if any, that could be procured from the indis-
criminate releases of songs or instrumental num-
bers in this manner would not be marked. Most
of the results would be through the medium of
the orchestra, and the present-day situation
shows that it is not the orchestra that has failed.
On the other hand the orchestra has taken a
position during the last two or three years that
makes it valuable to the publishers, but that
does not mean that the publishers should change
the laws or regulations under which orchestras
operate in popularizing music. It is not to the
orchestras therefore that the publishers must look
for a new means for popularizing songs. The
problems will have to be met by other means,
and to place the blame on the policies of the
American Society of Authors, Composers and
Publishers will not advance the interests or the
dividends of the trade.

MORE COMMENTS ON JAZZ VANDALS
Milwaukee Paper Adds to Argument of Nor-
wegian Music Lovers Who Object to Ragging
of "Peer Gynt"—"Big Stick" Is Advised
MILWAUKEE, WIS., November 13.—Under the
heading, "The Jazz Vandal," the Milwaukee
Sentinel of November 7 published the following
editorial which is of general intere'st:
"Music lovers all along have been predicting
that this jazz business would get us into trou-
ble of some sort.
"Their predictions appear to be verified in a
measure, for the dispatches relate that a tre-
mendous musical roar has set up in Norway
over the fact that some misguided musical genius
in Tin Pan Alley has adapted Grieg's famous
'Peer Gynt' suite to ragtime, and that insult
has been added to injury by perpetuating the
atrocity on gramophone records which are being
distributed broadcast.
"The sensitive Norwegians have taken this as
a national affront—at least the musical element
has done so—and it is reported that a protest
has been sent to Washington urging that the
offenders be required to stop this vandalism.
"No lover of good music is going to quarrel
with the Norwegian objectors. But it is a little
difficult to see how they are going to do any-
thing about it or what the Government can do.
The inalienable liberties of a free people seem
to include the right to jazz up any musical com-
position that may appeal to the syncopator, as
well as the right to perpetuate the results on a
gramophone record and distribute them where
they will do the most harm.

oilier lands have not escaped the attacks of the
mechanicians of Tin Pan Alley. The linest com-
positions of every a.nc have fallen before the
devastating hand of the syncopation expert.
"Perhaps, if the music lovers of America
could be brought together to accomplish their
hearts' desire of rambling through Jazz Lane
with a heavy elm club they might accomplish
something that would soothe the Norwegians
and not hurt the feelings of their follow citizens
appreciably."
CLOSE DEAL FOR FILM MUSIC
Music Publishers' Protective Association Makes
Deal With Synchronized Scenario Music Co.
The negotiations which have been carried on
between the Music Publishers' Protective As-
sociation and the Synchronized Scenario Music-
Co, have been brought to a close. A form of
contract for the use of publishers and this new
organization has been arranged and it is said
this involves the payment of $5,000 advance
loyalties by the Synchronized Scenario Music
Co.
The plans of this new concern call for spe-
cially arranged scores, to be used in connection
with feature pictures, making use of musical
themes from catalogs of the members of the
Music Publishers' Protective Association.
