EDOUARD STRAUS^ DIES IN VIENNA
Word has been received from Vienna of the
death, in that city, of Edouard Strauss, interna-
tionally famous as a conductor and composer
of dance music. He was a brother of Johann
Strauss, composer of "The Beautiful Blue
Danube," and known as the "waltz king."
Edouard Strauss visited the United States in
1901, and conducted concerts at Madison Square
Garden. He was eighty-one years old.
COMPOSERS FEATURED OWN HITS
Musical comedy hits, new and old, sung or
played by their composers was a feature of the
concert given at the New York Hippodrome on
New Year's Eve. De Koven's "Armorer's
Song" from "Robin Hood," rivalled "Poor But-
terfly," Hubbell's successful number in this
year's "Big Show."
Ted Barron, just to show lie is ambitious, has
completed the score for a new opera.
