STRANSKY ON RAGTIME
Prominent Conductor Says Ragtime Is Pecu-
liarly American in Origin
Joseph Stransky, well-known conductor, talk-
ing for publication on the subject of ragtime,
recently said: "We cannot afford to overlook
ragtime as it is related to American music. A
good many people are wont to depreciate its
value just because it is popular. That is the
very reason we cannot overlook it. It is the
people who originate the type of all national
music. America has as yet developed no charac-
teristic music of its own, but if we wish to
search for the source from which this evolution
will spring we shall not find it in the works of
native musicians no matter how talented they
are, if they derive their inspiration from com-
posers of other lands. The first thing signifi-
cant in the development of national music is
rhythm, and ragtime is still America's rhythm."
SAM FOX IN NEW YORK
Attractive Display of M. Witmark & Sons
given tin's unusual publicity in conjunction with
the presentation at the Isis Theatre of the Vita-
graph photoplay of the same name.
The window in question is most artistically
arranged and shows "My Wild Irish Rose" in
sheet music, record and music roll form, the
Brunswick and Columbia records and the Q R S
music rolls of the number being artistically
placed in the display. "My Wild Irish Rose,"
in picture form, has been quite successful, play-
ing during the past few months in all parts of
the country, and although the composition is
not by any means new, having been part of the
Black and White Series of the M. Witmark &
Visits Manhattan Headquarters Prior to Starting
for the Coast
Sam Fox, head of the Sam Fox Pub. Co.,
spent a few days at the New York offices of "his
firm during the latter part of the week. Mr.
Fox was scheduled for a visit to the Pacific
Coast, but this has been delayed owing to the
fact that the Fox catalog is showing unusual
activity and this has brought up a great number
of details in relation to the sales and exploita-
tion. The number of successes in this season's
Fox catalog, which includes fox-trots, ballads,
novelties, was never larger.
THE BRITISH MARKET
Free-lance Songwriters Finding Good Field for
Their Compositions in England
LONDON, ENGLAND, September 5.—With the popu-
lar song business in the sad state it now is as far
as it concerns the free-lance writer, there is a
decided likelihood American songsters may turn
to England as a haven of financial recuperation.
The British public for long has been receptive
to American popular songs and songwriters.
Nat D. Ayer had one hit to his credit in America
at the time he took up residence in London.
Now he is one of the foremost popular song
and revue writers. The Two Bobs (Bob Alden
and Bob Adams) fifteen years ago were song
pluggers for Remick. They are now of the
foremost writers and comedians in England.
Pete Bernard, a popular British comedian, is
cashing in on this angle just now by suddenly
entering the music publishing business with a
catalog of songs that Jack Mahoney has mailed
him from New York. They are comedy tunes
and reported in great demand over there be-
cause of their lyrical value, with the result
Mahoney has been ordered to write some fifteen
to twenty extra choruses to each song.
For some reason, the songwriters argue, the
publisher doesn't know what the public wants.
There, are so many of them and their argu-
ments are so decided that this accusation against
a firm that is supposed to be the go-between the
public and the songwriters must be considered.
They point out that despite all the "blues"
and dance hits, Carrie Jacobs-Bond, Theodore
Presser, of Pittsburgh, G. Schirmer, Ditson and
other standard publishers report big trade.
One objector to the craze for dance tunes
states that the public doesn't hear tunes any
more; they hear arrangements. When a pros-
pective purchaser is struck with a Whiteman
recording he or she finds the sheet music copy
differs radically.

Century Music Pub. Co.
235 West 40th St.
The annual George White "Scandals" opened
in New York the last week in August and
apparently it is to have its usual popularity.
The music in the present production is of par-
ticular importance and it can be said that there
is at least one song of hit caliber; that is, "I
Found a Four-Leaf Clover." The book of the
new "Scandals" is by Andy Rice and George
White and the production is staged by Mr.
White. The lyrics, however, are by the well-
known B. G. DeSylva, and the music is from
the pen of the equally well-known George
Gershwin and includes such titles as "Argen-
tine," "Cinderelatives," "She Hangs Out in Our
Alley," "Where Is the Man of My Dreams?"
and "I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise." Harms,
Inc., is the publisher oi the above numbers as
well as of the rest of the score.
