the song is being played and sung. In many ways
it is one of the most ambitious attempts to exploit
a song that has yet been made through the medium
of motion pictures. The title page of "Runaway

lips, who is starring in the serial.

the Reliance Motion Picture Co., in the interests
of their big serial film of that name. The first
two instalments of the film have been released and
shown at over 20,000 theaters, and there are thir-

In popularizing the song "Runaway June" Wit-

Reliance Co. for the latter to send direct to every
theater using the pictures professional copies and
orchestrations of the new number, together with
slides showing the title page and chorus of the
number, which will be thrown on the screen when
STERLING
It's what is iaside of the Sterling that has made its repu-
tation. Every detail of its construction receives thorough
attention from expert workmen—every material rsed in its
construction is the best—absolutely. That means a piano
of permanent excellence in every particular in which a
piano should excel. The dealer sees the connection between
these facts and the universal popularity of the Sterling

Darby, Conn.
The fact that the sunny smile of Italy usually
worn by your favorite organ grinder has given
place to the frigid stare of the Esquimo is ac-
counted for-by the fact that the American Society
of Authors, Composers and Publishers is now on
the trail of the elusive hurdy-gurdy and demands
that the dispenser of sweet music in the streets
come across with the fixed contribution to the
society • for the privilege of playing copyrighted
music in public. Members of the Anti-Noise So-
ciety, on the other hand, demand that the hand
organs either be suppressed or at least be kept in
good tune at all times. Between the two factions
the life of the virtuosi of the hurdy-gurdy is far
from being a happy one.
John Loeffler, secretary of the society, is now on
the trail of the licensed hand organs in the city,
which at the present time number 227 of all classes,
and the task is a big one. Still, at only $5 per
organ, royalty would amount to the neat sum of
$l,Ki5 to be added to the millions in prospect for
composers and publishers if the courts decide that
their rovaltv claims are valid.
