DEALERS' ASSOCIATION MEETS
Local Retailers Reach Decision on Price of Re-
prints at Monthly Session—Making Live
Plans for Future Organization Work
The regular monthly meeting of the Music
Dealers' Association of New York was held on
Thursday evening, April 19, at 100 West 116th
street. The meeting was opened by a short
address by Theodore Arison, president of the
association, which was followed by a general
discussion of the necessity of having a standard
price on reprints, resulting in a decision after
a vote had been taken of making the price of
reprints one-half off to the general public and
one-half and twenty off to the profession.
The meeting was quite an enthusiastic one,
and from the reports of the committees the
organization is making great progress. It was
decided by the officers of the association to hold
an executive session shortly after which they
will decide on some future moves that will have
far reaching effects on the policy of the body.

graphic Record Co., Albany, N. Y., from mak-

royalties provided by law for mechanical re-
production are paid on former sales of records.
It is charged that the defendant company,
the Indestructible Phonographic Record Co.,
has, for the past six years, been making cylinder
talking machine records and distributing them
to the public throughout various mail order
concerns, and has not made proper royalty
statements to the music publishers. It is in-
timated that other publishers will follow the
Feist house in taking action.
Further details regarding the case will be
found in another section of The Review.

PUBLISHERS FAVOR USE OF STAMPS
In Agreements With Music Roll Manufactur-
ers, Members of Trade Appear Insistent
Upon Adoption of Royalty Stamps on Rolls
Although the music publishers and music roll
manufacturers were unable to reach a formal
agreement regarding the use of song words on
music rolls it is apparent that the publishers
for the most part are much in favor of the use
of royalty stamps, and in their agreements with
the roll manufacturers as individuals are quite
insistent on that point. Moreover, there are
quite a number of publishers who are not in-
clined to release their word rights with any de-
gree of freedom, even at the royalty rates upon
which the majority of them were agreed. In
short, the necessity for individual dickering has
apparently worked to the disadvantage of both
interests.

Noted Artists to Appear at Annual Affair to Be

Music lovers in large numbers have been at-
tracted to the warerooms of the Lauter Piano
Co., on Broad street, Newark, N. J., during the
past week owing to the fact that that store
was the headquarters for the sale of tickets for
the Annual Music Festival which will be held
at the First Regiment Armory on May 1 and 3.
The distinguished artists who will appear this
year include John McCormack, noted tenor;
Amelita Galli-Curci, new soprano sensation, and
Eugene Ysaye, the celebrated Belgian violinist.
There will also be an orchestra of 10O and a
chorus of 800.

Quarterly Sessions Scheduled for May 22 to Be
Held on June 11, When Music Dealers' Asso-
ciation Is in Convention
At a special meeting of the Greater New York
Music Publishers' & Dealers' Association held
at Keen's Chop House on- Wednesday of this
week, it was decided as a result of representa-
tions made by various members that the reg-
ular quarterly meeting and dinner of the asso-
ciation, which is scheduled to be held on May
22, be postponed until June 11, at which time
the members of the National Association of
Sheet Music Dealers will be in convention in
New York,
It is believed by J^e local music
men that the holding of the tegular association
dinner during the convention will provide an ex-
cellent opportunity for entertaining the visitors.
The weekly luncheons of the association con-
tinue to hold the interest of the members, and
there is hardly a Wednesday when at least a
score of music publishers and their friends are
not to be found at Keen's at the luncheon hour.
FEIST SONG I1NTPAJRIOTIC RALLY
"If I Had a Son for Each Star in Old Glory"
Sung in Seattle Celebration by Monte Austin
and Proves a Great Success
Seattle, Wash., held a patriotic rally on Sat-
urday, April 7, and from a report which appeared
in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer on that day it
was a great success. Among other features of
the report was an item referring to Monte
Austin, of the staff of Leo Feist, Inc., who it
appears, was an attraction at several of the
street meetings, where he drew large crowds
with the patriotic song, "If I Had a Son for
Each Star in Old Glory, Uncle Sam, I'd Give
Them All to You."
Monte Austin, it will be
remembered, achieved renown by his rendition
of the well-known song, "We'll Build a Little
Home in the U. S. A.," from the Tower of
Jewels at the Panama-Pacinc Exposition in San
Francisco on Liberty Bell day.
TAKE OVER G^SCHIRMER, LTD.
The old established house of G. Schirmer,
Ltd., London, has been taken over by Winthrop
Rogers, Ltd., who will continue the business in
Great Britain and also act as British represen-
tative for G. Schirmer, Inc., New York, and the
Boston Music Co., Boston.
Will E. Skidmore has another big hit to fol-
low "Pray for the Lights to Go Out." It is "It
Takes a Long, Tall Brownskin Gal to Make a
Preacher Lay His Bible Down." It is rapidly
establishing itself as the biggest of all coon-
shout hits.
It is published by Jos. W. Stern
