MARTIN'S ELEMENTARY RUDI-
MENTS FOR PIANO has accomplished
what no other instructor ever has. It
so simplifies piano playing that it gets
and holds the pupils' interest from start
to finish.
Teachers will appreciate your ac-
quainting them with it. And your lib-
eral profit makes it worth your while.

Arthur Hammerstein Says Royalties to Com-
posers of Musical Comedies Should Be Abol-
ished, and Cites London as a Place Where
This Plan Is Now in General Practice
EDITOR'S NOTE:
\bu can't go
wrong with
any'Feist*
We shall expectantly, not to say anxiously,
await the roar the report below will undoubtedly stir within
the breasts of musical comedy composers and which will be
heard within and without the confines of Broadway.
Arthur Hammerstein, who arrived in New
York recently on the "Olympic" after a sojourn
in Europe with L. Lawrence Weber, has a star-
tling proposition to put before producers and
composers of music in this country, namely, to
abolish all payment of royalties by producers to
composers of musical comedies.
Mr. Hammerstein says that is exactly what
has been done successfully by the London man-
agers, and he sees no reason why it should not
be done here. He said:
"Composers receive large sums of money from
music publishers in royalties on their composi-
tions and frequently as a bonus for publishing
rights. The producer, although he creates this
market for the product of the composer and
makes his music valuable, does not share in
these profits. It is manifestly unfair to the pro-
ducer after he has given the music value that
he should not participate in these profits. So
the London managers have made a new rule and
are refusing to pay any royalties on the music
of musical plays which they produce. The com-
posers, of course, were opposed to this rule at
first, but they have yielded in order to get their
musical comedies on the stage. As a matter of
fact the composers make about three times as
much money out of publishing rights and royal-
ties on sales as they do out of royalties on per-
formances. I do not see any reason why man-
agers in this country should not follow the ex-
ample of the London managers in the matter.
I for one am in favor of doing so, and I intend
to bring the matter up at the next meeting of
the Producing Managers' Association."
