new song ideas.
At the present time the Stern catalog embraces
successful songs of every phase of music mate-
rial from grand opera to "blues." Among these
are "Oh, Helen!" "Indianola," "I Can't Be
Bothered With No Mule," "Has Anybody Seen
My Corinne?" "Wait and See," "I'm Glad I Can
Make You Cry," "Kentucky Dream" and
"Tears" (of Love).
Four different locations have been occupied
during the past twenty-five years by the house
of Stern. Each move they have made has been
further uptown and into much larger quarters.
Each has been into a specially constructed build-
ing, their last being the ten-story establishment
which they now occupy at 102-104 West Thirty-
eighth street.
It has been rumored from time to time that
Joseph W. Stern & Co. are to make one more
move to the heart of the new theatrical dis-
trict, where they can house all of their depart-
ments under one roof and which will include a
complete music publishing plant. Outside of
many real estate holdings and mercantile in-
terests Joseph W. Stern and Edward B. Marks
also control a play bureau with connections in
London, Paris and other European centers.

Waterson, Berlin & Snyder have a number
of songs in their popular catalog which are
being featured in vaudeville. These include
"Come on, Papa," "How 'Ya Gonna Keep 'Em
Down on the Farm?" and "Rock-a-bye My
Baby."
A GIRL PIANO MOVER

office here resembles a sixteen-year-old boy in
her working clothes. In her "off hour" dress
she is very much a woman, a woman of pleas-
ing appearance. She weighs only 130 pounds,
is five feet four inches tall and has small feet
and hands. To pick up a 900 pound piano with
her truck and run off with it is play for her.
BUTTE,

Lieut. John Philip Sousa, famous bandmaster
and composer, has just added to his long list
ot compositions a memorial march entitled "The
Golden Star,'.' and dedicated "in memory of the
brave boys who gave their lives that Liberty
shall not perish." The appearance of the march
just now is most timely, and should make a
strong appeal to band and orchestra leaders
generally. The band arrangement of the num-
ber is to be published in the Chappell Army
Journal, and a special organ arrangement has
been made by Clarence Lucas and Gatty Sellars,
the well-known concert organist, who will fea-
ture it on his forthcoming tour. The march
will also be published in due course as a piano
solo, organ solo and for orchestra and military
bands by Chappell & Co.

added to her repertoire a new number from the
