Four of Witmark's Songs
That Are Popular Hits
"Hugo," "How My Sweetie Loves Me," "Since
Ma Is Playing Mah Jong" and "California,
Here I Come" Are Proving Widely Popular
M. Witmark & Sons have popular songs
which are establishing records as successes.
One of the outstanding of these is "Hugo," de-
scribed as an irresponsible ditty, popular with
vaudevillians and programmed frequently as a
fox-trot by orchestras. The writer of this num-
ber is Abner Silver, who was responsible for
"Bebe." The second in this list is "How
My Sweetie Loves Me," originally intro-
duced by Nora Bayes, now appearing on the
Orpheum Circuit.
Cissie Loftus, who has
just joined "The Follies," also uses the num-
ber during her vaudeville engagements. The
other two numbers are "Since Ma Is Play-
ing Mah Jong" and "California, Here I Come."
This latter number is featured by Al Jolson.

turned to Buffalo and played at the house where
he achieved his original popularity. Among the
songs being programmed by Malotte and his
wife is the Jerome H. Remick & Co. number,
"Bring Back That Old-Fashioned Waltz," in
which he calls to mind the fact that he is one
of the first to introduce this meritorious song to
the public.
During the recent appearance of the above
duo in Buffalo, the W. T. Grant Co. store in
that city made a special window showing of
"Bring Back That Old-fashioned Waltz," link-
ing up the week's sales drive with Malotte and
Jayne's return engagement. The fact that this
organist is well known to all music lovers in
the city of Buffalo undoubtedly added some-
what to the sales, which were reported as high
during the display.

Bill Would Permit Free
Use of Copyrighted Music
Measure Introduced in Congress by Representa-
tive Newton, of Minnesota, Would Permit
Playing Such Music in Theatres and by Radio
WASHINGTON, D. C, January 29.—Amendment
of the copyright law so as to permit the playing
of copyrighted music in theatres or radio
studios, where the performance is not directly
for profit, without payment of royalties or
license fees, is sought by Representative Walter
H. Newton, of Minnesota, in a bill he has just
introduced in Congress. The measure intro-
duced by Mr. Newton is practically the same
as that introduced on June 21, 1921, by Repre-
sentative Lampert. An effort will be made to
secure early consideration of the bill by the
Committee on Patents, as it is likely to come
to the House this session.
It is the view of Congressman Newton that
the playing of copyright music in a moving
picture theatre or for the radio is, in the first
instance, incidental to the picture that is shown
and, in the second instance, for the benefit of
the public and without remuneration to the
players. Both performances, he holds, help pop-
ularize the music and increase its sales to the
public and he believes that the theatre or radio
studio should not be required to make payment
to the publishers. He also complains that cer-
tain publishers, acting through secret represen-
tatives posing as patrons, have induced theatre
managers to play certain copyrighted music and
then demand payment of the license fee because
of such "unauthorized" rendition.
