THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
1921
CANADIAN COPYRIGHT ACT DORMANT
Although Measure Was Passed by Parliament
No Order in. Council Has Been Issued to
Make It Operative—Publishers Take Action
Music publishers in the United States are
waiting more or less patiently for the Order in
Council which will make the recently passed
Canadian Copyright Act effective. Although the
measure was passed by the Canadian Parliament,
that fact has not meant the ending of the op-
position on the part of certain Canadian in-
terests who do not relish seeing two or three
hundred thousands of dollars in royalties paid
annually to publishers on this side of the bor-
der, for it is conceded that 90 per cent of the
mechanical royalties would come into the
United States.
Inasmuch as the mechanical section of the
Canadian Copyright Act is not retroactive, every
day of delay in putting it into force means a
substantial loss to music publishers. The Ameri-
can Society of Composers, Authors and Pub-
lishers held a meeting recently to decide upon
some definite action looking towards putting
the Canadian Act into operation.
TO HANDLE NEW "DADDY" NUMBER
Edward B. Marks Music Co. Arranges With
Triangle Co. for Sole Selling Rights for
"Daddy, Your Mamma Is Lonesome for You"
Edward B. Marks, while at Atlantic City re-
cently, heard Sophie Tucker sing "Daddy, Your
Mamma Is Lonesome for You" in her char-
acteristic way and win round after round of ap-
plause therefor. Mr. Marks immediately called
up Joe Davis, of the Triangle Music Co., on the
telephone, with the result that the Edward B.
Marks Music Co. now has the sole selling agency
for the new "Daddy" song. The Edward B.
Marks Co. also handles exclusively other works
bearing the Triangle trade-mark, including
"President Harding March" and "The Rambling
Blues."
The E. T. Paull Music Co. is arranging for
the publication at an early date of a new popu-
lar song, entitled "Tootsie," by Arthur Coogan
and Dick Barton, two well-known musicians in
talking machine circles. The number will be
ready for release in about two or three weeks.

EUROPEAN SUCCESS FOR WITMARKS
American Rights to "The Violet Song" Secured
by Prominent Publishers—Will Issue It Here
Under the Tide of "The Violet's Dream"
The American rights to "The Violet Song,"
the latest success by Maurice Yvain, composer
of the present success, "Mon Homme," have
been secured by M. Witmark & Sons, the nego-
tiations being carried on by cable. The number
is a fox-trot and was introduced in the pre-
vailing Paris revue " 'Cach' Ton Piano," by the
well-known artiste, Mme. Rose Amy, and is also
being used in "The Whirligig," the revue at the
Palace Theatre, London. The English version
of the number is published by West & Co., Lon-
don, under the title of "Golden Butterfly," but
Witmark & Sons will issue the American version
under the title, "The Violet's Dream." It is ex-
pected that the melody will soon be familiar to
Broadway.
