at re lily IL surprising, sir, TO find
how steadily tho demand for old-time
songs keeps up" said popular music
dealer yesterday TO a Commercial Ga
zstio reporter.
The sbsvs remsrk caused inquiries
TO De made among the various mu-
sic dealers In this city concern
ing the direction the public taste
for mnslc is running, In almost every
instance /, was fonnd that the old
songs, the "good old songs" 90 they
are properly termed, have asreat hold
on tho public, Notwithstanding the
many new and attractive additions to
the long vocal list. "Sssphen q. Eos

"The demand for th.m, snd also for

must pe that no house whore there is n

Among tii5 Tho other old songs, but
Of lator dste, mentioned 80 nasintsin-
Ing their popularity, ara: "Onlyto See
Thy Face" "Fsr Awty," "Wheu You
and were Young, Maggie" and
songs OF similar claHs.
Songs from fold operss also have o
etcedier sale than tho "latest attrac-
Lions" from tho new operas. Such
songs an "Theu You'll Remember

quest" by The old composers, are in
much stsadisr demand than tho songH
In any oi the very latest operas. one
music denler said: sit Is fact that
orr beat songs, mean unsteady best,
SIRE never tho most popular. The pub
lie taste Is Ter something trashy. For
instance, look at the great demand for
such song as "Climbing Up the
Golden Stairs," or any of those trashy
and common songs that the public
COOS wild about for few weekg.
There reslly Is 80 little real music
about these effusions and 80 little
sense in their words that tho public
i1self becomes]tired of them. But no
sooner is the tirednes5 nhown than the
vendors OF this stuff give the public
another dose, and SO this taste for
,rssby effueions is kept up"
In dance music tho public taste, SO
shown in the music stores, indicates
that waltzes are the most popular. 1t
is shown that q taste for high-class
waltz is on the increase. Such delight
full aud sound ccmposerS as Waldt5u-
fel, Lowthian and Strauss are In great
demand. Waltzes taken from songs
are tor short time popular, but their
emptiness soon ceuses them TO Iesurne
the shelf. Some of theso live longer
than others, but Dope of them are last
ing. "My Queeu," 'See-Saw" and
"Dream Races all have been very pop
ular, but any of Strauss or Lowthian's
wallzes will last ten times longer than
any OF them. For instance, "Tha
Beautiful Danube" or Lowthian's
"Myosotiop values have lived - long
time and will live much longer.
There id comparatively little

THOUGHTS ON OUR THEATRES

The death of JOHN MCCULLOUGH
leaves the present dsy in this country
with but two persons OF positive his
trionic genius in tho genuine Shakes
pearean drama, viz: BOOTH and BAR
RETT. Aud so far as Dallas is con-
cerned, we need look for the appear
ance OF neither of these for perhaps O
long time to come. MCCULLOUGH
was fond of this State and city,
and both reciprocsted tho feel
Inc to the full for him.
He never once made his appearance
upoa our boards that he was not
greeted with.an admiring house, where
even standing room was at a premium.
1t is true that WARD and KEENE have
undertaken TO contest the palm with
the greet ideal "Virginius" and
"Brutus," but neither of them fills the
measure that no so completely real
lied, The difference is that of G star
OF the first magnitude to one
OF tho newly discovered asteroids.
And YET whom even these lesser trsg-
edy lights in Che theatrical ornament
come amoEgst US, empty seats are
rarely seen IN dress circle or gallery.
On tbs other bsId, such pieces rs
"Skipped byi tho Light OF the Mnon,"
the @Danites," and other wild Western,
nioklc-novel, blood'curdIing, hair
lifting presentations,ar are being rapidly
rclegated to tho Decent variety halls
where they belong sad can
meet with the admiration,
sympathy and applause from
congsnIa. auditors. The same is IN
great part true OF many OF the 1neio-
dramas and Society plays OF merely
ordinary merit. Unless these are es-
pecially good in themselves, or offered
with first-class troupes, our Theatre s.
poers extend them small favor. Thsse
facts ought TO be admonitcry TO inc
managements Of tho opera houses IL
Texas. Attendance on them takes
time and rnpney, and when these are
expended pstrons naturally expect
and exact due return. II
is much better that but one
half the number OF pisces be given
through tho season, to be of the better
order, than O continued flow of the in
fsrior article. Besides.this,th The better the
quality, the igher the culture for our
people. most Of whom are excellent
critics Of genuine dramatic merit. Dial
las has become metropolitan centre
and looks for metropolitan character
of service in art on sale as well as
other things. And this is applicable
to other cities in the Texas circuit.
