McKINLEY SONG SUCCESSES
Jobbing Department of the Big Publishing House
Shows the Trend of Sheet Music Trade.
The best place to feel the pulse of the sheet music
trade at this time is the jobbing department of the
McKinley Music Co., Chicago, or at the New York
offices of the company at 145 W. Forty-fifth street.
The jobbing department of the big music publishing
house is the largest and most complete in the coun-
try in the general requirements of the sheet music
dealer. There every want in the sheet music line
can be tilled and satisfactorily. An admirable part
of the McKinley service is the tilling of all orders
the day they are received.
The trend of tastes in music is easily observable
from a glance at the sales sheets on any day. To
the experienced members of the jobbing room force
the study in popular tastes is fascinating. The ex-
tent of the business permits a wide range of ob-
servations. Teachers, students, professional mu-
sicians and the music buying public generally are

"Love Is the Dream of Ages"
The song exquisite.
CHORUS.
Love is the dream of ages,
As old as the sea and sky,
Living in youthful splendor
Till the waters of life run dry;
Always telling the story
That ever is sweet and new—
The story of a heart's desire,
The yearning I feel for you.
"A Castle in Dreamland"
Fox-trot Song.
CHORUS.
Just a castle I'm building in Dreamland,
A sweet little castle for two,
Where the roses are blooming so fragrant
And the sweetest rose is you.
The king of this castle is Cupid
And we'll never know thoughts that are blue
In this dear little castle in Dreamland—
The castle I'm building for you.
10-Cent Numbers (Retail)
"Dixieland Is Songland"
One-step Dixie Song.
"Dear Land of Nowhere"

TWO POPULAR NUMBERS
These very popular numbers:
'COLONEL CONWAY MARCH" (Band) and
"ARIZONA MOON" (Light Waltz for Piano)
are making a big hit, and mseting with due praise
in Arizona and on the Pacific Coast.
T. Dunston Collins, ths composer of these
numbers and others, is a former ban'"! master of the
Iowa State College and of the Indian School at
Phcenix. 27c in stamps will get a copy of eithsr

the guides to the national requirements in sheet
music.
The McKinley song successes are always a true
indication of the popular taste. One of the latest
hits of the McKinley Music Co. is "One Little Girl,"
a fox trot song of wonderful popularity. It is, of
course, bound in one of the attractive covers for
which the company is noted. The lyric of this song
success is by Harold G. Frost and the music by J.
Henry Klickman.
COURT RESTRAINS PAVILION
The Leo Feist Co., Inc., New York, Sues Dancing
Place in Oregon.
The Leo Feist Co., Inc., of New York, has tiled
suits against Charles Niemi and M. F. Hardesty, the
proprietors of the Bungalow dancing pavilion at Sea-
side, Ore., in the United States District Court, for the
producing of "O" and "The Naughty Waltz" at their
resort, and the Federal court has issued a restraining
order pending the outcome of the suits. As a result
the visitors at Oregon's popular seaside resort will
not enjoy the tuneful rendition of the two pieces of
music, at least for the present.
The two tunes, copyrighted by Feist, featured
dances at the pavilion on July 4 and 10, thus infring-
ing on the copyright of the publisher, who asks that
the owners of the hall pay from $250 to $5,000 dam-
ages for each rendition of each song.
LONG DISTANCE MUSIC
Demonstrations of Wireless Telephony Amaze and
Delight Guests of William Marconi.
When the next president of the United States is
elected in November he might be greeted by the
strains of '"The Star Spangled Banner" transmitted
by wireless telephony from the cabin of the yacht
of William Marconi, the Italian inventor, in the
Mediterranean sea. This is believed possible by ex-
perts who have investigated the experiments con-
ducted here by the inventor on board his yacht, the
Electra.
Marconi's guests recently danced on board the
Electra 1o the music of an orchestra playing in Lon-
don, so distinct was the transmission by wireless
telephone. Marconi is now engaged in perfecting a
"direction finder," with which to locate ships at sea.
By the use of this instrument, it is said, Marconi dis-
covered and reported from London to the Italian
minister of the navy that an Austrian submarine was
threatening the Italian coast between Triest and
Pola.
MUSIC IN THE ARMY.
Military music in its relation to the efficiency,
morale and contentment of the soldier is now
emphasized by the War Department of the U. S.
Government, which directs that specific attention be
devoted to this subject. The organization of or-
chestras, regular drill periods for singing, and in-
formal entertainments are provided for in a circular
just issued by the office of the Chief of Staff. Com-
manding officers are called upon to name a musical
director in each organization, and provision is made
for the appointment of civilians in this capacity
when qualified officers or enlisted men are not avail-
able.
SHEET MUSIC SUGGESTION.
A feature of the player music roll trade which was
impressed upon Louis Goelzlin, of the Pacific Music
Co., San Francisco, during a recent trip through the
state of California should be suggestive to heads
of sheet music departments. Mr. Goelzlin says deal-
ers everywhere notice a reaction against jazzy things
in vocal or instrumental music.
THE BURR-R HELPS.
Lamperti, the famous vocal teacher of Milan,
says that the English, especially Londoners, are,
with very few exceptions, the worst of all Europeans
as to the pronunciation of Italian, the Scotch rather
better, while the Irish, with study, could obtain an
almost perfect accent.
The sale of sheet music of popular songs in Port-
land, Ore., is up to the average for this time of year
and the various dealers are featuring some of the
most popular and latest hits.
Seiberling & Lucas display "Whistle a Song" and
"When You Come to Me (Mother of Mine)."
The Remick's house is featuring "Linger Long
Letty," music by Alfred Goodman and published by
Leo Feist; "The Japanese Sandman," the words by
Raymond B. Egan, music by Richard A. Whiting;
and "Just Because," words and music by Felix Ber-
nard, another Remick production.
The Metropolitan is featuring "Just Because" and
"The Japanese Sandman," while Sherman, Clay's
present "Whispering" to the attention of the public.
Eilers is featuring "Linger Long Letty."
Art Hickman's Columbia records are featured by
Remick's, the Metropolititan and Bush & Lane's, the
latter company specially presenting "The Love Nest."
NEW COLLEGE COURSE.
The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, will in-
augurate a course in the psychology of music at the
opening of the new college year. An analysis of
the varying effects of music upon different persons
will be made under the instruction of Otto Ortmann
of the Peabody Conservatory of Music and Dr.
Knight Dunlap, professor of experimental psychol-
ogy at Johns Hopkins.
