THAT with Lehar, Kalmann and other prominent
composers of Viennese operettas facing service in
the big war it looks as though the American libret-
tists and composers will have a chance to prove
their worth during the next couple of seasons.
THAT in the natural order of things some live
dance originator should announce the "hound dog
lope" to have a little edge on the new "fox trots."
THAT the role of song censor assumed by the
United Booking Offices has resulted in one promi-
nent comedienne forfeiting several weeks' booking
for singing a forbidden number.
THAT if the idea grows the publishers will have
to put "Passed by United Booking Offices" on their
music for the protection of the performers.
THAT some performers have taken to the com-
posing and selling of popular songs for the purpose
of tiding them over the various seasons of forced
"rest."
THAT the experiences of at least two song writers
recently go to prove that the name of the composer
is of little value if his productions are not up to
standard.
THAT, especially in the popular music game, the
success of a dozen ballads does not in any way
insure the success of the thirteenth.

harmonize, we may expect to see a local copy of the
annual summer outing held by the Boston publish-
ers for many years past.

in securing free professional copies of popular
songs in some cases, which is really an excellent
