Head of Music Publishing Company Convicted
of Using the Mails to Defraud, Sentenced to
Thirteen Months in Federal
Penitentiary
at Atlanta—Applies for Writ of Error.
After being out nearly three hours the Federal
District Court jury, which for two weeks had been
hearing the testimony against Robert B. Kellogg
on the charge of using the mails to defraud, found
him guilty on two of the three counts. They, how-
ever, recommended him to mercy, and Judge Grubb
sentenced him to thirteen months' imprisonment
in Atlanta Penitentiary.
Kellogg was the head of a music publishing con-
cern, which advertised that it would set to music
and publish such songs as were sent in to it. For
this service it charged a fee of $21, and undertook,
in addition to supplying the music, to copyright the
song, to furnish the author of the words with 100
copies and to push its sales. Although the defense
was able to produce a certain number of witnesses
who professed themselves well satisfied with the
service Kellogg had rendered them, the Govern-
ment showed that in many cases tl^re had been
no adequate return for the fees paid.
One of the most damaging pieces of evidence
adduced against Kellogg was that, although he had
undertaken to copyright the songs for their au-
thors, he had actually taken out at Washington
only six copyrights. All that the defense could
urge against this was that the office of the defend-
ant had been very poorly run, and that there had
been so much confusion that mistakes were certain
to occur. Counsel for the defense also made a
point in addressing the jury of the fact that many
of the poems submitted to Kellogg had been pub-
lished in the newspapers during the trial.
"These obscure poets," he said, "have had their
rarest dreams realized through the action of the
Government in summoning them as witnesses."
After sentence was pronounced, Kellogg's coun-
sel, James C. Cleary, applied for a writ of error,
and the defendant's bail was continued until the
court could pass on the application.

FERRARI'S NEW OPERA
Bears
Comparison with His "Jewels
Madonna," Critics Say.
of
the
A despatch from Berlin says that Wolf Ferrari's
new two-act opera, "L'Amour Medicin," founded
on Moliere's play, achieved an extraordinary suc-
cess on its first production at the Munich Court
Theater last week, the composer receiving an
ovation.
According to the critics, the work marks a dis-
tinct advance upon Ferrari's earlier productions
and bears comparison well with his "Jewels of the
Madonna," which had such success in America.
The music is described as "in rococo style, genu-
inely original and charming, and its production is
worthy of the traditions of an opera house identi-
fied with the narr.e of Mozart."
Earl Carroll, with Leo Feist, Inc., has remem-
bered his many friends with a most dainty Christ-
mas card of original design. The sentiment is ap-
preciated and reciprocated.

"THE GIRL ON THE FILM" TO OPEN.
'.atest English Musical Comedy to Be Presented
for First Time in America To-night in
New Haven.
George Edwardes' original London Gaiety
Theater company, which arrived in New York
recently for the purpose of presenting the latest
London musical comedy success, "The Girl on the
Film," on this side of the pond, has completed its
final rehearsal and will present the play for the
first time in New Haven. After its trial on the
road the production will come to the Forty-fourth
Street Theater for a metropolitan season.
This musical comedy does not hail from Vienna,
but from Berlin, where, under the title of the
"Filmzauber," which is to say "The Magic of the
Film," it made its first appearance in October last,
and where it is still running.
The publishing rights of the music of "The
Girl on the Film" are controlled by Chappell & Co.
You Won't Believe It, But—
after we had seen so much obscene, we tore the "rags"
from "Rag-time," then plucked the "sick" from
"Classic" and knocked a different kind of "sick" out
of "Music"~the result was FIVE OLD-FASHIONED,
GOOD SONGS—Retail, 10 cents.
Then we "Whooped her up" into regular "seven-
come-eleven time" and what we have to show for that
is a folio of SIXTEEN real, live, GENUINE COL-
LEGE SONGS—In folio, retail, 50 cents.
Ask about them. Ask to see them.
