MAY 22, 1926
The artists appearing in this special presenta-
tion were William Robyn and Gladys Rice, two
of the most popular soloists in the Capitol en-
semble of artists. They, accompanied by the
eighty-piece Capitol Theatre Orchestra, ren-
dered this waltz selection, "A Night of Love,"
in a manner that made it a musical event.
It is unusual for the Capitol Theatre to hoW
any presentation over for a second week, but the
approval that the "A Night of Love" rendition
brought forth from the various audiences justi-
fied Major Bowes, director of the Capitol The-
atre, in extending the time limit.
This is only one of the many presentations
that will be made throughout the country in
leading photoplay houses of "A Night of Love."
In addition, the number is being played fre-
quently by the best orchestras everywhere. It
has been featured by way of radio and it is pro-
grammed regularly in vaudeville.

The Music Publishers' Association of the
United States, in order to hold its annual meet-
ing concurrently with the other music industries
including the coming convention of the National
Association of Sheet Music Dealers, has sched-
uled a regular meeting of its organization for
June 8. This is the intervening date between
the two meeting dates arranged by the dealers'
body.
Owing to its by-laws the Music Publishers'
Association of the United States would under
ordinary circumstances meet on June IS in
order to perform the functions of its annual
meeting. It is tentatively proposed, however,
to schedule a regular meeting on June 8, at
which time it is proposed to amend the constitu-
tion of the Association to make the June 8
gathering the annual official one. If this sched-
uled arrangement fails to pass by vote of that
body, the plans for the regular meeting will be
followed and its actions be ratified at the official
meeting of June 15.
At this time the meeting place of the Music
Publishers' Association of the United States has
not been selected although the greater part of
its plans for that occasion can be announced.
Instead of an annual dinner as heretofore, the
Music Publishers' Association of the United
States will serve a buffet supper at 6 o'clock in
the evening to which will be invited visiting
dealers and the publishers' guests. Later the
publishers' body will have as its guests in the
same evening the visiting dealers at a theatre
party.
Besides the dealer guests, the members of
the Music Publishers' Association of the United
States will be allotted one representative at the
buffet supper and one representative in the
theatre party. Publishers requiring additional
reservations for any of their own staff for
either the buffet supper or the theatre party, or
both, can arrange for same at so much per
head.
Naturally it will be necessary in order to as-
sure reservations for the theatre party to make
all requirements known early in the day of
June 8, as otherwise there could be no guarantee
that sufficient seats would be held by the the-
atrical management.

Irving Berlin, Inc., has two new additions to
its catalog which have in a short space of time
created popularity for themselves. The num-
bers are "To-night's My Night With Baby" and
"I Found a Round-About Way to Heaven."
The Berlin catalog, according to reports from
all sections of the country, is in heavy demand
despite the fact that reports show that sales on
music counters are somewhat off. This is a
tribute to the merit of these Berlin offerings
and the pains and energy taken by that organ-
