TELL TAYLOR SUED BY PARTNER
Chicago Music Publisher Made Defendant in Injunc-
tion and Accounting Proceedings.
Tell Taylor, of the firm known as Tell Taylor,
Music Publisher, 177 North State street, is defendant
in a suit for injunction and accounting filed in Supe-
rior court by his partner, Louis ("Lou") Sievers.
The latter says in his bill that he entered into a
partnership with Taylor in May, 1926, on an equal
share basis with listed eleven popular songs they were
to publish. Last May, he says, he was relieved tem-
porarily of his duties by Taylor, who was to collect
outstanding credits. He charges that Taylor failed
to account for all his collections, including royalties
on music rolls and records of songs. The injunction
is asked in order to restrain Taylor from making fur-
ther contracts and collections.

CONTEST VERSES DISAPPOINT
Unrequited Love Theme of Many Aspirants for
Prizes in Glee Club Contest.
A dismal picture of the typical American song poet
as a forlorn Mid-Western youth pouring out the ta!e
of his unrequited love or his woes over the loss of
the old family home, is reflected in the songs and
poems submitted to the Associated Glee Clubs of
America in a contest to obtain new material for
choral singing.
The character of the writings show the young men
as interested far more in sorrowing and deserted
mothers and the humble love of the children of the
fields than in martial tunes with which to lead a regi-
ment to the fray. This typical youth, who, according
to the postmarks, lives, mostly in the Midd'e W r est,
spends much of his time, if one is to judge by his
poetic efforts, in looking with a somewhat jaundiced
eye and sour mien at a misunderstanding world.
Probably prohibition is the reason why there is
only one rollicking drinking song among the first
163 compositions submitted. Another indication of
the national trend of thought is that Lindbergh,
whose flight quickly inspired so much ''poetry," is
MUSICIANS' CLUBROOM.
A large room in the basement of the Knight-Camp-
bell Music Co. store at 1625 California street, Den-
ver, Colo., has been made into a clubroom for pro-
fessional musicians. The room has been fitted up
with a piano and phonograph and an assortment of
records. Adjoining it are four small rooms. Mem-
bership is open to all local professional musicians
gratis. The clubrooms were formerly opened re-
cently, when Tommy Watkins and his fifteen-piece
orchestra from Eiitch's Gardens played a program of
popular music from 11 :30 a. m. to 2 p. m.
