DISAPPOINT RADIO FANS.
Radio fans waited vainly in their homes on
Wednesday night waiting for the opera of "La
Boheme" to be wafted to them by wireless from the
stage of the Auditorium Theater, Chicago, via the
KYW broadcasting station. An announcement was
made that the scheduled opera by radio had been sud-
denly canceled through an unexpected move on the
part of the American representatives of Riccordi &
Co., holders of the copyright of the "La Boheme"
score. The music publishers had claimed that broad-
casting was a violation of the copyright, KYW offi-
cials said. A report that other broadcasting stations
had made strenuous objection to an air monopoly of
several hours each evening was denied. However, it
was said by Walter Evans, operator at the KYW
station, that opera would only be broadcasted two or
at the most three times a week during the remainder
of the Auditorium season.
PATHE PHONOGRAPH & RADIO CO.
The Pathe Freres Phonograph Co. has been reor-
ganized and renamed the Pathe Phonograph & Radio
Co. At the hearing before Federal Judge Edwin L.
Garvin, in New York, last week, the approval by the
judge of two reports of the Special Master made the
reorganization possible. One concerned the sale of
six parcels of real estate and the other concerned the
bid of the reorganization committee for the assets of
the Pathe Freres Phonograph Co. The real estate
was purchased by the new company. At the hearing
U. S. Attorney Howard Osterhout filed a release on
the part of the Government of $147,000 in back taxes
penalties.
DRUMS IN SAN FRANCISCO.
Henry Grobe, 135 Kearney street, San Francisco, is
a musical merchandise dealer who takes a particular
pride in the musical merchandise manufactured in
this country. Among the native products which par-
ticularly evoke his approbation are the drums and
drummers' traps of Ludwig & Ludwig, 1611 North
Lincoln street, Chicago. "The actual merits of the
Ludwig drums are the determining factors that in-
fluence the choice of professional drummers," said
Mr. Grobe last week.

Foundry Assures Perfection of Product.
