MUCH PUBLICITY FOR "SWANEE"
T. B. Harms & Francis, Day & Hunter are
giving much publicity to the song, "Swanee."
Al Jolson and several other prominent stars are
featuring the number, and it apparently gives
more than ordinary promise of being a big hit.
Belle Brooks, of the band and orchestra de-
partment of Gilbert & Friedland, Inc., is back
at her desk, after being confined to her home
for the past two weeks with the "flu."

Authors' League Claims That They Are Divi-
dends and as Such Are Not Taxable
Song writers should be interested in the right
now being made by the members of the Authors'
League to avoid the payment of income tax on
royalties. The argument advanced by the
authors is that the royalties that accrue from
books, short stories, librettos, etc., are dividends
and as such are not subject to tax other than
the surtax when the amount is $5,000 or more.
The members of the League have made formal
protest to the Collector of Internal Revenue,
and his decision will be awaited with interest.
The Collector wants to know whether or not
the authors represent a corporation and if so,
who is going to pay the tax on the dividends at
the source as provided for under the law. Like-
wise he wants to know where the Government
comes in if the claims of the authors are upheld.
SINGING "PICKANINNY BLUES"
John O'Malley, the well-known Irish tenor
now playing the Keith vaudeville circuit, has
added to his repertoire the McKinley Music
Co.'s number, "Pickaninny Blues." This num-
ber, by the way, is very popular as a dance and
is featured by a large number of orchestras.
It has been recorded by practically all the music
roll and talking machine record manufacturing
organizations in the country.
TWO NEW WITMARK NUMBERS
M. Witmark & Sons have just released two new
songs, "Who'll Take the Place of Mary?" and
"Shadows Will Fade Away." The first num-
ber is b.y Alfred Dubin, Clarence Gaskill and
Harry Mayo. The latter number is from the
pens of J. Keirn Brennan and Bert Rule. The
Witmark firm is making an immediate drive-
on the songs in professional circles.
