Byron Gay, the composer and author of "The
Vamp," "Little Ford Rambled Right Along,"
"Fate," "Oh," "Sanddunes" and other successes,
is sending forth propaganda suggesting that a
test case be made of the Copyright Law of
1909 which arbitrarily imposes a royalty of 2
cents per title on mechanical recordings. It is
his contention that the present law does not
give a monopoly to the composer as intended
and that the fact that once permission is given
for mechanical rendition any manufacturer can
record the number by the payment of 2 cents
royalty per record proves his case. He fur-
ther contends that competition for the use of
musical numbers for mechanical reproduction
purposes would work to the advantage of rec-
ord manufacturers by giving them limited rights
for periods on exclusive material.

Gallo Opera in New York
Fortune Gallo, grand opera impresario, will
present his opera company to New York this
year at the Manhattan Opera House, according
to present plans, as it is expected that "The
Miracle" will still be in the Century when the
Gallo season rolls around. Last year Gallo gave
five weeks in the Century to big grosses.
There will also be two Gallo opera companies
on tour this year, at least. One will be North
and the other South, each with a full roster of
principals and chorus.
A pre-season engagement for one week only
will be played the week of August 11 for the
Asheville, N. C, Music Festival. This week is
guaranteed to Gallo. Formerly the Philadelphia
Symphony was called upon to be the high light
of this celebration.

Gets Sousa Musical Library
WASHINGTON, I). C, August 1.—The Library of
Congress is to get the John Philip Sousa Musi-
cal Library. On a report from Philadelphia
that the March King was to give all of his
musical collection to libraries throughout the
country, reserving most of it for the Library
of Congress, the news was received here with
gratification by Carl Engel and his co-workers
in the music division. It is planned to make a
special exhibit of it.
Reverts Back to Author
Maude Nugent's "Sweet Rosie O'Grady,"
which has been in the catalog of the Edward
B. Marks Music Co., recently reverted back to
the author with the expiration of the original
copyright. The number continues in popularity
and has become a standard seller. • It will, it is
understood, be placed in the catalog of the
highest bidder.
