from time to time, and correcting them in their
infancy, will be really constructive work,
that will be appreciated in years to come. The
popular houses have been fortunate in one
sense in the past, in having the distribution
taken out of their hands, but these conditions
no longer exist and there are many reasons,
therefore, upon which we will not attempt to
elaborate here. Despite the fact that the larger
syndicates distribute sixty per cent of the thirty
cent numbers at the present time, the popular
publishers will and must always take a vital
interest in the method of distribution. To
those who have confined themselves exclu-
sively in the past to ten cent works all such
problems will be new and they are apt to be
overlooked. They are important nevertheless,
and it behooves the various organizations to
give them consideration, and that at no late
date.

John McCormack was announced to give a
recital in a certain city. The event created quite
a stir. There was unusual interest in his com-
ing. The editor sent for his star reporter and
said to him: "I want you to cover this Mc-
Cormack concert to-night." The reporter pro-
tested that he did not know enough about music
to qualify for the assignment. "Our musical
critic will attend to the musical side of the af-
fair," was the rejoinder; "I want you to write
something from a human interest standpoint."
The following is a part of what he submitted:
"I'm not responsible for this—that is, I write
on request—but whether you believe me or not,
that John McCormack is one broth of a boy.
"At his recital last evening I saw a French-
man cry and grip my hand at his 'J'ai pleure
en reve'; one of our most successful American
bankers blubber at his 'Mother Machree'; a man
who speaks Italian as fluently as English catch
for breath in his 'La Donna e Mobile,' and
when it comes to the Irish songs—well, you
leave that to me.
"Now, there has been nothing like it done in
all the world. The heart-grip of the thing
leaves you almost dead. And here's what stands
out—the outrageous modesty of the man.
"When McCormack sings he tells you a little
story. His enunciation is absolutely perfect.
You never miss a syllable, much less a word.
Why can't our local vocal trainers understand
once for all that a mere human voice is vacuous
piffle without the 'message'?"
The Triangle Music Pub. Co., 145. West
Forty-fifth street, New York, are now making
a big drive on the following numbers: "Lone
Star," "Sugar," "Why Don't You Drive My
Blues Away?" and "Forever and Then for a
Day." These numbers are all receiving big
publicity, are heard frequently on the vaude-
ville stage and are being recorded by the lead-
ing player roll and talking machine record com-
panies.
Jos. M. Davis, business manager of the firm,
recently, in speaking to a representative of The
Review, stated that in the history of his or-
ganization their catalog was never more active.
They have greatly enlarged their plans for the
present season and Triangle numbers are to re-
ceive extensive exploitation in every channel
that will tend to give them added popularity.
The Triangle Music Pub. Co. are the origina-
• tors'of the name "Triangle" in the music pub-
lishing field, and the firm's title is registered at
the United States Patent Office.
BIG SUCCESS OF "B0W=W0W
COMMUNITY CENTERS ADOPT SONG
Daniels & Wilson, Inc., well-known music
publishers of New York and San Francisco, are
having big success with their comedy song and
one-step. "Bow-Wow." The success achieved
by this number in a very short time is demon-
strated by the fact that it has been recorded by
sixteen mechanical reproduction companies.
"Indiana Moon," the new waltz by Arthur
Freed and Oliver G. Wallace, composer of
"Hindustan," published by Daniels & Wilson.
Inc., New York and San Francisco, is being
adopted by many community singing centers
throughout the country. The number has a
great appeal.
