MRfVIEWflEARS
THAT the new Stevens bill, now before the
House of Representatives at Washington, should
prove of interest to some music publishers who
complain of price cutting, owing to the fact that
the bill provides that manufacturers may fix retail
prices for their products.
THAT it wouldn't appear to stretch the situation
much to class music publishers as "manufacturers"
under the law.
THAT one writer holds to the belief that sensible
words and not sales of hundred thousand editions
contribute most to the success of a .popular song.
THAT no matter how desirable sensible lyrics
may be, and they are certainly scarce these days,
it is the sales volume that helps to pay expenses
for publishers.
THAT a theatrical paper predicts the failure of
a half dozen of the smaller publishers during the
coming summer months.
THAT the same prediction, leaving out names, of
course, to cover wrong guesses, could be made with
safety any spring.
THAT the annual meeting of the Music Pub-
lishers' Association of the United States will be
held at the Hotel Astor, New York, on June 9,
with the usual informal luncheon dividing the ses-
sions.
THAT, as the piano manufacturers', merchants'
and travelers' associations will be holding their
conventions at the same hotel at that time, the oc-
casion should not be lacking in musical interest.
THAT motion pictures based on popular songs
of the present and the past arc the features to
be offered to the picture houses.
THAT the popular song, it is claimed, now suf-
fers in sales from the talking machine, the pianola,
the dance craze, and on top of all comes the mo-
tion picture song.
TO PRODUCE NEW MUSICAL PIECE.
Klaw & Erl'anger Announce That Musical
Comedy Based on French of "Le Fils Surnat-
ural" Will Be Presented in New York Next
Season—Music by Ivan Caryll.
Klaw & Erlanger announce that their first mu-
sical production of the coming season will be "Le
Fils Surnatural," a play by Grenet d'Arcourt and
Maurice Vaucaire, and with music by Ivan Caryll,
which achieved much success in Paris. The Eng-
lish adaptation of the book will be made by Harry
B. Smith and the piece will be presented at the
New Amsterdam Theater with a large cast and on
a spectacular scale. The music will be published
by Chappell & Co., Ltd.
Ah! That's the Question!
"WHO PAID THE RENT FOR
MRS. RIP VAN WINKLE?"
The greatest natural song
hit that ever a writer
wrote!
Sam Bernard is featuring it with Gaby Deslys in "The
Belle of Bond Street." Bernard Granville makes it the hit
of his life at the Winter Garden, and Al Jolson simply
"cleans up" with it in "The Honeymoon Express" on the
road. That's some record for a song only a few weeks old!
Yes.
You will have MANY
calls!
