Some Snap Shots Taken of the Boston Music
Publishers Upon Their Recent Outing to Bass
Point—Some Pertinent Comments.
(Special to the Review.)
Boston, Mass., Aug. 1, 1911.
Here are some snap-shots showing some of the
members of the Boston Music Publishers' Asso-
ciation in a happy mood. These were taken by
The Review photographer at the occasion of their
1911 outing and dinner, held July 19th at Bass
Point, Nahant, details of which were published
in last week's issue. President Walter M. Bacon,
standing aft on the steamer "Cape Cod," may be
recognized by the compensating El Purito Ropeo
cigar, which he is smoking. Clarence A. Wood-
man, secretary, was "snapped" meditating just be-
fore going aboard ship—what about, no one knows.
Waiter Jacobs will look familiar to the trade of
the country, but the environs won't appear that
way. Someone irreverently refered to the snap-
shot of Win, T. Small, of the B. F. Wood Music
Co., and Henry Winkleman, manager of the Victor
department of the Oliver Ditson Co., as a "half-
shot," but this was taken on the boat before reach-
ing Bass Point; so there's an alibi. It simply
shows that happy countenances aided by ocean
breezes are apt to be misleading. Other photo-
graphs show Charles W. Thompson, H. F. Odelj
and Plenry MacLaren.

were: President Walter M. Bacon, Secretary

WITMARKS GET NEW OPERA.
Jay Witmark While in Berlin, Secures Ameri-
can Rights to the Latest German Success.
Jay Witmark, of M. Witmark & Sons, who is at
present in Berlin, has obtained the American rights
of the latest German operatic success, "Themi-
dore," which was recently performed for the first
time in Munich under the direction of Max Rein-
hardt, the famous Berlin manager. The name of
the operetta, which was composed by Digby La
Touc.he, an Englishman, will be changed to "La
Comtesse Denise."
Mr. Witmark spent the week in Berlin, looking
into the possibilities of placing American composi-
tions, operatic and otherwise, in Europe. He has
opened negotiations with a view of introducing in
Germany Victor Herbert's "Babes in Toyland," and
the same composer's earlier production, "The
Wizard of the Nile."
"American tunes strike the. ear everywhere in
Europe," said Mr. Witmark in an interview. "The
Kaiser's bands have a passion for Sotisa marches,
and orchestras everywhere are playing 'Every Lit-
tle Movement Has a Meaning of Its Own,' from
the Americanized edition of 'Madame Sherry.'
"1 find that Europe is just a little tired of the
eternal Viennese operetta waltz themes, and the
time seems ripe for the introduction of American
ideas on a scale which has hitherto seemed impos-
sible."
THE SHAPIRO PUBLISHING CO.
SOME BOSTON PUBLISHERS SNAPPED AT OUTING.
Following the sale of the entire music publish-
ing business of the late Maurice Shapiro at pub-
lic auction on Thursday of last week, by order
of the executrix, Fanny Shapiro, a corporation
was formed under the laws of the State of New
York to carry on the business under the title of
the Shapiro Music Publishing Co. The new com-
pany is capitalized at $"0,000 and controls all the
stock, fixtures, copyrights and good will of the
house of Shapiro. Louis Bernstein, brother-in-
law of Mr. Shapiro, who bas had charge since
the death of the latter, will still remain at the
head of the business. No changes in staff or
policy have been announced. The incorporators
are G. F, Mattuck, H. Titley and A. B. Stupel.
