THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
1920
CONDUCTED BY V. D. WALSH
COPYRIGHT TIME NOW EXTENDED
Great Britain Will Make Date Conform to
Proclamation of Peace in the U. S.
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 12.—American authors,
under a reciprocal plan of the United States and
Great Britain, are to enjoy copyright privileges
in Great Britain for their works which are pub-
lished not later than six months after the actual
termination of the war between all the Central
Powers and the British Government, a date
which must be hereafter determined.
British subjects, reciprocally, enjoy copyright
privileges in- the United States by virtue of the
President's copyright proclamation of April 10,
1920, provided they comply with the American
copyright laws, and such compliance must be
before the expiration of fifteen months after
the date when the President issues his procla-
mation of peace.
Although American publication rights in
Great Britain are conditioned upon publication
of the work not later than six months after
"termination of the war" as hereafter to be fixed
by the British Government, the latter govern-
ment has assured the United States that if it
should happen that the date of termination of
the war when so fixed by Great Britain falls
in advance of the President's peace proclama-
tion Great Britain then will be prepared to
take the necessary steps to substitute for the
expression "termination of the war" a date cor-
responding to whatever may be the date of
the President's peace proclamation.

for Forthcoming Production of "Rubaiyat"
The home of Forster, Music Publisher, Inc.,
235 South Wabash avenue, Chicago, 111., recently
underwent alterations following which a most
attractive hall to be known as the Forster Re-
cital Hall was opened. It has a seating capacity
of 154 and is equipped with a large stage. Much
attention was given to the acoustics and the fur-
nishings.
This firm recently announced the purchase of
three new songs entitled "Out Where the West
Begins," words by Arthur Chapman, music by
Kstelle Philleo; "Roundup Lullaby," words by
Badger Clark, music by Estelle Philleo; "Trails,"
words from "Time-worn Trails," music by Es-
telle Philleo. All are songs of the West with
a spirit of that country and have been receiv-
ing high praise from music critics. "Out Where
the West Begins," as a poem, is known every-
where. The songs were purchased of Miss M.
St. Vrain Sanford, the publisher, who with Miss
Philleo is spending the Summer at Greeley, Colo.
The deal was consummated following negotia-
tions carried on over the long-distance phone.
Mr. Forster will exploit these new issues in a
large way, and is now planning an advertising
campaign in their interest.
Charles Wakefield Cadman, the noted Amer-
ican composer, is writing a complete musical
score for Ferdinand Earle's forthcoming screen
production of "The Rubaiyat" of Omar Khay-
yam.
Mr. Cadman, who is perhaps best known for
his songs, "At Dawning" and "The Land of the
Sky Blue Water," has already completed sev-
eral original orchestral numbers for the picture
as well as a rousing Oriental prelude, embodying
the grandeur and mysterious charm of medieval
Persia, and is creating a new and lasting type
of tonal art—what may be called a "voiceless
opera."
Throughout the shifting scenes of this Ori-
ental picture. Mr. Cadman will strive to interpret
in his characteristic musical idiom the varying
poetical atmosphere of the settings, as well as
the colorful dramatic episodes continued in the
story.
