genial personality created hosts of friends, not only
in the East but among his business associates
throughout the country.
Until recently Mr. Kretschmar was in business
for himself, but gave up work on account of his
health. Being of an active mind, however, he de-
sired activity, so he became associated as Phila-

ENJOINED AGAINST USING SONG.
A BIG SUCCESS.
F. Ziegfeld, Jr., Secures Permanent Injunction
Against Sam Rice and Others Covering
Public Performance of Song "Hello, Frisco."
"The Lights of My Home
Town," by Chas. K.
Harris, Makes Strong
Impression
on the
Trade and Profession.
The final decree in the suit brought against Sam
Rice and others by F. Ziegfeld, Jr., permanently en-
joining them from singing the song "Hello, Frisco,"
one of the hits of the "Follies of 1915," was hand-
ed down last week by the United States District
Court. Ziegfeld, in addition to having his claims
to the sole producing rights to the song upheld
by the court, was also awarded the sum of $400
a^ the costs of the action.
The suit was of considerable interest to music
publishers and theatrical producers in general as a
test of their right to control a song used in a pro-
duction.

A NEW SONG FOR SUFFRAGE.
Jerome H. Remick & Co. Publish New Number
by Alfred Bryan and Herman Paley That
Should W i n Votes for the Women.
Jerome H. Remick & Co. have stirred things up
some more during the past week or so by bringing
out a brand new argument for the cause of suffrage
entitled "She's Good Enough to Be Your Baby's
Mother and She's Good Enough to Vote for You."
The author of the new song is Alfred Bryan, whose
ideas as set forth in song have caused considerable
discussion on more than one occasion. The excel-
lent melody is the work of Herman Paley- Much
effort will be put into the exploitation of the new
song and much is expected of the number in the
near future.
