Others write for information on various musical subjects or for advice that will help them to attain suc cess in their various musical efforts. Most of them forget to enclose a postage stamp for my reply. Now, I am naturally obliging and would like to help all these good people in every possible way, but with my duties as organist at the Liberty Theater and my class of Organ and Piano pupils (not to mention time needed for personal practice and composition) it is utterly im possible for me to answer all these letters or to render the service requested. Realizing, however, that in many cases my criticism and advice may be invaluable to the person desiring it, I have decided to inaugurate a limited Consultation Service, for which I will charge a fee of Five Dollars, consultations to be by appointment only and arranged for in the order of their application. This service shall include first of all a frank opinion of the merits or faults of your manuscript correcting harmony that is poor or amateurish suggesting a good title if the present is weak rearranging song-poems that do not permit a rythmical musical setting a private performance of your composition on the Liberty Theater organ to demonstrate orchestral possibilities or any other musical service that is in my power to render. A great many people waste money publishing songs and instrumental composition that have absolutely no chance of financial success. My advice in such cases may save you a loss of money or result in improvements that will make success possible. Consultations not to exceed one hour. Henry B. Murtagh Organist Liberty Theater. Tel.
