Off on De Luxe Motor Trip
Roger Wolfe Kahn, the orchestra leader, com-
poser and record artist, and his personal repre-
sentative, George D. Lottman, leave Saturday
on a cross-country motor trip, with Los An-
geles as their destination.
Kahn and Lottman will use as their convey-
ance a specially built and equipped Marmon
closed car, constructed originally for Mrs. A.
H. Woods, wife of the theatrical producer, and
containing practically every necessity for camp-
ing purposes, from a shower-bath attachment
to an electric refrigerator and a complete
kitchen. They will be gone for about six
weeks, returning shortly before the opening of

Singers Dispute Rights
to Sing Berlin Song
Joyce Barbour and Nora Bayes Each Claim
Exclusive Right to Sing "Gentlemen Prefer
Blondes"
The importance of present-day songs from
the pen of Irving Berlin has been again demon-
strated through the dispute of an American
and English singing artist over the privilege of
exclusively singing Berlin's newest song,
"Gentlemen Prefer Blondes."
According to reports from London, Joyce
Barbour and Nora Bayes announce that they
will sing the song in rival productions soon to
be produced there. Miss Barbour's manager
declares Berlin presented the English rights to
her as a birthday present. On the other hand
Miss Bayes is understood to have acquired the
rights from Berlin's publishers. Exclusive
rights to the song are also claimed by a London
producer who intends to include it in one of his
coming revues.
Carl Fischer Adds to
"Playhouse Music Series"
Six New Volumes Appear in Well-known Edi-
tion for Use in Moving Picture Theatres
Carl Fischer, Inc., has added six new volumes
to its "Playhouse Music Series." These are
especially selected compilations approved by
important musicians in the motion picture field.
Special stress has been laid on simplicity so
that the average pianist can play these selec-
tions without difficulty. The volumes include
the types of music that have been found ap-
propriate for the photoplay pianists and while
all of them are original and modern in char-
acter, they thoroughly cover all general needs.
A large proportion of this series is of copy-
righted music which certainly should add to its
value.
Ed. Christy, manager of the mechanical re-
production division of Irving Berlin, Inc., will
shortly return to New York following a vaca-
tion spent in Maine. Mr. Christy spent most
of his time fishing and promises to bring back
some irrefutable evidence of his luck and tech-
