THE MUSIC TRADE
REVIEW
HOW THE MUSIC PUBLISHERS APPEARED TO HERB ROTH
Herewith is repro-
duced a cartoon which
appeared in the New
York World during
the recent convention
of the Music Publish-
ers' Association of the
United States show-
ing Roth's idea of a
m u s i c publishers'
gathering.
Both the publishers'
organization and the
convention of the Na-
tional Association of
Sheet Music Dealers,
which were held on
practically the same
date, by the way, re-
ceived some unusual
publicity in New York
dailies. Much of this
was due to the good
work done by J. M.
Priaulx.

Famous Cartoonist's Impression of the Music Publishers
PAPER WORKERS IN ENGLAND STRIKE ner & Co., came out chiefly for recognition of
Music Publishers Affected by Demands of
British Unions
LONDON, ENG., June 23.—The National Union of
Printing and Paper Workers has hold of a good
many of the employes in the music publishing
business here, such as the packers, stock keep-
ers, etc. It has drawn up a schedule of wages
and given the employers notice this scale must
be paid.
The majority of the music publishing houses
took a firm stand on the point that their men
must either leave the union or give up their
jobs. In most cases the jobs won.

Co., Hawkes & Son, Metzler & Co., and Suge-

the union. The employers state that they will
not have the strikers back on any condition,
and are filling their places.
The- union now threatens to force the pub-
lishers to recognize the union by getting print-
ers and paper workers to withhold supplies,
but it is not thought this will be successful.
A British composer to come into prominence
lately is Goossens, a very young musician
whose works have been presented here very
sparingly.

FRANKLIN SIGNS NEW CONTRACT
M. Witmark & Sons to Publish Works of
Musical Comedy Composer and Song Writer
—"Dearie" and "The Leopard Lady" to
Appear Soon, and a Third Show Will Follow
Malvin M. Franklin, who has written the
music for the forthcoming production of
"Dearie"—the musical version of Lillian Rus-
sell's famous vehicle, "Wildfire"—has signed a
contract under whose terms M. Witmark &
Sons will be his exclusive publishers for a term
of years. Mr. Franklin's music is well-known,
as it has been a feature for many years of sev-
eral of the musical successes in which Lew
Fields starred, including "A Lonely Romeo,"
"All Aboard" and "The Wife Hunters." Both
the American and English productions of "The
Lilac Domino" contained interpolated numbers
by Mr. Franklin.
A big popular song-hit published a year or
so ago was "Shades of Night," for which Mr.
Franklin was partly responsible, and he has met
with success in his compositions for many and
varied vaudeville acts. It is not merely as a
writer of music that he has made a name, for
Mr. Franklin has a reputation not only as con-
ductor in the making of phonograph records,
but also as a maker of player-piano rolls. His
work in this field for the Rythmodik Music
Corp. is well known.
Mr. Franklin, in addition to the score of
"Dearie," which M. Witmark & Sons will pub-
lish, has completed another new operetta, ready
for production next season, under the title of
"The Leopard Lady," and is now working on
a third show for Lee Morrison, which is to
follow "Dearie." He is a decided acquisition to
the Witmark staff of versatile writers.
SILVER WITH CHAS. K. HARRIS
Maxwell Silver, long general manager of Gil-
bert & Friedland, Inc., and prior to that time
connected with other firms in an official capac-
ity, recently was appointed sales manager for
Chas. K. Harris.
Mr. Silver brings to the Harris organization
a wealth of experience and it is understood that
lie has some new glans which will shortly be
inaugurated.
