THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
THE OPPORTUNITY
There is going to be a larger demand than ever
for Century Edition this Fall and Winter from regu=
lar customers and those who will buy it for the
first time. One of the reasons is that the supply
of German editions has been cut off by the war
and the demand for most of that music will be
filled with CENTURY EDITION and will continue
to be filled with Century Edition. It's the great
opportunity for the best in American music and
Century Edition fills the bill. Just let this sink in
and then consider these

season three separate companies presenting the
great Henry Blossom-Victor Herbert success, "The
Only Girl," which ran all last season in New York.
The No. 1 company, the original New York com-
pany, opened in Chicago on Monday of this week,
and tlie other companies will start their seasons
\er_v soon. M. Witmark & Sons, the pub'ishers of
'The Only Girl" music, report a heavy demand for
the various numbers, even between seasons.
In view of the reawakening of general interest
in the old plantation melody, "Carry Me Back to
Old Virginny," due largely to the wonderful man-
ner in which Alma Gluck has sung that number
for the Victor record (No. 74420), the Oliver Dit-

the necessary title pages for the display and de-

Gustav Luders, the composer, who died suddenly
on January 24, 1913, left a net estate of only
$l()0.20, according to the transfer tax appraisal filed
recently. The report states that the total assets
were only $7,Ml, of which $4,26G was in securities,
and there were debts of $5,360 and other deduc-
tions, making a total of $7,390. The entire estate
went to the widow, Grace G. Luders.
Tlie report shows that Mr. Luders' intercsl in
thirteen comic operas amounts to only $2,. r >i»0 for
the performing rights and $500 for the publishing
rights. Among the operas were "King Dodo,"
"Prince of Pilsen," "Shogun," "Woodland" and
"Mam'selle Napoleon." Two of them, "The Grape
Girl" and "A Friend of Jack's," were never pub-
lished.
