seems to be in a very prosperous condition over
there. The cut-rate evil seems to be practically
non-existent on the retail side of the business,
owing chiefly to the efforts of the London Music
Publishers' Association. With a very few ex-
ceptions the publishing firms there are marking
their music at the price at which it is sold and
there is certainly a get-together feeling between
the publishers and dealers.
In the course of a conversation Mr. Eastman
mentioned that "Missouri Waltz" is a great
favorite in London, in fact, throughout Great
Britain, and speaking of waltzes he said: "We

Headquarters of New Publishing Firm Rapidly
Nearing Completion—Featuring Several New
Numbers Used in "Ziegfeld Follies"
The new firm of Irving Berlin, Inc., who
occupy the old National Vaudeville Artists' club
rooms at 1587 Broadway, New York City, are
rapidly bringing to completion the alterations
which are to tit the quarters for the use of
their executive offices and professional depart-
ments.
The new firm has at its head Irving Berlin,
who was for so many years with the firm of
Waterson, Berlin & Snyder, and who needs no
introduction to the sheet music trade. He has
associated with him Max Winslow, who was for-
merly traveling manager of Waterson, Berlin &
Snyder, and Saul H. Bornstein, who was for a
number of years general manager of the Broad-
way Music Corp. and Artmusic, Inc.
In addition to a number of songs in this
season's "Ziegfeld hollies," they also have four
other numbers on which they will start an im-
mediate campaign. The numbers in the Follies
show are "Mandy," "A Pretty Girl Is Like a
Melody," "You Cannot Make Your Shimmy
Shake on Tea," "Harem Life," "I'd Rather See
a Minstrel Show," and " A Syncopated Cock-
tail," and the balance of the catalog is composed
of a ballad entitled "The Hand That Rocked
My Cradle Rules My Heart"; a comedy song
which is already meeting with success, "I've
Got My Captain Working for Me Now," a
new Irving Berlin rag, "I Lost My Heart in
Dixie Land," and a novelty number entitled
"Nobody Knows (and Nobody Seems to Care)."
