NEW CADMAN OPERA IS PRESENTED
"Shanewis" Was Cordially Received at Metro-
politan Opera House Last Saturday
Charles Waketield Cadman's new American
opera "Shanewis," was presented for the first
time at the Metropolitan Opera House on Sat-
urday of last week, and was heard and approved
by a large audience. The opera is based on an
Indian theme with libretto by Nelle Richmond
F.berhardt.
Real Indian themes are used
throughout the piece, although in most cases
given a most delightful operatic coloring. The
music is melodious and fluent, and the instru-
mentation is rich. It is prophesied freely that
the new Cadman opera will enjoy a lasting qual-
ity quite in contrast with the fate of some pre-
vious American operas. The score of the opera
is published by the White-Smith Publishing
Co., of Boston.
COMPOSES NEW MARCH
W. L. Floyd, Crosby, N. D., has composed and
published a new march and two-step entitled
"Peace Forever." It is a composition of con-
siderable merit.
THAT John McCormack, who draws royalties
from the sale of "There"s a Long, Long Trail,"
has been donating them to the Red Cross and
the Knights of Columbus, dividing the amount
equally.
THAT the new Feist patriotic song, "Just as
Washington Crossed the Delaware so Will
Pershing Cross the Rhine" is already featured
by a number of vaudeville acts.
THAT we hope when Pershing crosses the Rhine
it will be in the summer when the ice is not so
thick.
THAT considerable protest is being heard over
the action of the Board of Estimate in setting
aside less than $40,000 for concerts in the parks
and on the piers this summer.
THAT, as one critic aptly says, $100,000 would be
a small enough sum to be spent by the City of
New York for public music.
THAT J. Kiern Brennan, who has written the
lyrics for many successful songs composed by
Ernest Ball, has again returned to the Witmark
staff.

National Vigilance Committee Issues Warning
Regarding Those Who Advertise to Aid Ama-
teur Song Writers for a Consideration
The National Vigilance Committee of the As-
sociated Advertising Clubs of the World, which
makes a specialty of getting after fraudulent ad-
vertisers throughout the country, has issued a
list of ten "Pitfalls of Classified Advertising,"
"pitfall No. 5 being dug by those who advertise
to develop song writers—charging a fee for
setting verses to music and printing and creat-

the amateur song writer had better look out
for the Vigilance Committee will get them.
