THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
through having the society protect his work, but
this is not the case. The effect of adhesion to the
articles of the association is to prevent a composer
from authorizing any public performance of his
work. The society, on the other hand, being in-
vested with the right to refuse to allow any such
work to be publicly performed, demands a con-
tribution from every concert at which any work by
any member of the society is performed, and there
exists a complicated system for calculating the rela-
tive importance of every composition.
"In sp'.te of this, however, the financial advan-
tages derived by the ordinary member are an en-
tirely negligible quantity. This may be due either
to the manner in which the money is collected and
distributed, or to the extremely heavy 'general ex-
penses account' of the society. As an illustration
it may be cited that I received an amount equiva-
lent to about 90 cents in American money for my
royalty on several concerts given in Paris during
a period of about two months.
"The society exacts from the manager of every
concert at which a work of any of its members is
executed a certain sum of money for permission to
execute such work, but this sum is not distributed
to the composer or composers whose works are
represented, but the whole pragram is taken as
being covered by such payment, and the member
only gets the proportion of the money which his
work bears to the whole program, although his
work may be the only item on the program which
justifies any collection at all being made from the
manager."

Eugen D'Albert Claims That There Is
Something in the Viennese Air
That a Musician Needs and Will
Reside There Permanently.
Eugen D'Albert is now in Vienna
preparing for the first performance of
his new opera, "The Conceded Wife"
("Die verschenkte Frau"), and also to
prepare for his removal to Vienna,
where he intends permanently to re-
side. "There is something in Vienna
air," according to D'Albert, "that a
musician needs. Here one thinks musi-
cally, one feels music, one lives actually
in its atmosphere. Even the springs run
in rhythm." D'Albert intends to spend
the greater part of the year there. .
TWO PROMISING NUMBERS.
The Harry Von Tilzer Music Publishing Co.
reports that the two numbers that are developing
rapidly are "Oh, Mr. Dream Man" and "The Rag-
time Goblin Man," both of which numbers have
won success for many professionals and have found
favor with the public. "I Want a Girl" and the
other recognized hits of the strong Von Tilzer
catalog continue to be well in the running.

IMPRESSED THE IMPERIAL.
The man with the bushy head and
the foreign appearance in dress and manner seemed
to be making himself so much at home about the
Imperial that everybody from the manager down
was set to wondering who he was. He went into
the red room and sang, to the great delight of the
crowd that gathered, and then he went into the
restaurant and walked about and lighted a cigarette
and smoked it with such a grand manner that the
manager decided he must be a person of im-
portance and asked his name.
Nobody knew it, and when the watch changed it
