-
The annual competition for the Clemson gold
medal (value $50) and an additional prize of $50
given by the H. W. Gray Co. (agents for No-
vello & Co.) is announced under the following
conditions: The competition is open to all musi-
cians residing in the United States or Canada,
whether members of the guild or not. The
prizes will be awarded to the composer of the
best anthem submitted, provided it is of suf-
ficient all-around excellence. The text, which
must be English, may be selected by the com-
poser, but the anthem must be of reasonable
length (six to eight printed pages of octavo),
and it must have a free accompaniment. Only
one anthem may be submitted by each competi-
tor, and a successful competitor shall not be
eligible for re-entry. The manuscript, signed
with a nom de plume or motto, and with the
same inscription upon a sealed envelope con-
taining the composer's name and address, must
be sent to the general secretary, 90 Trinity
place, New York, not later than December 1,
1919. To insure return of manuscripts stamps
should be enclosed. The successful composition
becomes the absolute property of the guild and
will be published by the H. W. Gray Co. The
adjudicators will be Walter J. Clemson, R. Hunt-
ington Woodman and Samuel A. Baldwin.
AN UNUSUAL BIT OF PLUGGING
One of the most unique "plugs" a song has
ever received was given to "Old Fashioned Gar-
den," one of the numbers in Raymond Hitch-
cock's music review, "Hitchy Koo, Edition of
1919." This took place at Atlantic City, where
forty of the chorus girls from the Hitchcock
show simultaneously sang the number from vari-
ous points on the beach. That this method of
introducing the words and melody was most
successful was proven by the demands the sheet
music dealers of Atlantic City felt for the num-
ber during the following days.
New York
A new music store has been opened in Tren-
ton, N. J., by Elmer Fouratt, at 234 East State
street, in which a complete line of pianos and
all kinds of musical instruments, music rolls
and sheet music will be carried. It is the inten-
tion to have the latest sheet music available
to Trenton music lovers as soon as it appears.
Speaking of the sheet music situation Mr.
Fouratt says that Trenton has been unfairly
treated for some time by the metropolitan music
publishers, new numbers not being sold in this
city until some time after they have made their
initial appearance in New York and Philadel-
phia. This condition Mr. Fouratt declares he
will correct by arranging to bring new music
here fresh off the press.
Another feature of Mr. Fouratt's business will
be the demonstration of all new songs. Mr.
Fouratt will gladly sing any new song to those
interested in hearing them and Miss Edna La
Motte will play any piano selection.
ORGANIZED TO_PUBLISH MUSIC
The International Music Producing Co., In-
dianapolis, lnd., will shortly be incorporated with
capital stock of $500,000, to engage in the bus-
iness of music publishing. The officers of the
new company will be Farquson Johnson, presi-
dent; H. H. Hayner, first vice-president; Frank
Swift, second vice-president; Claude L. Barker,
secretary, and Charles W. Swift, treasurer.
'PSALM OF LIFrT_SET TO MUSIC
"A Psalm of Life" is the title of a new song
with music by Edward J. Holthusen. The music
i < set to the words of the poem of the same
name by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The
number is published by Edward J. Holthusen,
566 Park street, Elgin, 111.
Leo Feist, Inc., just released a new song,
entitled "There's a Lot of Blue-eyed Marys
Down in Maryland," words are by Jack Yelleu
and Milton Ager, the music by Geo. W. Meyer.
There is only one hit from
"Ziegfeld's Follies of 1919"
