Al Jones, producer of the musical show,
"What's in a Name?' 1 was recently made de-
fendant in a city court action brought by Milton
Ager, the well-known song writer, to recover the
sum of a little over a thousand dollars, alleged
to be accrued royalties covering a period from
May 17 to June 24, 1920. In the papers of the
Ager action it is alleged that Jones personally

T. B. Harms & Francis, Day & Hunter, the
well-known music publishers, have acquired the

of which are by Richard Coburu and Arthur
Jackson. The number has shown up well in
several tryouts that it has been given and the
above publishing firm is planning to exploit the
number on a large scale.
