teachers, students and consumers, and its title
pages are seen on every music counter. The
contest is for the purpose of giving a more
thorough knowledge of these popular works to
every one who sells them. It is taking some-
thing good, already well known, and making
possible a more intelligent acquaintance with
both the words and music. In this manner the
personnel of the establishments taking part in
the competition are able to use their knowledge
not only to the advantage of sales but to render
a greater service to purchasers.
The rules for the contest are few, carrying
hardly any restrictions, and those entering will
find that a little time given to it will be well
spent.

A new musical show opened in Syracuse,
N. Y., on January 18. It is called "Cherry Blos-
soms" and described as a Japanese operetta. The
book and lyrics are by Edward Paneton and the
music by Bernard Hamblen. Those who at-
tended the opening not only termed it a sure-
fire success but pronounced it a more valuable
production than any operetta for some seasons.
The music is particularly alluring and the lyrics
of the song numbers are described as Gilbertian.
Leo Feist, Inc., who publishes the score, has
already issued a folio of vocal gems from
"Cherry Blossoms." This includes seven of the
songs from the show in book form which is re-
tailed at a popular price.

Mr. Stevenson enters the music business be-
cause he has a love for it. He is a young man
of winning personality and ambitious but admits
that he knows very little about the retail field
and he does not expect to set the world on fire.
He believes, however, that representing the
Richmond Co. whose idea of service is of the
highest standard and with the object in view of
delivering his best to the Richmond Co.'s clients,
that he will be enabled to adjust himself to the
new activities in a short time.
Mr. Stevenson is already called "Bob" by
some of the trade so he must be making head-
way although he may find some of the store
doors a little low for great comfort because he
is a "big boy."
The Jack Mills, Inc., song, "The T.onesomest
Girl in Town," is featured in a one-reel motion
picture of the same name by Miss Bobby Fol-
som, the well-known vaudeville and musical
comedy star, who recently appeared at the
Colony Theatre, New York City.
