THE
BOSTON MUSIC TRADE TO DINE
Next Dinner of Local Association to Be Held
in December—Ditson Co. Pleased With Khaki
Song Book—Good Issue of the Musician
BOSTON,
MASS.,
November 28.—Clarence A.
Woodman of the Oliver Ditson Co., W. M.
Bacon of the White Smith Music Publishing
Co. and Henry R. Austin, of the Arthur P.
Schmidt Co. are home from New York, where
they went to attend the meeting of the direc-
tors of the National Music Publishers' Asso-
ciation. One learns at this end that the matter
of the reprinting of German copyrights and non-
copyrights was gone into at some length and
this was especially interesting to the Boston
publishers present, as this same matter was
brought forward at the meeting of the Boston
Music Publishers' Association at the Parker
House October 9, on which occasion it was
the unanimous decision to have nothing to
do with the printing of German copyrights;
but after the Government stepped in and as-
sumed control of the situation this placed a dif-
ferent aspect on the situation. It was of spe-
cial interest at this end that at the New York
directors' meeting the action taken followed
that of the Boston association.
The next dinner of the Boston Music Trade
Association is to be held on the second Mon-
day in December, probably at the Parker House,
as usual. As there will be some live matters
taken up for consideration there is likely to
be a large attendance. The October meeting is
still being talked about as one of the liveliest
ones held by this organization in a long time.
The Oliver Ditson Co. reports that the Khaki
song book put out by this house a few weeks
ago is meeting with most pronounced success,
and dealers are more than pleased with it. It
is especially popular at the various camps. The
Ditson house has just issued two new volumes
in the Musicians' Library series. They are vol-
umes 1 and 2 in "One Hundred Songs by Ten
Masters." They are edited by Henry T. Finck
and are likely to be immensely popular. A
Christmas feature of this house is "A Christmas
MUSIC TRADE
REVIEW
Carol Service," which has been carefully gotten
up and which already has made a. strong ap-
peal to clergymen and choir masters. The
Christmas number of The Musician is out in an
appropriate holiday dress and is full as usual
with good articles and first-class vocal and in-
strumental music.
$78,000 PAID IN ROYALTIES
American Society of Authors, Composers and
Publishers Realized That Sum in 1916—Expect
to Collect $5,000,000 Annually
In connection with the testimony given in a
suit brought against the American Society of
Authors, Composers and Publishers, it was an-
nounced that the society last year collected
$78,000 from 1,100 licenses issued to hotels,
cabarets, motion picture theatres, etc., for the
performing rights of the music of its members.
The French Society, after which the American
organization is patterned, collected over three
million dollars in royalties from its members
in 1913, the year before the war, and based on
those figures the American Society expects to
collect over five million dollars annually when
its rights are proven.
TWO STRONG CHAPPELL NUMBERS
"Roses of Picardy" and "Tho* the Road Be
Long, Hum a Little Song," Both Proving Tre-
mendous Successes Abroad
Chappell & Co. have just started a big cam-
paign with two songs that are tremendously
popular on the other side at the present time.
The most popular of the two numbers is "Roses
of Picardy," music by Haydn Wood and words
by Fred E. Weatherly. After the wonderful
success of Haydn Wood's two songs—"Love's
Garden of Roses" and "It Is Only a Tiny Gar-
den," he had the supreme luck to follow up with
a third winner.
The combination of Messrs. Wood and
Weatherly in the production of a song should
be a sufficient guarantee of its quality. The

lyric as a poem alone is a gem, and the music,
of the simple sincere sort, has made it phe-
nomenally popular abroad.
The lyrics of
"Roses of Picardy" are as follows:
"She is watching by the poplars,
Colinette with the sea-blue eyes,
She is watching and longing and waiting
Where the long white roadway lies.
And a song stirs in the silence,
As the wind in the boughs above,
She listens and starts and trembles,
'Tis the first song of love.
"Roses are shining in Picardy,
In the hush of the silver dew,
Roses are flow'ring in Picardy,
But there's never a rose like you!
And the roses will die with the summertime.
And our roads be far apart,
But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy
'Tis the rose that I keep in my heart!"
The other number, "Tho' the Road Be Long,
Hum a Little Song," the words by Percy Link-
son, and music by Lois Barker, is of an entirely
different nature, and is expected to prove a suc-
cessor to "Keep the Home Fires Burning" as a
marching song. It resembles in the spirit mani-
fested the big success, "Pack Up Your Trou-
bles in Your Old Kit Bag."
