THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW

AMERICAN ORCHESTRAS ARE BEST
SONG BY TEN=YEAR-OLD WRITER
Be
So Declares Ignaz Friedman, Well-known
Pianist, Upon Arrival in America for Tour
Joe Davis, head of the Triangle Music Pub-
lishing Co., New York, recently added a valu-
able asset to his business when he accepted for
publication a song entitled "Mother's Lullaby,"
by Betty Gulick. The writer is a child, ten
years old, who has entertained children with
"Goodnight Stories" at several of the leading
Ignaz Friedman, returning recently from his
European concert tour, talking with friends at
the pier as he landed, is reported to have ex-
pressed the belief that America has the best
orchestras in the world, and that in a generation
it will be producing native artists who will rank
with the greatest.
"You cannot imagine the emotions with which
a musician returns to America," Mr. Friedman
said. "America to-day has the best orchestras in
the world. The best artists of the world are found
in America. They are not for the most part
native Americans, but the appreciation of good
music among increasing numbers of American
people is growing so sincere and genuine that
the best artists of the world are attracted here.
Jt is here that they are best understood. Their
art reaches its greatest heights here because
their audiences are becoming the most intelli-
gent here, and true appreciation surely is an
important factor in making good art greater.
That is why your opera houses and symphony
halls present the best voices, the best instru-
mentalists the world is producing.
"In fifteen to twenty years, I feel safe in
predicting that America will be producing the
best native artists. This is not a chance hazard.
It is not said lightly. I seriously believe' that,
if America continues its genuine absorption in
the best music, one* tangible result in the next
twenty years will be the development of the
world's finest voices, the world's finest masters
of musical expression in every medium."

hotels in New York during the past year and
was formerly a member of the Earl Carroll
production, "Daddy Dumpling." It is also said
that her stories have been recorded by one of
the leading talking machine record companies,
which is also to record her song.
Not only is the song "Mother's Lullaby" a
work of merit, but the fact that the writer is a
mere child will enable the publisher to gain
much publicity in its behalf. Already various
newspapers throughout the country have used
the picture of little Miss Gulick as well as men-
tioned her song and activities a number of times
in their reading columns.
ANNOUNCES FRIEDMAN ALBUM
Since the opening concert of Ignaz Fried-
man, the celebrated pianist, at Eastman Hall,
Rochester, N. Y., his publisher, the Edward
P>. Marks Music Co., has announced a piano
album containing fourteen of his favorite selec-
tions which are meeting with much favor. The
edition is in souvenir style and contains a large,
lifelike head of the artist on the frontispiece.
It is imported and is produced on the best
qualiiy of paper and printed with clear and
large notes.
SOME PHIL_PONCE SUCCESSES
Among the songs that are most active in the
catalog of the Phil Ponce Publications, 1658
Broadway, New York City, are: "Sweet Lovin'
Mama," "Baby Clothes," "Pal of All Pals," "The
Old Homestead" and "Delaware Waltz."

NEW PAUL SPECHT ARRANGEMENTS
Paul Specht, Columbia recording artist and
orchestra leader, is writing a series of special
arrangements of classical and popular selec-
tions. Recently Specht produced special "rhyth-
mic symphonic" arrangements of Tosti's "Good-
bye" and the sextet from "Lucia," which were
recorded by the Columbia Graphophone Co.
These arrangements met with such success that
the well-known orchestra leader will continue
the series not only for the Columbia firm, but
will also issue them, as well as popular numbers,
in special orchestral arrangements for use of
orchestras universally through his own firm.
PADEREWSKI'S CONCERTS ON TOUR

Paderewski tour for the last half of January.

a striking success, the Polish pianist playing to
