THAT Anatol Friedland, who has been respon-
sible for "The Persian Garden" and other suc-
cesses, is about to enter vaudeville with Olga
Olnova, a well-known singer, as partner.
THAT a dramatic critic in Chicago lists several
of the popular hits of the day as "vaudeville
pests."
THAT a couple dozen more such "pests" would
help vaudeville and at the same time put the pub-
lishers on easy street.
THAT, following the usual course of events, we
may expect to see "Thanks for the Lobster" as the
title for a new song. Can't let an expression like
that get by.
THAT the Remick & Co. store in Los Angeles has
been moved to new and much larger quarters at
522 Broadway, that city.

DEATH OF_REN SHIELDS.
TABLOID TRUTHS
Writer of a Number of Popular Song Successes
Dies at His Home on Long Island After Long
Illness—Had Long Been Penniless.
You Only Live Twenty Thousand Days!
Ren Shields, the song writer who wrote "In the
Good Old Summer Time" and other popular songs,
died last Saturday at his home in Massapequa,
L. I. Mr. Shields had been ill for two years fol-
lowing a breakdown which affected his mind. He
was forty-five years old and left a widow. For a
long time he was a member of the vaudeville team
of Shields and Maximillian. Mr. Shields was a
member of the Friars, White Rats and the Vaude-
ville Comedy Club. Despite the large amounts he
made from his songs, Shields had been penniless
for a long time before his death and was looked
after by a number of old theatrical friends.
AN INTERESTING DECISION.
Judge in Federal District Court Holds That
Only Ones Who Have Cause for Complaint
Regarding Imitations Are Those Imitated.
Judge Ward, in the Federal District Court,
handed down a decision of particular interest in
its interpretation f the copyright law when he
vacated a temporary injunction granted to Henry
W. Savage against Gertrude Hoffmann.
Miss Hoffmann had been singing a song entitled
"Maxim's," from "The Merry Widow." Savage's
complaint was that Miss Hoffmann imitated Lina
Abarbanell in the part of Sonia and also Donald
Brian as the Prince.
Judge Ward's ruling was that the only ones who
might have cause for complaint on account of the
imitations would be the parties imitated.
SAINT=SAENS' NEW WORK.
London is to have an early opportunity of hear-
ing Saint-Saens' new work, "The Promised Land,"
for which Hermann Kline wrote the libretto, and
which was the chief novelty of the recent Glouces-
ter Festival. The oratorio is set down for per-
formance by the Royal Choral Society on Novem-
ber 27, on which occasion Coleridge-Taylor's "A
Tale of Old Japan" is also to be given.

COURT APPOINTS RECEIVER
To Take Charge of the Affairs of Her Little
Highness Co.—Assets Consist of Stage
Properties and Costumes.
Judge Hand has appointed W. Henkel, Jr., re-
ceiver for Her Little Highess Co., which produced
the play of that name at the Liberty Theater up to
October 18, with a bond of $3,000. It was stated
that the assets are probably $6,000 in stage accesso-
ries, costumes, etc., that after the play closed at the
Liberty Theater the costumes and stage effects were
removed to some place unknown to the petitioning
creditors and a chattel mortgage was placed on them
without the consent of stockholders. Also it was
learned that Mizzi Hajos, the star of that play, in-
tended to appear on Monday in a production called
"Queen Anne," and to use the costumes and uni-
forms which belonged to Her Little Highness Co.
The troubles of the theatrical company followed
closely the bankruptcy of Werba & Luescher, who
were the producers of the piece.
