Century Music Pub. Co.
CHICAGO, I I I . , April 29.—Three of the five great-
est men in the history of humanity are living
now, Northwestern University students believe.
They are Irving Berlin, the greatest musician of
all times; Thomas A. Edison, king of scientists,
and (ieorgc Bernard Shaw, first among philos-
ophers.
Answering a test questionnaire put to them by
Prof. A. J. Snow, 120 seniors and juniors credit
the past with only two first-raters. Shakespeare,
they admitted, did more for literature than Avery
llopwood, and Michelangelo was rated better
than "Ding" in art. But Beethoven and Mozart
were poor seconds to the jazz king in the vote
on music. Shaw knocked Plato in the first round
of the philosophy championship and Edison made
Galileo and Isaac Newton look like backwoods
scientists.
"A college professor evidently can learn a lot
from his students," said Prof. Snow, in announc-
ing the outcome of the vote.

AN OPINION ON RADIO
BERLIN, May 6.—-"Einsteinia" will take the place
of jazz in the near future. The Berlin Zeitunz
am Mittag announces that, inspired by the Ein-
stein movie explaining the relativity theory, a
well-known Vienna composer, has written an
opera in which he tries to explain relativity
through music.
"If any one person tries to dance according to
the Einstein relativity theory," says the paper,
"he will have to have a committee of friends sur-
rounding him all the time to enable him to dis-
tinguish his arms from his legs."
Copyright Authority Believes Radio Perform-
ances Are Subject to Royalty Payments
Nathan Burkan, the well-known copyright au-
thority, has rendered an opinion on radio to the
American Society of Composers, Authors and
Publishers, stating the performance of copy-
righted songs via wireless constitutes a public
performance for profit and the copyright owners
are entitled to revenue.
Action will shortly be taken by the American
Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers,
with a view to arrange for licenses with the vari-
ous broadcasting stations.
