from photographs of the windows sent to the Dit-
son Co. by the contestants, and the editors of the Plans have been completed to send on tour this
season three separate companies presenting the
great Henry Blossom-Victor Herbert success, "The
Only Girl," which ran all last season in New York.
The No. 1 company, the original New York com-
pany, opened in Chicago on Monday of this week,
and tlie other companies will start their seasons
\er_v soon. M. Witmark & Sons, the pub'ishers of
'The Only Girl" music, report a heavy demand for
the various numbers, even between seasons.
In view of the reawakening of general interest
in the old plantation melody, "Carry Me Back to
Old Virginny," due largely to the wonderful man-
ner in which Alma Gluck has sung that number
for the Victor record (No. 74420), the Oliver Dit-
GUSTAV LUDERS' ESTATE $160.
Oliver Ditson Co.'s Display of
'Carry
son 'Co., Boston, the publisher, has planned to fur-
ther stimulate the demand for the piece by offering
a cash prize of $25 for the best display of that
song. To the music dealers who wish to partici-
pate in the contest the Ditson Co. will furnish, free,
the necessary title pages for the display and de-
pend upon the ingenuity of the dealer for the final
effect, without saddling him with any expense in

music departments of the several trade papers will
act as judges.
The accompanying illustration of the window of
the Oliver Ditson Co. store in Boston shows an
effective arrangement of music and records, al-
though this window will naturally not enter into
the competition. The contest will close Novem-
ber 1.
Gustav Luders, the composer, who died suddenly
on January 24, 1913, left a net estate of only
$l()0.20, according to the transfer tax appraisal filed
recently. The report states that the total assets
were only $7,Ml, of which $4,26G was in securities,
and there were debts of $5,360 and other deduc-
tions, making a total of $7,390. The entire estate
went to the widow, Grace G. Luders.
Tlie report shows that Mr. Luders' intercsl in
thirteen comic operas amounts to only $2,. r >i»0 for
the performing rights and $500 for the publishing
rights. Among the operas were "King Dodo,"
"Prince of Pilsen," "Shogun," "Woodland" and
"Mam'selle Napoleon." Two of them, "The Grape
Girl" and "A Friend of Jack's," were never pub-
lished.
