THE
7VTUSIO TRRDE
REVIEW
In the World of Music Publishing'
••NANCY BROWN" IN DEMAND.
Through the medium of Jos. W. Stern &
Co., music publishers, the heated controversy-
over the rights to the title "Nancy Brown"
may at last be settled. That firm last week
closed a contract with Clifton Crawford, the
composer of the George W. Lederer version,
whereby they will control its publishing
rights.; Inasmuch as the firm had previously
arranged with Henry K. Hadley, who has
composed the score for Miss Marie Cahill's
"Nancy Brown," to publish his music, the
members of the firm believe they will be able
to bring about an amicable settlement.
Careful inquiry along the Rialto failed
to disclose anyone conversant with the facts
of the controversy who shared this opinion.
Lederer's coolness toward Daniel V. Arthur
is well known, and the latter's disdain of
Lederer's belligerent attitude is even more
pronounced.
We quote Edward B. Marks, of Jos. W.
Stern .& Co., as giving out the following:
"By having both composers under con-
tract with us we believe that we can bring
about an adjustment of this difficulty. This
probably will be arranged by having one or
the other withdraw his claims to the title
and select another one. At any rate, I be-
lieve both productions can be made under
the same title without injuring the business
of either. Of course, confusion might some-
times arise."
Arthur was none the less active yester-
day in whipping his forces into shape by rea-
son of Lederer's announcement that he would
bring an action against anyone else attempt-
ing to use the title,. Both Arthur and Leon
Laski, his attorneys, declared that the threat
merely amused them. Lederer did not take
any legal action yesterday.
SOUSA COMPLAINS OF PIRATING.
A dispatch from London to the World of
Sunday' says that Sousa has written to the
London Times complaining bitterly that he
finds "pirated" editions of his compositions
selling broadcast in London,. He says:
"I have been laboring under the delusion
that I had complied with the requirements
of the international copyright laws and that
your Government would assume the respon-
sibility to protect my property.. Apparently
no such responsibility exists. There surely
must be a remedy to protect a composer
from such deplorable injustice."
Nevertheless there is none except through
Sousa's instituting proceedings against the
pirates.
THE HEINTZMAN'S LATEST.
"Without Thee" is the title of Otto and
John A. Heintzman's latest ballad. Words
and music alike are of a high standard, re-
flecting infinite credit on the two brothers
who have developed such genius in the musi-
cal field. The first verse expresses the true
lover's sentiments:
I count the moments lonely
That keep me from thy side !
My thoughts are of thee only,
In all the world so wide!
Still for thee I am longing,
Joy for me has no gleam;
And hopes, like birds, once thronging,
Now fade like some sweet dream!
The book and lyrics of "The Jewel of
Asia" is the joint effort of Harry B. Smith
and Frederic Ranken. The music is from
the pen of Ludwig Englander.
The Heintzmans are now engaged on sev-
