Some time ago there 'appeared in these col-
umns an article' in which the popularity of
American compositions in European capitals
was commented upon. A description of Ameri-
can publishers' successes in those territories
appeared, and the recognition American works
were having in general. It was shown that
American publications had taken a position
which bids fair to make them active and suc^
cessful competitors against European composi-
tions for sales on the other side.
Since the appearance of the article in ques-
tion there has come into our hands a dance
program of the Astor House Hotel, Shanghai,
China. The numbers appearing in the program
include four from the catalog of Leo Feist, Inc.,
one from Fred Fisher, Inc., one from the Arthur
Fifer Music Publishing Co., one from the Broad-
w.ay Music Corp. and others. The numbers
listed include: "Ching-a-Ling's Jazz Bazaar,"
"Honolulu Eyes," "When the Sun Goes Down
in Cairo Town," "When My Baby Smiles at
Me," "Orange Blossom Rag," "Hush-a-Bye
Land," "Pals" and! "Oh, by Jingo."

PREPARE NEW DISPLAY MATERIAL
Hinds, Hayden & Eldrid'ge, the well-known
New York publishers, who during the past few
months have been running a publicity campaign
on several of their numbers, including "When
Your Ship Comes In" and "In the Afterglow,"
have just issued some special display material
which, though it is produced for the sheet music
trade, proves very effective material for talking
machine dealers. With this in mind, the above
publishers have announced to the trade, particu-
larly to Victor dealers, that they will gladly fur-
nish such material gratis.

SAYS JAZZ IS "MULATTO MUSIC"

REVIEW
comedy, of spontaneous comedy. The players
get more fun out of the variations introduced
than does the auditor.
"But this spontaneous musical humor loses
its charm when the white man steps in with
artificial and premeditated syncopations. The
fun of the jazz loses its humor when it becomes
stereotyped and is written into the score.
"Jazz should be natural, or it should not be
at all. Jazz by negroes is music. Jazz by white
men is an annoyance. The black and white do
not mix well. When white men write or per-
form black music we get mulatto music, with
the sins of both the white and black music, and
without the virtues of either."
In a recent editorial in the New York World
characterizing the brand of "jazz" that is being
offered the American public at present as
"mulatto music," the writer takes occasion to
comment as follows upon that particular form
of so-called harmony:
"An English music critic finds that 'jazz' is,
for the most part, fully as bad as it is painted.
In the exception lie makes a distinction worthy
of consideration.
" 'Jazz' in its original form is an outgrowth
of the negro love for syncopation. It is per- SECURE ENGLISH RIGHTS FOR SONG
fectly natural and unaffected. As this critic
Chappell & Harms, Inc., have just taken over
says, it is not characterized by 'vulgarity and
bizarreness.' Jazz has in itself an element of the English rights to the big hit, ''Cuban Moon,"
published by Jack Mills, Inc. In addition they
have also secured the English rights to the suc-
cessful numbers "Pretty Little Cinderella,"
"Manyana" and "You Ought to See Her Now."

OCTOBER DEATH OF PROF. MAX BRUCH
Noted German Composer Passes Away at His
Home in Berlin on Sunday
Prof. Max Bruch, the famous composer of
Berlin, died at his home in that city on Sunday,
aged eighty-three, according to dispatches from
Berlin this week. Brooding over the loss of the
war is said to have hastened the end.
According to friends, Prof. Bruch leaves an
interesting musical estate, including manuscript
scores of two unpublished comic operas, dating
from his best period, "Jery and Baertely" and
"Arlaudine of Villa Bella." To the day of his
death Prof. Bruch refused to permit these to be
produced or published, but said that he did not
care what happened to them after death.
