THAT while waiting for the fall rush or orders
for the new hits, those regular royalty statements
from the talking machine and music roll manufac-
turers look^ mighty good to the publishers.
1 HAT sometimes those royalties represent the
greatest part of the profit from a song.
THAT several of the music publishers appear to
be ready to take the advice of the syndicate buyer
and reduce office rent and overhead expenses.
1 HAT there is a reason for the prevailing self-
satisfied and happy air about Wal.'er T. Eastman,
manager for Chappell & Co.. Ltd.. in New York.
THAT the reason is Miss Joan Eastman, who dis-
covered America on August 2. 1 *, via New Roche le.
1 HAT one of the small, but progressive local
publishers, is preparing to make his business the
foundation for a new $50,000 corporation in the
near future.
TO THE TRADE
We beg to announce that
Miss Jose Collins
Is singing our two wonder-
ful songs
PEG 0 f MY HEART
and
ISLE D'AMOUR
in the Ziegfeld Follies of
1913.
The success of these two
songs is unquestionable.
The prices are attractive.
THAT one of the new interpolated numbers in
Sam Bernard's show, "All'for the Ladies," is the
song "If a Bee Won't Behave in a Beehive," by
Leo Edwards and Arthur Lamb. The number,
which has met with much success, is published by
Chas. K. Harris.
THAT the enlargement of professional staffs is
one of the real harbingers of fall in the music
business.
THAT certain of the song writers are beginning
to ask who put the soi't pedal on the Knights ot
Harmony.
THAT "A Little Love, A Little Kiss 1 ' (Chappell &
Co.), is proving one of the real hits of the season,
both as a song and as an instrumental number.
THAT the idea of free music for orchestras has
reached a tine point when a leader refused to pay
twenty-five cents for two ten-part selections from
successful operettas.
THAT Howard H. Graham, son of the late Chas.
Graham, the song writer, who was assaulted by-
thugs on August 21, died of his injuries in the
Hudson Street Hospital on Thursday of last week.
THAT Edgar Selden's latest burlesque, "The
Belles of Beauty Row," is proving a genuine suc-
cess in the West, where it is being produced under
the direction of Henry B. Dixon, with Erankie.
Heath and Harry Levan in the principal roles.
THAT the fact that the play was written while
Mr. Sclden was still suffering from the effects of
his recent automobile accident speaks volumes for
his fortitude.
NEW ACTION OVER "DOLL GIRL."
Jos. W. Stern & Co. Secure Summons for Di-
rectors of T. B. Harms, Francis, Day &
Hunter, in Row Growing Out of Publication
of Interpolated Numbers.
Following the recent suit brought against Ludwig
Dodlinger, of Vienna, Austria, by Joseph W. Stern
& Co., to recover $ol,150 for the alleged violation
of a contract held by the latter to publish, in the
United States, all the music of "The Doll Girl" re-
cently produced here, the same publishers have
secured a summons in the office of the Clerk of
New York County against T. B. Harms, Francis,
Day & Hunter, as well as Max Dreyfus, Louis
Dreyfus and Jerome D. Kern, the directors of the
latter company.
It is stated by the plaintiffs that when "The Doll
Girl" was produced here there were several inter-
polations used in the piece of which Jerome D.
Kern was the composer, and that Stern & Co. were
not given the numbers for publication despite an
alleged contract to that effect. It is also claimed
that T. B. Harms, Francis, Day & Hunter were in-
strumental in placing the interpolations in the piece
through having knowledge of the contract, and
therefore unfair competition is charged.
The two cases, with their many features,
promises to be decidedly interesting to the trade.
If you desire a man for any department of
your service, either for your factoy or for your
selling department, forward your advertisement
to us and it will be inserted free of charge.

Postal Officials After Concerns Who Are Care
less in Their Advertising Statements—Hay-
worth of Washington Held for Grand Jury.
The action of United States Commissioner An.o.i
S. laylor in holding A. 1). llavworth, proprietor
of the Hay worth Music Co., Washington, I). C.
for the action of the Grand Jury on the charge of
using the mails to defraud, indicates that the Gov-
ernment is in earnest in its crusade against music
publishers who resort to shady methods to build
up their business.
I Fayworth was arrested at the instai.ee of post-
office inspectors whose attention had ueen called to
the methods resorted to by the publishing concern.
The company is said to have advertised in phrases
more satisfying than those of a circus press agent,
offering to bring fame, wealth and fortune to musi-
cal composers and lyric writers who placed their
productions in the hands of this company for pub-
lication.
Tt is strongly hinted that the postal authorities
will take action against other music publishers along
the same lines.
NEW HERBERT OPERA.
"The Madcap Duchess" is to be the title of the
new Victor Herbert opera which will be produced
by H. II. Frazee in Boston at the Colonial The-
ater, October 27. Glenn Hall has been engaged to
sing the leading tenor role in the forthcoming pro-
duction.
