C. V. Buttleman Elected Vice-President and Harold W. Robinson Secretary and Treasurer—As-

D O S T O N , MASS., February 23.—The Boston
Music Publishers' Association held its an-
nual meeting last week at the Parker House,
its usual place of meeting, and elected as its
new president F. E. Burgstaller, manager of
Carl Fischer, Inc., in this city. There were
nearly forty members and guests present at the
meeting and dinner, where W. Deane Preston,
of the B. F. Wood Co., presided for the last time
as president. A special guest at the head table
was Joseph Glassmacher, of the C. H. Ditsd'n
Co., of New York.
The Association was called upon to take no-
tice of three communications which had been
received from various music organizations, one
of them the Massachusetts Federation of Music
Clubs, relative to discounts on music, and the
letters that had already been sent to the bodies
in which it was stated that the new schedule
was adopted only after giving the matter the
closest study received the endorsement of the
Association's members.
Special reference was made to the admirable
work of Mrs. William Arms Fisher, wife of one
of the Ditson editors, who was the main factor
in putting over Music Week last year", and it
was voted to endorse and co-operate in every
possible way with her work this year, which has
now been under way some time. Mr. Fisher,
in speaking for his wife, said that she is not
confronted this year with the same problems as
last, for while then she had to go out to people,
now the people are coming to her eager to co-
operate in any way they can, which is a great
encouragement.
Clarence A. Woodman, as chairman of the
nominating committee, was called upon to name
the candidates for office. For vice-president,
C. V. Buttleman, of Walter Jacobs, was an-
nounced, and, of course, Harold W. Robinson,
of the Wood Co., for secretary-treasurer.
These received the unanimous approval of the
Association and they were declared elected.
At the conclusion of the business meeting
Miss Marion Kaye was introduced, and she
gave a budget of inimitable stories, many of
them in dialect. John O'Shea, director of mu-
sic in the Boston public schools and a guest of
the evening, gave an interesting talk on some of
the encouraging developments in music among
pupils, told of the success that is often met with,
and the obstacles that are sometimes encoun-
tered in carrying on the work successfully.
Mr. Burgstaller, the new president, who took
the chair immediately he was declared elected,
thanked the Association for the honor and
promised to give as successful an administra-
tion as possible. He spoke of first becoming
a member of the body back in 1908 at a meet-
ing at the Hotel Lenox, and how he had been
interested in all that the Association had done
ever since that time.

Sloane Has Second New Show
Hammerstein-Quinn, Inc., announce the pro-
duction of a new musical comedy called "When
Summer Comes," a piece constructed along the
now happily established lines of a book with
a real story and music that have no relation to
jazz.
An excellent cast has been assembled.
The "book" is by Jack Arnold and the music
by A. Baldwin Sloane. The music of "When
Summer Comes" will be published by M. Wit-
mark & Sons.
A temporary branch of the F. A. North Co.,
Philadelphia, has been opened at 413 Washing-
ton street, Cape May, N. J., for the purpose of
handling the firm's Spring business.
