"Musicologist and historian, Delmer Rogers, longtime member of the staff of the Department of Music at the University of Texas, is of the opinion that the Hauschild Music Company, founded in Victoria, Texas in 1891, was the second oldest institution to commercially publish sheet music in Texas. (Thos. Goggan of Houston being the first.) Also, his extensive research indicates that Hauschild's was the first in Texas to issues music with Spanish titles. About thirty were published, many by talented writers, and sold in large numbers. In addition, probing seems to prove that Hauschilds was the first to publish the efforts of several of the music-loving Germans of the area. Most interesting, too, is that the spritely composition, the Cowboy Rag offered in 1904 possibly was the purcursor of this genre of popular music." taken from "The Cognoscenti Collections";

HISTORICAL NOTE: "Hands Across the Table is a 1935 American romantic screwball comedy film released by Paramount Pictures. It stars Carole Lombard as a manicurist looking for a rich husband & Fred MacMurray as a poor playboy, with Ralph Bellamy as a wealthy but handicapped ex-pilot. The teaming of Lombard & MacMurray was so well received, they went on to make three more films together, 1936's The Princess Comes Across, 1937's Swing High, Swing Low, & 1937's True Confession. Brought up in poverty, hotel manicurist Regi Allen (Lombard) wants to marry a rich husband. Her new client, wheelchair-using hotel guest Allen Macklyn (Bellamy) is immediately attracted to her & becomes her confidant. Despite his obvious wealth, Regi does not view him as a potential husband, & has no qualms about telling him about her goal in life. Exiting his penthouse suite, she encounters a man playing hop-scotch in the hallway, & declines his invitation to join him. He makes an appointment for a manicure as Theodore Drew III (MacMurray), scion of a socially prominent family. Unaware that the Drews were bankrupted by the Great Depression, she accepts his invitation to dinner. They have a good time, but Ted drinks too much & tells Regi that he is engaged to Vivian Snowden (Astrid Allwyn), heiress to a pineapple fortune. When Regi is unable to wake him from his drunken slumber, she lets him sleep on her sofa. He explains to her that he was supposed to sail to Bermuda last night (a trip paid for by his future father-in-law) & that he has nowhere to stay & no money. Regi reluctantly lets him live in her apartment until his boat returns from Bermuda, at which time he can return to sponging off of Vivian. Ted & Regi confess to each other that they intend to marry for money. Ted & Regi play fun pranks on each other. In the 1st one, Ted frightens away Regi's date (an uncredited William Demarest) by pretending to be her abusive husband. Later, in order to convince Vivian that he is in Bermuda, Ted persuades Regi to telephone Vivian while posing as a Bermuda telephone operator. When Regi repeatedly interrupts in a nasally voice, Ted hangs up to avoid laughing in his fiancee's hearing. However, this backfires, as Vivian discovers that the call came from New York when she tries to reconnect. She hires private investigators to find out what is going on. In the course of their stay together, Ted & Regi fall in love. On their last night before the boat returns, they admit their mutual love, but Regi ends the relationship, insisting that Ted would resent having given up his chance to be wealthy if he were to marry her. Early the next morning, Ted leaves without saying goodbye. Vivian has a nasty confrontation with Regi at the hotel. After Regi leaves & Ted shows up, Vivian makes it clear that she knows what happened, but is still willing to go through with the marriage. Ted, however, asks to be released from their engagement. Meanwhile, Regi goes to her regular appointment in Allen's suite, but breaks down in tears. Allen had intended to propose to her, but he secretly puts away his engagement ring after she confesses she has fallen in love despite herself. When Ted finds her there, she agrees to marry him. On a bus, Regi & Ted discuss what they should do 1st: eat lunch, get married, or find a job for Ted. They toss a coin to decide; Ted jokingly says he will get a job if it lands on its side. Sure enough, it does when it gets wedged in a manhole cover. Carole Lombard as Regi Allen; Fred MacMurray as Theodore "Ted" Drew III; Ralph Bellamy as Allen Macklyn; Astrid Allwyn as Vivian Snowden; Ruth Donnelly as Laura, Regi's boss & friend; Marie Prevost as Nona, Regi's friend & a strong believer in numerology. Lombard had originally wanted Cary Grant in the role of Theodore Drew III, but scheduling conflicts made him impossible to get. The film was intended primarily as a vehicle to promote Lombard's comedic acting abilities. MacMurray was not known for his comedic acting abilities & found it difficult to be humorous enough for the role. Director Mitchell Leisen & Lombard both worked extremely hard to get the performance they wanted out of him. Lombard at one point sat on MacMurray's chest, pounding on him with her fists & yelling, "Now Uncle Fred, you be funny or I'll pluck your eyebrows out!" Lombard & MacMurray were unable to create the chemistry that they had with various other on-screen partners. Leisen said, "The main problem with Fred in those days was that he didn't project much sex, aside from being very good looking. In the scene where he says 'Aren't you going to kiss me good-night?' Carole was supposed to walk in & kiss him, then walk out of the frame. Well, she came out past the camera, just looked at me & shrugged her shoulders, as if to say, 'So what?' Poor Fred!" Lombard & MacMurray liked each other immensely, Lombard going to parties at the MacMurray's house & vice versa. With Leisen's direction, they were able to project their genial relationship onto the screen. Of the scene in which MacMurray calls his fiancee & Lombard continuously interrupts stating "Bermuda calling," Leisen said, "When they finished the take, Carole & Fred collapsed on the floor in laughter; they laughed until they couldn't laugh any more. It wasn't in the script, but I made sure the cameras kept turning & I used it in the picture. It is so hard to make actors laugh naturally – I wasn't about to throw that bit out." The New York Times reviewer Andre Sennwald called it "an uproariously funny romantic comedy, with a brilliant screen play", with "some of the best dialogue that has come out of Hollywood in many months". However, modern critic Dennis Schwartz disagreed, writing that the "sophisticated screwball comedy is never that funny or intelligent as it appears to be at 1st glance."

He began writing songs as a teenager. He contributed songs to Broadway revues, formed the music publishing company Spier & Coslow in 1928 & made a number of vocal recordings. With the explosion of film musicals in the late 1920s, Hollywood attracted a number of ambitious young songwriters & Coslow joined the exodus in 1929. Coslow & his partner Larry Spier sold their publishing business to Paramount Pictures & Coslow became a Paramount songwriter. One of his 1st assignments for the studio was the score for the 1930 film The Virtuous Sin. He formed a successful partnership with composer Arthur Johnston & together they provided the scores for a number of films including Bing Crosby vehicles.

Together they have a daughter, Cara Coslow who gained notoriety as Head of Casting for Carsey Werner Productions & the Producer of the television series Dante's Cove. Cara is also an author of two books. During the 1960s Coslow's work shifted from music & film to market analysis. During this time Coslow founded the publishing company Investor's Press, which published investing books & the newsletter "Indicator Digest." During the 1970s Coslow wrote two books, "Cocktails for Two" which focused on his musical career & "Super Yields" which focused on investing. He died in New York City. Partial song list:
