YOUNG WOMAN WRITES TANGUAY SONGS.
In addition to her numerous accomplishments,
already recognized, please add one more to the
genius of Eva Tanguay, says Joshua Lowe in the
Morning Telegraph. What may be described as
an Eva Tanguay "find" is a young woman, still
in her teens, the daughter of a prominent family
living in the wilds of Long Island, who bids fair
to shine as one of the country's foremost lyric
writers and popular composers. Her name is
Blanche Merrill and she is so modest that she re-
fuses to sit for a protograph or to supply me with
any details of herself. .All that I can learn is that
in some mysterious way she was discovered by
Miss Tanguay and that the "I Don't Care"
comedienne employed her to write "The Tanguay
Rag," "Give An Imitation of Me," "Egotistical
Eva," "I Can't Help It," "Whistle and Help Me
Along," and several other attractive ditties to be
exclusively used by Miss Tanguay.
MUSICAL COMEDY BASED ON FARCE.
"Jinga Boo," to Be Produced by John Cort,
Taken from "There and Back"—Music by
Arthur Pryor and Lyrics by Vincent Bryan.
The new musical comedy, "Jinga Boo," which
John Cort has announced as scheduled for pre-
sentation by him in October, has for its book an
adaptation from the German by Leo. Dietrich-
stein, originally presented as a farce under the
title of "There and Back." In its musical form
the lyrics will be supplied by Vincent Bryan and
the music by Arthur Pryor. We understand that
the music will be. published by Shapiro.
With the exception of the prelude and the
musical number, "Sunset," used in Montgomery &
Stone's "Old Town" (Witmark), Pryor has
given his attention almost entirely to band and
orchestra compositions, which have had world-wide
vogue for several years. Pryor is generally known
as the Paganini of the trombone, and as soloist
on that instrument has won international recogni-
tion. It is as a band leader that he has been
brought into special prominence of late years.
Mr. Cort will give "Jinga Boo" a New York hear-
ing. Vincent Bryan is well known to New York
music publishers as a lyric writer, and has written
the words of many successful songs.
LIBRETTO MUST BE DESTROYED.
Budapest's Court of Appeal has pronounced
judgment in the suit brought by Maurice Maeter-
linck against Emil Abranyi for using the Belgian
poet-mystic's "Monna Vanna" as an opera libretto
without securing permission from the author.
Abranyi and the two directors of the Budapest
Opera, who produced the work, have each been
condemned to pay a fine of $20 and required to
destroy the libretto.
