MUSIC DEALERS AGAIN COMPLAIN
Tell With Regret of Contracts Signed With Ir-
responsible Concerns for Supplies of Sheet
Music—Should Pay Heed to Warning
The Review has again received complaints
from sheet music dealers who have been "taken
in" by one of the so-called "publishing sales
companies." This time their representative has
been operating in the vicinity of Buffalo.
Late last fall The Review investigated the
operations of these companies following which
an article appeared in this section showing their
methods. We would again suggest to all deal-
ers to deal with reputable publishing houses
and the legitimate music jobbers, all of which
are well able to care for the dealers' wants.
The following is the proposition these agents
present:
They promise to deliver the latest
popular music at l l /z cents a copy, with the priv-
ilege of excanging any music left unsold for
newer issues from time to time. They also
give the dealer a coupon to be presented to cus-
tomers which can be exchanged for merchan-
dise to the value of lYz cents. The music, when
delivered, proves to be old copyrights dating
back four or five years and publications that
never were popular. When the dealers write in
for satisfaction the firms in question avoid an-
swering or completely dodge the issue.
CHAPPELL & CO. SECURE "WAITING"
Now Own Copyright of Famous English Song
in All Countries But Great Britain
The New York office of Chappell & Co.,' Ltd.,
recently received a cable from their home office
in London, to the effect that they have secured
the copyright of the famous song "Waiting"
(When I Hear the Gate A-Swinging) for all
countries outside of Great Britain and Ireland.
It is said that there was much competition in-
volved in the securing of this song, there being
a number of publishers endeavoring to obtain
the rights. There is very little doubt but that
the successful bidders paid a very large advance
for the privilege.
Chappell & Co. have, been very successful in
securing a number of ballad successes which
have been produced in England during the war.
This includes "Keep the Home Fires Burning"
(Till the Boys Come Home), "When the Great
SAN DIEGO, CAL., March 16.—Elmer E. Randall, l\ed Dawn is Shining," and now, this, their
