MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
THE GOSSIPS ARE BUSY AGAIN

Revive Old Rumor of Big Combination of
Music Publishing Houses
The
Awakening!
At last the public is waking up. RecU-
less spenders are beginning to pla<'e some
value on nickels and dimes.
This, no doubt, accounts for the record-
breaking sales CENTURY is recording.
While many claim business is bad—Cen-
tury's couldn't be better.
"CENTURY" Is an economy Edition and
this is a most opportune time to push it.
The annual rumor that there is to be a com-
bine of the biggest music publishing houses is
now abroad. The story this time deals with
some Western capitalists who are reported un-
derwriting the corporation. Also to be asso-
ciated with the proposed company, it is said,
are several prominent Western theatrical men.
The usual amount of supplementary rumors go
with the story and the plans are just as gigantic
as anything in the past.
However, the trade need not look forward to
any such combination, as there are any num-
ber of reasons why it would be almost impos-
sible to get the larger organizations into any
such combine.
NEW STASNY NUMBERS FOR FALL
Wolfe Gilbert, who, as announced some time
ago in these columns, has again entered the
music publishing business, has leased offices at
155 West Forty-seventh street, directly above
the offices of George Friedman, Inc.
A. J. Stasny Music Co. is planning a series
of campaigns featuring the leading numbers of
its catalog during the Fall season, commencing
with the early weeks in September. Among the
numbers that will be especially featured are
'Take Me" and ''I'll Be Your Regular Sweetie"
(But I Won't Be Your Once in a While), "Ten
Baby Fingers" and "Five Women to Every
Man." Among the other songs that will come
in for some special mention will be "Lone-
some Land," "Just Because," "After To-Night,"
and "Oh, How I Miss You, Mammy," the lat-
ter number being one of the releases in the
Stasny library edition. This latter edition also
includes two other recent releases in "To-Day"
and "Come Back" (Again to Me).
JOE KEIT VISITS IN BOSTON

Joe Keit, general manager of Jerome H.
Remick & Co., spent several days last week in
Boston, Mass., also making a trip up to Glou-
cester, where Jerome H. Remick, head of the
firm, has his Summer home.
Miss Edna Mae, who is a native of Cali-
fornia and has been familiarly described as
"The Sunkist Prima Donna" and "The Cali-
fornia Nightingale," is singing with great suc-
cess Jos. W. Stern & Co.'s number,, "Blue
Diamonds." Miss Mae, who has a voice of rare
beauty and unusual charm, is a pupil of Louis
Croxton, of the Metropolitan Opera House.
Her ambition is to become a comic opera star.
