Harold L. Cool and Arthur J. Daly, the boys
from Washington Heights, are progressing
very rapidly in the music publishing field.
They have now three songs with the Wm.

Publishers That They Pay Ten Cents Per Seat
Per Year for Performing Rights of Music
At their convention in Chicago recently, the
Motion Picture Exhibitors of America refused
to accede to the demands of the American So-
ciety of Authors, Composers and Publishers
that motion picture theatres pay a per capita
fee of ten cents per seat annually for the privi-
lege of performing the musical compositions of
the members of the society. The demands of
the society were presented to the convention in
person by Nathan Burkan, the society's attor-
ney, who outlined the attitude of the courts
regarding the rights of the composers and
authors and declared that the ten cent fee would
not prove burdensome. The decision of the ex-
hibitors was made upon the recommendation
of a spec al committee.
Edgar F. Bitner, general manager of Leo
Feist, Inc., received a most splendid gift from
the managers and traveling representatives of
his organization at the annual banquet that

Pickin' Time in Alabam'," "Nippon, the Land
of the Rising Sun," and "America, Help the
Land of the Fleur de Lys." The photograph of
the boys appears herewith. They have writ-

Next Sunday, August 5, has been set as'de as
American Composers' Day in Newark, N. J.,
and the feature will be a special concert to be
given at Branch Brook Park, that city, where
compositions by Americans will be featured.
One of the most important numbers on the
program will be the overture "Colleoni," com-
posed by Dr. Kdward O. Schaaf, of Newark,
who also arranged the complete orchestrafon.
Mr. Schaaf has come into considerable promi-
nence in the music field through his arrangement
of elaborate and unusual orchestrations for the
player-piano. It will be the first occasion on
which the new overture will be heard in public
although it has already appeared on music rolls.
OLD FAVORITEJN NEW DRESS
was held recently, in the shape of a gold watch
and platinum chain, with pearl connecting
links. At the time of the presentation, Mr.
Bitner was so astounded with the gift that he
was hardly ready for a speech, but he managed
to say that he appreciated the offering from
his boys. A photograph of the gift is shown
herewith.

American War, has been revived by its author
and publisher, -Chas. K. Harris. The number
has been given an entirely new title page,
which has been accepted by the dealers and
public alike as quite an attraction because of
its former big sales and popularity.
