Not only is the title "Smilin' Through" used

as one of the film triumphs of the season, but
the music is played throughout the showing,

strongly the demand for the sheet music wher-

ADJUSTING AUSTRALIAN ROYALTIES
Louis S. Sterling Confers With American Pub-
lishers Regarding Australian Royalties
Louis S. Sterling, of the Columbia Gramo-
phone Co., Ltd., London, England, recently ar-
rived in the United States. Early this month
he attended a meeting of the board of gov-
ernors of the Music Publishers' Protective Asso-
ciation, the purpose of which was to arrange
some satisfactory form of paying mechanical
royalties on records manufactured in England
and distributed in Australia.
According to a decision of the highest court
of Australia, handed down early this year, Aus-
tralian publishers who have obtained the distri-
bution rights for American compositions in their
country are entitled to the mechanical royalties
accruing on the records of such works as are
manufactured in England and sold in Australia.
Thus the talking machine record manufacturer
of England who pays the American publisher
for the manufacture of records sold in Eng-
land and in Australia must again, according to
the decision, pay the Australian owner of the
copyright.
It is thought that an arrangement can be ar-
rived at confining the payment of royalties to
one source.
