PITTSBURGH, PA., May 10.—Some very excellent
sheet music from the press of the Sam Fox Pub.
Co., of Cleveland and New York, has been placed
on the market here and is meeting with unusual
success. Among the selections that are proving
extremely popular are "Adoration," a love rhap-
sody, by Wilson G. Smith, words by Ina Bre-
voort Roberts; "My Heart Is Waiting," words
and music by Clifford G. Roberts; "Only a
Smile," words by Eldred Edson and music by
J. S. Zamecnik; "The Magic Hour," words by
Nina Almirall, music by Marion Rogers; "Heart's
Delight," a new art song, also a Fox feature, by
James H. Rogers, with words by Fi'ed G.
Bowles. Its theme, its melody, and its interpre-
tative qualities combine to make "Heart's De-
light" one of the most beautiful songs written
by this eminent American composer. It is an
excellent art song for concerts, recitals and
teaching.
Walter Scanlan, the well-known Irish song-
ster, spent last week at the Davis Theatre, and
was heard by large and appreciative audiences.
Some of the songs that made a hit were "Kath-
leen," "Judy," "The Road to Love," "My Lady
Rose" and "Mavourneen."
Following the settlement recently made by
D. W. Griffith with the publishing houses of G.
Schirmer, Inc., Carl Fischer, Sam Fox Pub. Co.
and Ross Jungnickel for the unauthorized use of
copyrighted musical compositions, a similar set-
tlement was made by the Famous Players-
Lasky Corp. with the same publishing houses,
it is announced.
In the past few years much copyrighted music
has been misappropriated by certain large mo-
tion picture corporations in the compiling of their
music scores and only recently steps were taken

BOSTON, MASS., May 13.—D'Auvergne Barnard,
the London, England, representative of the B. F.
Wood Co., Boston music publishers, is expected
in this country toward the end of the month.
He will sail on the "Samaria" May 17 from Liv-
erpool and will arrive here on the 25th. At one
time Mr. Barnard used to come over here rather
often, but, because of the war, it is now seven
years since he was in the United States. He
will stay here several weeks.

Easthope Martin's new quartet cycle, "The
Mountebanks," was programed by the Artone
