The greater part of the classic sheet music
sold in Tampico comes from Germany, whereas
all the dance music, popular songs and some
of the classical music is imported from the
United States, says Consul James B. Stewart,
of Tampico. In commenting on the local mar-
ket for sheet music the manager of the largest
music store in Tampico (a long-established
German house) made the interesting observa-
tion that a few years ago errors, such as mis-
placed notes, etc., were occasionally found in
American sheet music, but this, fortunately, has
been overcome by the exercise of greater care
in proofreading and printing, and American
music is now, and has been for several years,
just as accurate as that which comes from
Germany.

United States Government Undersells German
Composer on Performing Rights Here
Promoters of the Wagnerian Opera Festival,
which a company of Berlin singers will give at
the Manhattan Opera House next month,
learned yesterday of a new way to obtain Ger-
man opera scores from the United States Gov-
ernment.
When they proposed to include
Richard Strauss's "Salome" in their scheme
Dr. Strauss's publishers demanded a guarantee
of ten performances at $500 each. Under these
terms it was decided to omit "Salome" from
the repertoire.
Further inquiry developed that apparently
neither Strauss nor his publishers held the
rights to the opera, which with other property
had been seized during the war and could only
be released by the. Alien Property Custodian.
It was also said that the American official
offered the use of the work for only $35 a night.
Those in charge of the festival have now
applied to Washington and expect in a few
days to reannounce their production of
"Salome."

"THE HUMMING JMRD" COMING EAST
A new comedy with music, in which Maude
Fulton is to be starred, will shortly arrive in
New York after a phenomenal run upon the
Pacific Coast. The metropolitan premiere will
take place late this month at the Ritz Theatre
in New York. It is said that since Miss Fulton's
portrayal of "The Brat" some time ago she has
progressed in her art until she is now con-
sidered in the front rank of American character
artists. The production in which she will ap-
pear in New York is entitled "The Humming
Bird/' The feature musical number of the show
carries the same title and is published by the
Edward B. Marks Music Co.
AL JOLSON SINGING "WHO CARES?"
Among the songs added to the repertoire of
Al Jolson is the ballad "Who Cares?", pub-
lished by Ager, Yellen & Bornstein, Inc. The
number has already had some success as a
novelty fox-trot.
Otto Jordan, of the firm of Harms, Inc., to-
gether with Arthur Bethim, of the professional
staff, will return shortly from a trip visiting
the Chicago offices, where they featured "Love
Sends a Little Gift of Roses."
