That if imitation is the sincerest flattery
this little column has every reason to get chesty
for it has been copied by both a trade publica-
tion and a theatrical paper for their music
departments. New and original ideas probably
require too much real thought and time, and,
besides, copying the other fellow's style is so
much easier.
THAT the song pluggers are now practicing pan-
tomime stuff in preparation fo.r the time when the
movies will have full control of all the vaudeville
and many of the "legitimate" theaters of the city.
THAT the only difficulty about the scores of new
national songs that are put on the market by
aspiring composers is that they never materialize
into national songs.
THAT a national song, unlike some popular hits,
cannot be written to order.
THAT the department stores have taken a leaf
from the book of the movie theater and started a
series of "composers' and song writers' days."
THAT, SO much free entertainment o.ffered, the
general public will have little reason to buy their
music for the home.

Harry B. Smith, Prominent Librettist, Brings
Action Against Florenz Ziegfeld to Recover
$3,813, Claimed to Be Due Him for Libretto
of "Miss Innocence."
Harry B. Smith, the librettist, has brought suit
in the Supreme Court against Florenz Ziegfeld,
Jr., for $3,813, unpaid royalties, which he claims
are due to him on a contract which he entered
into with the Follies manager for the production of
"Miss Innocence" some years ago, in which Anna
Held starred.
Smith alleges that in addition to his stipulated
royalties he was to receive 3 per cent, of the gross
receipts and that he was not paid all due him
under the agreement. He says that he received no
remuneration between January 18 and February
20, and April 19 and April 30, 1910.
