Well-Known Song Writers to Enter Publishing
Field on Their Own Account
', L. Wolfe Gilbert, well-known and success-
ful song writer, and professional manager of
Jos. W. Stern & Co., together with his writing
partner, Anatol Friedland, have severed their
connection with that company and have arranged
to publish music on their own account under
the firm name of Gilbert & Friedland. The new
concern will open offices as soon as a suitable
location can be found, and their ability as song
writers, together with their wide acquaintance
in trade and professional circles, should insure
their success.

held in Boston, which was celebrated by the
A. J. Stasny Music Co. when they featured their
big song hit "When Yankee Doodle Learns to
Parlez Vous Francais," a large number of music

assisted materially in making it so. Wm. W.
Blair, manager of the store, co-operated in
every way possible, and Miss Bessie Ramsdell,

Resigns From Society of Authors, Composers
and Publishers and Gives Reasons
Harry Von Tilzer, head of the Harry Von
Tilzer Music Co., has resigned as a member of
the Society of Authors, Composers and Pub-
lishers, which organization was formed some
time ago to collect royalties for performing
rights of the music of its members in various

and his membership therein caused him to lose
business, owing to the fact that the exploita-
tion of. his songs was limited thereby.

"Book of Songs of the Soldiers and Sailors,"
and it is also being played by numerous military
bands.

BERT WILLIAMS HAS CLEVER SONG
PUBLISH "CHIMES OF NORMANDY"
Bert Williams, the foremost colored comedian,
who is playing in "Ziegfeld Follies" now on tour,
has apparently found one of the best vehicles
for his inimitable brand of humor in the song
"I Ain't Married No More," written by Ren-
r.old Wolf and Les Copeland. It is proving
one of the most popular songs used by him for
some time, judging from the.laughter it receives.
M. Witmark & Sons are the publishers. £&'•
T. B. Harms & Francis, Day & Hunter have
published a new wartime song by Alfred Bryan
and Jack Wells, under the title of "Chimes of
Normandy." The number is already being fea-
