a situation as above outlined, but there has been
no hint up to now that such differences existed,
nor is there at present any sugestion of a reason-
able cause. The Ricordis control the later Verdi
operas and several other popular operatic standbys,
and it is in their power to create difficult condi-
tions for any opera company that incurs their dis-
pleasure.

An Incident During Coronation Week in Lon-
don Which Should Teach a Lesson to
Americans.
"There are many persons who have heard one-
half of the guests at an American Society dinner
in London singing 'God Save the King' while the
other half strained their voices in trying to drown
them with 'America,'" said a traveler just re-
turned, "and the American Society in London now
prints the words of the songs that are to be sung
on festive occasions. But it is surprising how
hard it is to find an English band that knows
how to play a real American patriotic tune.
"When John Hays Hammond gave his big re-
ception in London the night before the Fourth
the orchestra that played was one that is consid-
ered the smartest in the English capital, and is
employed by the American Ambassador at all his
big entertainments.
"Just as the guests were beginning to make their
adieus the host sent word to the leader of the
orchestra to play 'The Star-Spangled Banner.'
"The leader of the orchestra looked over his
music and could not find it. 'How does it go,
sir?' he asked the messenger. The latter hummed
a few bars. 'Never heard of it, sir,' said the
leader, shaking his head. Then his face brightened.
'But we can play "The Stars and Stripes Forever,"
sir; that's the nearest we have to it,' he added
hopefully. He was ordered to play that as a
substitute."'
Great Reception Planned for Composer When
He Comes Over to Conduct Opening Per-
formance of "Gipsy Love."
With the announcement that "Gipsy Love," the
new opera by Franz Lehar, is to have its Ameri-
can premiere at the Globe Theater, New. YorK, on
October 30, it is reported that A. H. Woods, who
has the rights of the piece in this country, has
prevailed upon Lehar to visit the United States at
that time and conduct the orchestra at the opening
performance. In view of the importance of Le-
har's intending visit, plans are under way for an
elaborate reception to be tendered him, in which
such prominent American composers as De Koven,
Herbert, Frank Damrosch, will take part. The
music of "Gipsy Love," "The Count of Luxem-
bourg, etc., is published by Chappell & Co.

"HONEY MAN" is ready!
