In speaking of European musical conditions
Mr. Douglas said: "While it is true the Amer-
ican popular song is a big factor in the musical
life of European countries the credit for this
situation can be given to the popularity of the
American fox-trot. American dance orchestra-
tions have a rhythm that seemingly cannot be
duplicated by European arrangers. American
dance arrangements are always given first pref-
erence. .

"If any one doubts the predominating posi-
tion of American publications a few examples
will serve to enlighten them. For instance, a
well-known Munich sculptor produced a bust
of Alex Hyde, an American orchestra leader
who plays exclusively for the Deutchen Grama-
phone Co., and this has been placed in the Hall
of Fame alongside of the busts of Wagner and
Strauss. Visitors are given a pamphlet upon
viewing Hyde's bust telling of his activities
and prominence.
"In France Billy Henley and Billy Arnold,
both Americans, are among the outstanding
orchestra leaders of that country. Their musical
combinations are in demand for many functions
and they play in the gayest places of Paris.

American dance selections.

Gives a Most Interesting Report of the Pop-

Walter Douglas, sales manager of Waterson,
Berlin & Snyder, returned recently to New
York following a ten weeks' trip touring the
capitals of Europe. Mr. Douglas viewed every
phase of music activities on the other side, par-
ticularly those relating to the exploitation of
popular songs, rolls and records.
His trip was most interesting as everywhere

as long as the fox-trot holds sway. There are
no indications that the fox-trot will wane in
popularity in this country and neither are there
any in Europe."

To the port songs for men's voices has been
added "Rascal Rufus" and a Negro spiritual
called "Steal Away." To the compositions of
George B. Nevin has been added "A Song of
the Sea." This is a part song for mixed voices.
To its sacred music for women's voices has
been added a three part number "Ave Maria"

Cradle Days," and the new novelty "I Miss My
Swiss." This latter number is successful both
in song and dance form and should reach its
greatest height of sales early in September.
