"The Devastation," "Heart Throbs" and "The
Jester's Serenade" Last Compositions of the
Dead Composer
The past month has been a particularly active
one for the orchestra publication department of
Carl Fischer, Inc., New tf'ork. Not that this
is an exception to the general rule, but a num-
ber of unusually interesting works have been
released which should be of outstanding inter-
est to orchestra leaders of theatres and moving
picture houses at this time of the year.
Special interest attaches to a set of three new
numbers by the late Victor Herbert, unusually
attractive numbers which were found among
the works left by this gifted composer and
which now have been published in special ar-
rangements, according to the original score, by
Harold Sanford. These three numbers are en-
titled "The Devastation," "Heart Throbs" and
"The Jester's Serenade." The characteristic
titles of these pieces at once suggest the nature
of the music. It is thematic, emotional and full
of that melodious style which has ever been
the acknowledged and outstanding character-
istic of Victor Herbert's best works.
"The Devastation" is vigorous and inspiring
in its musical content and provides an admirable
accompaniment to serious or dramatic pictures.
In addition it offers manifold opportunities to
capable orchestras, either small, full or grand, to
show off the abilities of the players, both in-
dividually and in ensemble. Needless to say,
Mr. Sanford has provided an arrangement
which in every way is worthy of the music and
its illustrious composer.
"Heart Throbs"' is one of those exceptional
bits of writing which have helped to establish
the fame of Victor Herbert, possibly more than
any of his other more brilliant works. It should
provide an excellent number for pathetic, emo-
tional scenes and is a most effective medium for
certain solo instruments which stand out
throughout the number.
"The Jester's Serenade" was composed some
years ago for special Sunday night concerts
which were given at the New York Theatre, and
as the writer has been told, it was written one
week later than "The Love Sonnet," which is
a companion piece to this composition. "The
Jester's Serenade" may justly be referred to as
one of the most typical of all of Victor Her-
bert's shorter works for orchestra. It is melo-
dious, capricious and fairly bubbling with that,
particular rubato style which Herbert knew so
well how to infuse into his works. The orches-
tration and general arrangement of this number
is particularly good and should prove more than
effective for orchestras of practically any size.
We know of no more interesting nor impor-
tant publication of this caliber than this an-
nouncement of these Victor Herbert numbers
issued by Carl Fischer, Inc. Herbert probably
made more important contributions to music,
won more adherence to its cause than any other
American composer. The number of Victor
Herbert enthusiasts throughout the country is
legion. Each year his works assume more im-
portance and greater popularity and an an-
nouncement that more Herbert works have been
unearthed brings glad tidings to the hearts of
music lovers everywhere.

"Parisian Gaieties" Makes
a Notable Success
New Policy at Moss Colony Theatre, in New
York, Marks a Departure From Ordinary
Routine
The Colony Theatre, one of Broadway's new-
est photoplay houses, under the direction of B.
S. Moss, has been one of the originators in pre-
senting a new type of musical show which, from
ear^ indications of public favor as well as an-
nouncements from the managements of leading
photoplay houses, will have a vogue from coast
to coast.
At present there is running at the Colony
Theatre a musical extravaganza called "Parisian
Gaieties," with special songs, costumes and
scenery. The lyrics of the numbers are by
George Bennett and the music by Jack Glogau.
One of the outstanding songs of this miniature
production is entitled "If You Believe in Me,"
and has made a big success.
