EXPLOITS SONGS BY ORCHESTRAS
Wm. M. Redfield, who was recently appointed
manager of the band and orchestra department
of C. C. Church & Co., Hartford, Conn., has been
connected with the music business for many
years, and is thoroughly conversant with this
field. Mr. Redfield has many original ideas in
regard to exploiting songs through the medium
of the orchestras and his plans for the coming
months in that connection are quite extensive.
Developing Sensationally
A court decision of distinct importance to pub-
lishers of popular songs anent the practice of
furnishing professional copies to performers prior
to copyright, has been handed down by Justice
Hand in the U. S. District Court of New York in
a recent ruling.
Stripped of legal verbiage the decision holds
that where a publisher furnishes "professional
copies" of songs to members of the theatrical pro-
fession in order that they may sing them in
various performances the-publisher does not "ded-
icate them to the public," but that his full rights
of copyright are defended.
The case on which the decision was based is
that of McCarthy & Fischer against White. The
two plaintiffs had composed a song and had given
a "professional copy" to one Holtz. a vaudeville
performer, who was to use the song in his act.
Similar copies were given to other artists several
weeks before the application was made for the
copyright.
In his answer to the complaint White contends
that as the song had been sung in vaudeville in a
number of places before it was copyrighted the
authors and composers had "dedicated to the pub-
lic" all rights in the matter. In his opinion the
Judge decides that "public performance of a musi-
cal composition is not an abandonment of it to the
public."
"I DON' WAN' TO DOOES IT"
The Central Music Co., Murphysboro, 111., are
having good success with their novelty song "I
Don' Wan' to Dooes It." The song is being sung
by over 350 professional singers, and the firm
are giving much publicity to it. Among other
things they are sending to the trade lithographed
posters 20 by 30 inches, made especially for win-
dow display.
